Walking in the rain

Someone was happy to be out in the rain today.

Why is it that dogs can look so sad?  She follows me with those sad eyes until I take her out.

This is Lake Washington. 

These almost looked like swans they were so large.  But I think they are geese.

We have had such a mild winter....they are hanging out here.

Walk

Someone was happy in the rain.

Test

This is a test. If I could blog from my phone that would be yet another reason to love the iPhone.

This is my morning walking route.

Anacortes has 7 marinas. This is the one

closest to the gym I have joined (again).

I love to take the Yoga class there...

But

when it comes to exercise, I'd rather

be

outside in the...fresh air.

The sun peaked out from behind the clouds for

about 10 minutes. It was beautiful.

Later in the day over at Hutch studio...I found

my first flowers in our garden.

Pictures courtesy of my IPhone.

I love my IPhone?

I found this quote here...

the picture is from photobucket.

It is easy to send money. It is easy to pray.
It is harder to put your heart in someone
else's hand.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money.

 Money is not enough, 

 money can be got,

 but they need your hearts to love them.

 So, 

 spread your love everywhere you go.

  Mother Teresa  

I went for a walk in sunshine, yesterday.

15 minutes of Vitamin D

In Washington, We are like...

Bees to Honey

when the sun shines.

54 degrees and sunny...people put the

tops down in their convertible

and haul out their Harleys.

Walkers, cyclers, hikers, mama's and strollers

...all outside... in January...amazing.

Make a difference

Can we make a difference?

One client at a time?

There is a movement in this country.

Switching the power from large banks to small. I like this.

I am a Bank of America customer...I don't think they care about my business.

I have paid off my credit card and yet I still get charged fees.

I think I will switch to a small local bank.

Washington Federal I think is my choice.

A little glimpse of my space

at FINDERS KEEPERS

antique mall in Marysville

This hutch of Christmas goodies is

all on sale. Most things I have marked

down to 5.00. And a whole shelf

of goodie bags for 5.00.

making stuff

I have been busy.

It is hard to post...for me...

without pictures. I don't have

much to say....

unless I have something to show.

Here is my, "LOVE" collection.

I think choosing one day out

of the year to show the people

that are important to us, that

we love them...seems wrong.

Vintage paper...

Umber and pale

Pinks and aquas...

love and handmade,

this collection is

a celebration of love

every day.

I used vintage, and or

hand painted the paper for

these paper garlands. Then

stamped dots on them, so

they remind me of mushrooms.

I then strung them with wire and

added beads.

They come in a box.

A hand painted top..tied

with dyed ribbon

and inside more umbered

vintage paper, and it is

nestled in painted striped

japanese silk paper.

I ventured out to the woods

and collected branches and moss.

Arranged in a paper covered clay

pot and wired flowers on.

These are just cute little round metal tags.

Some cute little original watercolor cards.

More mushrooms, with bugs.

A hand painted box ...

(The garland box is like this on the front.)

With a charm to hang.

little framed watercolors

tags...all original art.

Everything is drawn, painted,

coffee stained....

then painted and drawn again.

All can be found at

Hutch Studio

I have some at,

Faded Elegance also.

More pictures.

All can be found at
