I get together with several friends once or twice a month to make cards, have lunch, make some more cards, and generally solve all the problems of the world -- if only the world would listen.
I did take my grandson with me a couple of years ago. His little head was just a swivel with the conversations going on. At one point he leaned over to me, shaking his head, and said, "I would so be in time out."
Advantage of being a woman of a certain age -- you don't worry so much about having to be so well behaved. Laughter is good for us.
Yesterday we had a delicious Mexican influenced salad, freshly baked zucchini bread, and a frozen dessert. Another time I may post the dessert recipe because it was refreshing (even though rich) on a very hot day.
Okay . . . so my phone is not going to unload, upload or down load any photos today. Maybe never again. I keep saying I need a new phone. This may push me to do it finally.

I need more people to send cards to. A lot of times I pack up a bunch and take them to a charity resale shop or donate them to a nursing home. But I can't stop making them.
Oh, how pretty! I do know what you mean about wanting weekends to be nice. I guess it deeply ingrained. Besides, I want it for my kids and for all those other people who just get to play on the weekends.
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a fun rainy day activity. It seemed when we worked that it ALWAYS rained on the weekends.
ReplyDeleteIn all your craft projects have you tried colored pencils? Not necessarily coloring book grade pencils but the artist grade pencils.
ReplyDeleteI do use the watercolor pencils for some card making. I also use them to sketch for watercolor painting or for adding some detail.
DeleteVery pretty! I love the window in the top right corner especially.

Like you, retired but still want nice weather on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteVery crafty of you! I keep thinking I should try to begin watercoloring, but procrastinate terribly. I think many events happen on weekends and more people are out and about and we retireds like that.
ReplyDeletewell at least you are getting sunshine. All I've seen is rain, rain, and more rain. They say we may see sun on Tuesday of next week.
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty and detailed work. Are these felt flowers?
Yeah, it's so much better when it's bright and cheery outside.
