A Good Thing

 Velvet pumpkins...

a good thing.

 Chair covers...

a very good thing.

 

 A place to reflect on blessings...

a necessary thing.

 

 I pray for those in need of peace.

For those in need of a place.

 

I would encourage you to

enjoy those seated around the

THANKSGIVING TABLE

be they family or friends...

it's a good thing.

Busiest place in town

 As families gather

 around the kitchen for this

Thanksgiving and Christmas season,

 I pray for renewal of spirit,

 renewal of relationships,

 renewal of all that makes 

a family the

cornerstone of a society.

God Bless us all!

Autumn Glow

 There's just somthing

calming about

the glow of a candle

 when there is a crisp wind

blowing outside

Wishing all a wonderful

weekend

~Candy~

all-a-flutter

 Tickled pink after a wonderful rain

and seems I'm not the only one.

She's a bit shy
Miss Tiger Swallowtail,

didn't want to give me 

a good shot.

Hope your Monday is off to a flying start!

Cherish Every Moment

 Finishing up on some 

altered fabric collages

 a little vintage lace and
pieces of this and that
touched or created by

artful hands of the past,
find their way into

my art that reminds...

cherish every moment

~Candy~

Glamping...I wish!

 Well I have the tent all set up...

where is hubby with the canoe.

Now which way did that girl go?

Off to the Boundary Waters of Minnesota

for a week in the wilderness.

I just might not come back...

Flower Girl

  My latest art piece...

The Flower Girl

vintage photo & brooch, 

pieces of fabric & trim, 

 layers of embellishments

There is a part of me that wants to keep

every creation. This one sold in 

less than a week and...

I miss her.

Every girl should

wear flowers 

in her hair

~Candy~

 Someone found the key to my heart

37 years ago.

 Still going strong...

~Candy~

Life is swingin' around here!

Finally having a listen in posting

with the new blogger format.

Wedding Bells

Wedding Bells are ringing

Kitchen Band is singing

The clock is dinging...

and I'm running out of time!


Speaking of running...

Bride & Groom hold those vows,

Kitchen Band take a bow,

cause Dixie and I are running...

off to the Big TOP!

Round Top

Friends

What are they good for?
Talking things out...

Off today for a little sharing with

my girlfriend.

therapy chair...
another good thing that helps,
looking thru the
chippy, faded, whites

Here's to a
Good Friend...
she's cheaper than therapy.

Angel Band

Dixie, down in French Lique, Texas

just snatched up this shy little angel
at Glory B's Cottage in Geronimo.

Then I'm turning the page in my new
Small Gardens Spring 2012
issue and

there is her--just as shy--twin sister
hiding on page 39.

Close your eyes and dream

T.M.I.

T.M.I ~too much information~
or a day in the life of an E.D.G.
Easily Distracted Gal

Usually I post about life as I would like it to be but today I'll share a little of my world the way it is! Above is my first attempt to make my own 'falling pages book' and below is one of my work stations. You can see a sign I'm putting together for the Kitchen Band's coming soon show.

Then my eye catches a thrift store find

and it's whispering,
"Make me over I want to sing."

So I grab a brush and the mod podge
and while that's drying...

I'll show ya a sign I painted the other day...
Once upon a time...
hoping to hang this over the chapel door
for the coming wedding.

and I'm also in the process of redoing this wall
in my family room but that's for another post.
T.M.I.

Let's turn around and you can see where
I practice my Kitchen Band music.

and the dining table covered in wedding vignettes

Now back on that work station...

keep up please E.D.G.

you can see three
projects lined up...I should have one of those
machines...Take A Number.
Now serving...#1 sheet music going on that tray
#2 thrift find waiting for embellishment
#3 enlarged picture of my DIL to be

I feel like Lucy in the episode where she's working on the candy factory line and the candy starts coming to fast. Too many projects, too little time, but they just keep coming...dreams from my head...E.D.G.

But that's enough for now...
this post is taking too long...
E.D.G. is squirming her chair...

see that title under the angel,
"What My Heart Wants to Tell"

Love flowing from my heart to yours
