Lots of colour

I seem to be spending more time crocheting than anything else these days. I also do a lot of reading. I love cozy mysteries best. But here are some of the things I've been making.

Things I've been playing with 2015.

The first one is called Beacon of Light from Life Book 2015, the 2nd is a journal cover for Documented Journal Project, and the 3rd is a canvas for a swap. Thanks for dropping by.

Happy New Year everyone.  Well my art room is almost back to normal...well it's normal mess.  I have started a junk journal, a canvas and a tag.  I'm on a group called Twenty Wishes and I'm making a 20 wishes journal for my pen pal in California.   I hope she likes it.   I will have to post pictures later when I figure out how to do it on my new computer.  My new computer won't allow me into this blog...so until I figure out what's going on, I will continue to post here.  But, my pictures are on the other computer.  hahaha   I sure get myself into computer messes.  Please come back again. 

Here it is December 26th, 2014.  Doesn't look like I'm much of a blogger.  Christmas is over.  I'm happy and sad at the sametime for this holiday.   So much work, cooking and making it a special day and then it's over.  Christmas really is all about the birth of Christ not the commerical frills and trappings. 

I haven't done any art since I came home from Ireland.  Hoping to start next year and figure out just what I want to do. 

Back from Ireland

Well I'm back from Ireland after being away for 18 months. I still have to unpack my art supplies and get back in the grove.

Today is 1 November 2013. 10 months into my mission in Ireland and 8 months to go. I hope to get back to my art when I get home next July. Then I should be back painting and playing with my papers, glue and inks. Thanks for stopping by.

I keep busy

When I'm not doing missionary work I keep busy. I miss my art supplies and I haven't found much of anything here that I want to work with. I miss all the Graphic 45 papers I have at home and all my dies and embossing folders. Ah..well time is going quickly and I will soon be home. I will miss the work here. The people are great and so need the gospel in their lives. What blessing they will get if they would open their hearts to Jesus Christ. So I decided to take up knitting or crocheting when I'm not serving in my calling. Here is some of things I've been doing. I have 3 more scarves to make then I'm done with scarves. I have to finish the vest and the afghan and then I don't know what I will tackle next. I hope you enjoy these pictures of how I spend my nights. Thanks for stopping by.

The sun sets on Galway Bay

Count yourself lucky when you see the sun go down on Galway Bay. What a beautiful sight. The weather here has 4 seasons...rain, rain, rain, and rain. The wind is very strong coming off the Atlantic and makes 12c feel like minus 2c. We have been lucky since we got here and we have had sun. Coming to Ireland, bring your woolies.

Missionaries are treated like heroes here. We don't like to be put at the center of attraction, but these people love to feed you. We have loved to dine in the local restaurants because I love seafood. So here is some dishes we have enjoyed.
