Trying my hand at a new project

It has been raining hard here in "sunny" California, so I am not able to do any outdoor painting projects.  I thought this would be a perfect day to attempt some indoor projects I have wanted to try.  So I transformed by bedroom into my craft room and whipped up these wreaths.  I also made the rosettes that I have seen on so many blogs, but never could get mine to turn out, but today all the stars must have been aligned because I love how the rosettes and the wreaths turned out.  I tried to keep them rather natural looking so I left some strings hanging on them.  I also stamped "Paris" and "Bonjour" on the material I used for hangers.  I had a blast doing them.

 


I also attempted to make a burlap wreath, but it did not turn out well at all (it actually makes me laugh when I look at it)  so no post of the burlap wreath.  I will see if I can play around with it and then maybe I will post pictures of it.  I think that is it for crafting for today.  I now have to clean (if you have ever worked with burlap -- you know what I am talking about) my craft room and transform it back into my bedroom.

I am linking up with Faded Charm, White Wednesday--check it out for amazing white creations, and pictures.  http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ and transformation Thursday at http://www.theshabbychiccottage.net/


Blessings to all,

A beautiful Sunset

It is raining, gray and dreary here in "sunny" southern California  (reminds me of my childhood in Oregon)..

The picute below is of a beautiful sunset that I took just one week ago.  What a difference a few days can make. 

Jackie and I hope you are all enjoying a relaxing, cozy, warm weekend. Blessings to you all.

There is a Fall season in Southern California

Hi everyone,
  Just wanted to share some pictures of our "fall season" in southern California.   Coming from Oregon many years ago, I will admit that it has taken me awhile to enjoy and notice that the seasons do change here.  May not be as showy as the season changing colors back east, but I still think it is beautiful.  Enjoy.

A persimmon tree in all it's glory.

Have a wonderful Friday.
