KITCHEN TABLE READY FOR SPRING! / VALENTINES DAY

My Folk Art "Dorothy & Tonto" and embroidered sign say there is no place like "Home Sweet Home"! The  old quilt and dollies along with my favorite poka-dot pitcher and napkins "liven up"  the scene.

KITCHEN CHANDELIER DECORATED FOR THE VALENTINE SEASON

I converted a wooden electric chandelier to candle power and embellished it with greenery, fabric and wooden hearts. It looks happy and cheerful and sends the message; "Happy Valentines Day To All"

I"M BACK IN THE STUDIO AGAIN!

I've been wanting to "liven up" this painting of DAVEY'S TREEHOUSE  for sometime so decided I'd do that first. I have a very special memory involving the tree house. On a rainy "pancake morning" not long after it was built. I  could just imagine how the rain would sound coming down on that metal roof, and how fun it would be to have breakfast up there among the trees. So with a little persuasion,  we carried  pancakes, bacon, o.j., milk and coffee along with folding chairs and T.V. trays up the ladder and "Made a Memory", a very special one for me!

GREETING CARDS FROM HEXAGON QUILT SCRAPES

While cutting out more Hexagon Quilt Blocks I was thinking I need to stop and find a couple of my cards suitable for sending to two friends going through hard times right now. And then a light bulb went off--Why not use these scraps!  So with cardstock, sissors, glue and scrapes my newest style of Greeting card was born! Reminded me of a quote from the Bible that Mother use to refer to frequently, "What is that in your hand?"
