LeeAnna has asked us to

 Describe a wonderful romantic date 

One Valentine's Day, when our boys were young, my sweet hubby created a lovely stay-at-home date.  It took place in our old, unfinished basement!  The most unlikely of places, but that made it special.  He made dinner for all of us.  The boys got to eat in front of the TV, a big treat.  Tim and I ate at the dining room table with candlelight.  After dinner, Tim got a roaring fire going in our wood stove in our dingy basement.  He set up a cozy place for us to sit, cuddle and enjoy the fire.  I am sure that doesn't sound all that wonderful to most people.  It meant a lot to me though.  To be clear, he has also taken me to some crazy expensive restaurants for dinner for Valentine's.  Somehow, they don't mean as much to me.  Of course, I appreciate a lovely meal out; any time I don't have to cook is good!

I enjoyed going through some old photos of my art.  I was looking for something with a heart.  I love my heart-shaped altered book!  I am learning to love my art more and more.  I am learning to be less critical of it more and more.  I am learning to love myself more and more!

I like that the artic cold has moved out of Ontario!  It is actually supposed to get above freezing next week!  So exciting!

Happy Valentine's Day.  May your life be filled with love!

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Mandala Monday

Image
 Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it.  They are fun to create and that should be enough.  I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like.  It is truly a mixed media piece.  I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers.  So fun!
