… my art and my life …
hello, everyone …
More crafting and creating since this season …
I painted my deck with 'oops' and craft paint.
Ethereal like so many outdoor things are …
I have to add more paint every few years …
The color wears away gradually,
leaving ghosts of rainbows as pretty as a June Bug!
I smile every time I look outside.

I gave my patio umbrella a make over.
Spray bleach, the kind you use on bathroom tile
made it as fresh as new.
Then I spent an hour painting white polkadots.
I painted these metal chairs with wood stain! It bonded
beautifully to the powder-coated surface.
I call these the petticoat pillows. My cushions were too
small for the newly stained chairs. Thrift shop gypsy
skirts came to the rescue.
With red, white, and blue petticoats I made this bunting for
Independence Day.
Busy, busy, busy … here I am making the kitchen door
at the old house, look like a gypsy wagon.
I researched Pinterest for embroidery patterns for the
decorations … I'm adding color now. I got this marvelous
wood finish by mixing craft paints with clear wax!
How did I make this cat art?
With a lot of help! I made the stencil in Photoshop.
But first I had to finish this faux brick wall!
Yes this is metal siding, embossed with brick.
I painted the wall in red tones, then went back with white paint
dipped into diatomaceous earth. The grout was detailed
with a half inch round brush.
We figure you can never have
too many flower pots!
THIS HUGE RESIN FLOWER POT … Cat approved …
was freshened up with pink, orange, ivy, tan,
and plaster white chalk paint …
Put the pink and orange colors on the raised areas and rims,
put the greenish white colors on the rest of it …
Took one hour to paint, no need to stay in the lines …
Jesse wants to trade a stick for it.
summer photo album
Harpers Ferry high terrace street …
… and saw the old town in her summer bunting. 
… and the tourists having a good time … as they do … 
Makes us smile to see such frivolity on a summer day …
We gathered our lilies, the two colors we grow, to make this photo …
… picked beautiful peas and raspberries … ate them on the spot …
We don`t ask a lot from our small plot, and are always so grateful …
A fence protects our small treats from … see the rascal?
The porch at the old house got lots of touch ups this summer …
… and strings of bells to scare away roosting pigeons …
The log room at the old house is the only room
there with an airconditioner that works quick.
Drip, drip, the air conditioners roar and drip all around town.
Do you ever plant ferns under them like we do?
Ah, cool ferns and big leaved violets make cool glades for small ones …
So we keep walking through these forests studying beauty…
… and take beauty with us into our dreams …
Time for a treat! Care to share?
T H A N K Y O U for visiting this beautiful day!
