Splat!

I was going through some photos today.

And found this one.

And it made me laugh.

The nephews were visiting.

They wanted me to take pictures of a water balloon breaking.

Problem is, they use regular balloons.

Because they're big.

And they don't always break on the first try.

Or the second.

Or the third.

So, I guess this is THAT process.

In photos.

Muscatine Mosaic Project {part II}

I don't have any photos of all of the mosaic art,

but these are a couple of my favorites.

I actually purchased one from this same artist.

And talked to her about her methods.

And told her she should find someplace local to sell them!

Talent.

Bird is the word

I stumbled upon this in the parking lot one day.

And was sad.

That I was too late to save it.

Poor lady cardinal.

Summer sweater

I saw this Heliotropic sweater in

Interweave Knits

and loved it.

BUT, I knew that for me, it would need a few chnages.

SO I changed it.

And I like it.

A lot.

Mishmash

Spinach.

With Tuna patties, crumbled.

And roasted red peppers.

Alongside homeade hummus.

HEllo, yum!

Planting

Ranunculus

Except now they look like brown sticks.

And I did water them.

Is this normal?

English Daisies

They still look prettttty!

Massage room project: frame

My dear friend Heidi got me this print for my birthday.

Its pretty appropriate.

And, it can be found here.

I didn't have quite the right frame,

so I busted out the paint again.

Acrylic this time.

And some of my glossy stampin' stuff.

And the sandpaper.

For distressing.

It turned out pretty well.

Now, I've just got to get it on the walllllll!
