Good Things, Bad Things

My peonies are in full bloom!
Good Thing!
 
The rain has them all beat to the ground.
Bad Thing!
 
I can still bring them in and put them in vases.
Good Thing!
 
They bring ants in the house like crazy!
Bad Thing, but worth it!


A new coffee cup that my Mom and Dad bought for me!
Good Thing!


We came home from work last night to find water dripping from our family room ceiling.
Bad Thing!
 
JWS quickly had it fixed!
and
it was a good excuse to clean under the vanity.
Double Good Thing!

I'd say all the good outweighed the bad...at least it probably felt like that.
How awesome getting those paints!!!

The lady up the street has the most awesome Pink Peonies - I remember them as a child at our house...mom would cut them and put them in a vase and we mushed ants constantly...part of having Peonies.

my peonies have done the same thing. The worst part about them is they just don't last long enough.
That is some sample box.

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
