Strange things are happenin'
Well, I was going to go to bed, but I remembered that I took some pictures of this wooden cross that Bill made. So, I loaded them onto my computer and one of them has a strange light across it. I took both of these from exactly the same spot, within seconds of each other...what do you think? I cropped the second photo, but the original looked exactly like the first photo below..

Gravity again
Good afternoon friends. Had a great day with mom yesterday. We watched GRAVITY...I had already seen it at the theater, but it is fantastic as you know, it is nominated for 11 academy awards. Anyway, it is a very emotional movie and afterwards mom laughed and said "Sheila, I really didn't need all of that stress". then she said she loved it...I think she could have used a xanax or something..lol...So, Bill and I are going to display our crafts at the Country Creek Treasures in Salem, starting tomorrow. If you haven't been there, it is awesome...not your mama's craft store, new and interesting things, and some good stand bys as well. Here are a couple more things we have made, we are having fun working together on the same projects...I hope you all have a great day!

Beach fence 2
Another gorgeous day, so warm,wow! I finished a few more wood projects, my favorite again is a different beach sign. I am out of sea shells now, so guess I will have to go for a different theme...I had many bags of shells, many of them I picked up myself from the beaches we have been to, kept them for years and years...but then cleaned my craft studio up and sold them...stupid me..who knew I would need them? We ordered pizza and had some beers, it's been a good day! The wind just changed and now it's COLD again...it was a nice mini-summer while it lasted...I got my first face painting booking today for March 29th, summer's on it's way...eventually...I hope you all had a great day.

Dream bench
I finished this rustic bench today, it's supposed to be an outside bench, so didn't put too much decoration on it. The yard that no longer has snow, is, of course, nothing but mud. Slosh, slosh, slosh....lol..

Sunday day
Today has gone by so fast. We got up early
and drove to Omega to the Round Table, but we were two of the few that
ventured out on the country roads. Usually the table is packed and
others have to move to nearby tables, but we still had a nice visit with
Julie and Chuck Rose, and Dave Hanks. The roads were super icy and
several times we were floating along on the road with no steering or
brakes. Since we were out anyway, we decide to go out for our belated
Valentines Day dinner, so we had lunch at Applebee's..yum. Came home.
Took a nap. Retirement is so stressful... I hope you all had a great day.

Beautiful!
It is such a beautiful day with the sun making
all of the snow look like glitter! It's still cold though...brrrr. I
was up early and saw the moon low in the sky, so stumbled around in the
dark finding my camera and snapped a couple of pix.....out of the east
window the sun was starting to rise...such an awesome place is planet
Earth. have a great day everyone!

Red Hatters at the Gathering Place on an icy, snowy day!
Had lunch with my Red Hat sisters today, it
was a small group since it was snowing like crazy and I could barely see
to get there and the other ladies had the same problem. Let me tell
you people, the roads are terrible. There were 4 cars
off the road between Salem and Kinmundy and I don' t mean on the
shoulder or anything one of them went down an embankment and into a
tree, another one was in the middle of a corn field, the others were off
the road with their hazard lights on...so my point is...BE CAREFUL or
stay home, it's not worth it cause I love you all too much for anything
to happen to you....

Got
home from zumba a bit ago,great class. It was a beautiful day, I spent
part of it outside, it was 40 degrees...a heatwave! Stained some
furniture and enjoyed the sunshine on my face, but...alas.....we are
expecting 1 to 3 inches of snow during the night.... Don't you just love using the word, alas.... lol.

Tuesday Movie Day with mom... :)
Movie day with mom today, as always. We watched 2 really great movies:
ALL IS LOST, starring Robert Redford. His sail boat gets damaged and
sinks and he has to survive in the life boat. It is VERY suspenseful,
but worth the watch. Secondly, LAST VEGAS..very funny, but also a
heart-felt story, two thumbs up for this one! Then we had ice cream and
I went to zumba. What a great class, a nice large group too! I had a
great day, and I hope you did too!

Herb and Garden show at Mt. Vernon, IL
We
went to the Herb and Garden show today in Mt. Vernon. There were
several garden booths, but mostly it's turned into a craft fair. Lots
of people there though and I bought some delicious home made pasta
noodles, and found a craft shop that had everything for half off, so had
to donate some cash there..lol..also stopped by Donita Morris
's booth and bought an awesomely cute apron (yes, I wear aprons). and
some other great items..had lunch at Fazoli's.Even though it was cold
and gray and there is still snow everywhere, it turned out to be a
pretty good day. I hope yours was too.

The British Invasion begins.....
How well I remember this, as a freshman in high school, the beginning of the British invasion....50 years ago today they flew into New York and changed the world...my teen years were woven with constant Beatles songs...what a great time to grow up! Every time I hear a Beatles song today it reminds me of something in my teenage life: Prom, Friday night at the Drive In, slumber parties, dances after Basketball games, riding around Salem driving from Reaban's to Dairy Queen, then back again, dancing on Beer Can Alley with all of our radios tuned to KXOK... ...don't mind me, I'm just taking a trip down memory lane.....many of you were there with me...

More snow, more cooking, more rag wreaths...busy, busy, busy
Sunday, February 02, 2014
Good morning, friends! It snowed just a bit and is a very cold morning here in Illinois. Bill went to have coffee, so I am just listening to some music and having coffee until I have a better plan for the day. Here is the other rag wreath I made yesterday..they are such fun, once you get all of the fabric strips ripped up. Guess I'd better go do something constructive....like maybe have more coffee..

Saturday afternoon...
Hello friends. Boy, it's been a dark, dreary rainy day....my favorite kind of day! Bill was cutting down some dead trees and I took him some coffee and we sat and listened to oldies in the truck and watched the birds play in the rain for a while. I made this rag wreath a while back and don't think I post
