Frida Boxes and Fur Baby

Our little grand pup is growing quickly!

Gus loves this little patch of grass we
have in the backyard for our tortoise. 

It's the softest and coolest place to lay.
No wonder he gravitates there
every time he visits. 

Our son-in-law is in the middle
of a 2 month long chemo treatment. 

Every opportunity to help the kids out
during this tough season of life is a blessing. 


This is one of my two Frida 
shadow boxes. 

The yellow background on this
one is an easy way to tell the two apart. 

(Just a little side note, there's a glare
in this picture that isn't in the actual piece.
These are hard pieces to get good pictures.)


This one has loteria cards
on the side. 


 This is the second one. 


It's sides are painted with gems added here and there. 



I've left a spot in front of each to
place some tea light flameless candles. 

It'll help to light up the inside. 

Personally, I don't think pictures
do them justice. 

I love the way they look in person if
I do say so myself. 

Hoping you're having a wonderful 
week and all is well with your soul!

Grand-pup and Painting

In a mother's heart there's a desire to nurture and care 
for little ones that never goes away. 

At least I can speak for myself, and don't
think I'm alone. 

Many of my empty nester friends have gotten
pets at this stage in life. 

That need to "mother" always has
a place in our hearts even when our
kids are grown and gone from the house.

These were my thoughts as I painted 
this week's painting. 


This past week I've been dog
sitting for the little white pup in
the next picture. His name is Finley
and he's a sweetie. 

The little black cutie is my new
"Grand-dog" Gus. 

He's only 8 weeks old. 

He's the most adorable little Berniedoodle. 


Here he is after sniffing around in
some mesquite leaves. 

He's the sweetest puppy ever! 

I just love him. 


Growing up, I had an Aunt that
was a golden retriever breeder.

I have the fondest memories of going
over to her house to play with all the puppies. 

Finley's heading back to his home tomorrow.

He'll be missed, but I'm really looking forward
to my future visits with Gus. 

Hoping you're having a wonderful
week so far. 

Warmest regards,

Terri
