  LeeAnna  has asked snow cone or ice cream cone?  what flavors? I don't care much for ice cream or snow cones, really.  I like sherbet or, even better, Dole Whip.  Yum!  The first time I had it was in Hawaii.  I was delighted to find it at an ice cream shop in town.  I have it maybe once a year.  That reminds me I haven't had any yet.  Oh, I do like a banana split from Dairy Queen.  I had one for my birthday this year.  Yikes, so many calories! I like that my hubby goes camping every August.  He loves it.  Usually, at least one of our sons can join him.  His brother, BIL, nephews and a friend join him as well.  It is a good, relaxing time filled with outdoor activities.  All good.  I particularly like having a week where I don't have to cook much.   I like filling my world with colour and beauty. So does Yinka Ilori His TED talk was interesting.

Work in progress Wednesday

 This is a collaboration with my two-year-old granddaughter.  While I was taking care of her on Monday, she made lots of art.  It was her happy place.  She made loads of art and I kept a piece.  It was fun for me to add my own marks to it. I may or may not add more to it.  We will see.

Mandala Monday

Image
 Hmm, this one seems rather dark.  The shimmer and shine are not showing in the photo.  I sure wish I knew a good way of capturing the glitz!  Even if I did, I feel like this could use a little something else.  I will ponder what is next for this.

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
  I have added more stitching to this mandala.  There is very little space left to fill.  I imagine I can finish it today.  I love a good finish!  It has been such a pleasure working with these lovely bright colours.  I might need to start a scroll using these colours!  Fun!

LeeAnna  has asked a vivid memory of a family vacation you'll always remember... when you were young? or after you grew up, either. What made it stand out and memorable? People, place, activity, etc We took the boys to Disney World in Florida when they were kids.  That was the only real vacation we had with our kids.  The rest of our vacations were camping in Ontario.  Disney was fun, and we did some camping along the coast afterwards.  So many good memories.  The wildlife was particularly entertaining.  Raccoons tried to steal our dinner.  One morning, while having coffee, dolphins swam by!  That was cool to see! Right now we are looking forward to our trip to the UK.  So much history to see!  My hubby's favourite vacation is when we went to New Zealand.  It was good and I enjoyed it but my favourite is when we went to France.  Paris did not disappoint! I like having art days with friends!   Yesterday was a lot ...

 I have some linen samples that I have been wanting to stitch into.  They are mostly shades of beige and off-white.  I find I rarely use those colours.  They feel so blah to me.  I decided to get out some dyes and make the linen samples more appealing to me. I had some leftover dye and really hate to waste anything, so I did up some paper too.  I used a variety of papers and love the way they turned out!

Mandala Monday

Image
 This is a mixed-media mandala playground.  My mandalas are a lovely distraction!  I could certainly be doing other things but in my mind, creating art is rarely wrong!
