Snowy Saturday

I can't believe it has snowed today didn't accumulate to much on ground however it snowed for a long time. Temperatures tonight low 27!!  Rain most of day also.

Our Rivers are really rising here in Missouri, I have a friend on the river in Clarksville whose house is in big danger of serious flooding. It's sad to see a mansion flood.

I worked in my studio off and on all day trying to straighten up work tables and making it look maybe not so cluttered which it is . I rearranged some tables and still need to get more done. This picture is just a shelf.



I also did some baking today ,I made chocolate chip black walnut cookies. They are soooo good . I bake from scratch no mixes most of the time.LOL
 Delicious if I say so myself.

This is a page out of an old Victorian calendar to remind me it is still March  one more day. I think the little girl is so cute and the bunny




My flapper doll waiting to be dressed ,that pink silk is off an old blouse of mine and of course an old lace dollies. I posted these for Pink Saturday . She is sitting in a chair I painted pink several years ago and paint is still good




Also my pink fairy is posted for Pink Saturday at How Sweet The Sound blog, she is hanging under a shelf




Gosh I'm tired now so must go have cup hot tea and rest a while, hope you are having a good Saturday.
My neighbors just drove in from Tampa Florida and came home to a cold surprise with our snow

Pink Saturday

I Went To Paris

Well I did go to Paris Missouri to an antique show with a friend. It was like back in the late 1980's to me all the blue crocks, quilts and primitives that I use to love.

I bought some flatware forks which my Instagram friends said are cake knives which I thought was fish forks LOL
I just love them I also purchased a large serving spoon and a butter knife to match the pattern oh also a cake server



After that show we drove over to Mexico Missouri and went in a fabulous small shop which the owner collects clocks and has many in his shop. Anybody that knows me knows I love rhinestones on anything LOL and when I seen this clock I knew I wanted it. It is marked France !!! I'm sure Paris ?





I need to show a few pink thing for Pink Saturday and this time of year before Easter there is plenty of Pink around here. I'm sure at your house and studio also.This is a box of little treasures I bought at a warehouse sell in Chesterfield to adorn some of my creations I'm always working on something  for self entertainment. I Love the little plastic lamb.




 Here is a tray of Easter Eggs I am still working on which I have the ideas in my head just can't get them on the eggs, do you know what I mean? I found this white porcelain egg tray in a resale shop last week and it's perfect for my fancy eggs. I'll add the rhinestones on the handle




Here is a couple plastic rabbits that opens and I added some of my vintage buttons in them



Well I have to take a walk while the sun is out, it has rained some today and lots thunder also.



I am joining in Pink Saturday

Fun With Sea Shells

I have been playing way to much in the studio and not keeping up with house work. But guess that is ok? A friend and I have been working with our collected sea shells.Some are my grandparents from Florida back from 1960's.
I also used some die cuts I bought years ago from an artist estate sale.I get started on a project and just can't stop however there is lots of glue dying time evolved with these.

This first one is my favorite one



These were really fun to make I'll show a couple

I think this is another one that is my favorite LOL I had a small piece drift wood I added
The backs are shells glued standing up then I embellished them with with trims etc

I added some pearls since pearls do come from our sea shells



I think this little girl is sweet riding in her egg cart, I put glitter around her shell , It was a challenge to get these shells glued to stand up on other shells




Now i'm trying to decorate Easter Eggs, since I love glitter I'm starting with glitter and then will add ribbon trims and rhinestones. I must let them wait for today I have a list of other things to get done. Also since the sun is shinning I can get things accomplished, on cloudy days I just want to sit and eat cookies LOL





Are you working on any projects? I still have cards I want to make for Birthdays etc.I use old papers from calendars and scarp book finds on my cards




Joining  in Pink Saturday today

Happy Daylight Savings Time

 I have just been piddling around the house and trying to straighten up a few things however keep finding things to play with like these old glass bead flowers. I have been straightening up the peddles. because I had them squashed in a drawer



I even have sun out today on the first day of daylight savings time.

I do hate to hear about the Missouri River above flood stage up north of St Louis .I have a friend who lives in an old mansion and I hate to hear how close the water gets to his house on the river.
There is some wonderful old house along the river towns in Missouri.

I even found these napkins I bought myself back in December and will use them now that I found them in a drawer. I like anything monogrammed I have said this before.




  Just a quick hello I,m going to eat some blueberry scones now I made this afternoon, also need to make a cup hot tea to go with them .

Hope you are having a good Sunday, does everybody change to daylight savings time ?
