Sunday Watercolor.

Took a week to paint this little 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" watercolor. Sprayed with acrylic sealer to keep the color from fading. Not impressed with the finish.

Back to the drawing board.

Y'all have a great day.

Waiting For The Coffee To Perk Sunday. 2 December 2018.

Woke up early this morning. Sometime around 4 a.m. ...

Couldn't get back to sleep right away, but the sandman finally arrived around the time the alarm would normally chime. Eventually, Bandit jingled his collar (and jingled his collar, and jingled his collar) to let me know it was time for a W-A-L-K.

Shock! 6:40 a.m.! That makes two days in a row these lazy bones have stayed abed past time to rise.

As you can see by the photo snapped on our W-A-L-K, green grass has taken over some of the neighborhood. There's still a lot of snow. There's even more mud. An unusually warm December day with a high of around 50 degrees is expected. Unfortunately, a cold front is making its way and should hit sometime tomorrow. Then temperatures are expected to be mostly in the 20s. Brrrr.

Green grass in December feels like a WIN though, doesn't it?!

By the way: Happy December!

Now's the time of year to start decorating for Christmas. Haven't been able to do that since Henrietta came into the household. Might try to make a small display on top of the china cabinet; the only place she can't reach. Wish me luck.

Haven't worked on the Matryoshka ornaments at all this week. Have been trying to figure out what to do with the crazy quilt squares sewn last Winter. Below is all I've come up with so far. The handle/gusset is a re-purposed silk tie.

The coffee is ready, so I must bid you a fond farewell.

Until next time: Count your blessings.
