Cats and Skulls and Magnets, Oh My!

The past weekend was so much fun! 

My daughter and son-in-law
took their "mom's" out for an early
 surprise Mother's Day celebration. 

(It's so nice being good friends
with my daughter's mother-in-law.)

The four of us went to the 
English Rose Tea Room
in Carefree Arizona. 

It was just perfect. 

Being a tea drinker myself I had
to up my game the following morning
and forgo my usual mug for Grandma's 
porcelain tea set. 

While it wasn't quite as delicious without
the real cream and lump of sugar,
it extended the delightful memory just the same. 

If you ever happen to be in the 
area, it's a wonderful place to visit.

Moving on now to my 
art creations of this past week. 

Here's a pic of my purple kitty plaque, . . .


. . . . my new skull plaque, . . . 


. .  .  and some fun little art magnets. 

These little guys are all painted on 2"x 2" pieces of wood. 




I decided to make some one of a kind 
mini artwork magnets as well. 

This little kitty is one of those. 




So much fun! 

Hope you have a wonderful week. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Cows, Cats, and Life's Rollercoaster

Last week was a crazy one of
highs and lows. 

One day it was remembering a dear friend's brother
at a memorial service. 

The next day it was celebrating our 
daughter's 29th birthday. 

The day after that, another dear friend called to say 
her Dad is in his last days. 

Through it all, God is 
faithful and His presence has been evident. 

Needless to say, I apologize for not
having a chance to catch up on all
the wonderful blogs I follow. 

Hopefully this week will be a little
less eventful.

To start with, I'll share the cow
painting that I'm working on. 

I'm kind a stuck for a bit here and
am in the pondering stage. . . 


Meanwhile I thought I'd take a fun
little detour and paint this little gal. 


While I was at it, I saw this one waiting
to be finished and took care of it too. 


My goal for this week is to finish up
on the cow painting, and start
on the bunny hutch I have sitting
in the middle of my kitchen floor! 

Fortunately, it's only been there since Saturday. 

Hope you have a wonderful week. 

Thanks for stopping by.
