Glad tidings. We've a beautiful morning here in Vermont; the air has just a touch of coolness but the sun is shining brightly and warming the earth quickly. I'm sitting here at my desk in front of the window overlooking the gorgeous fields of freshly mown hay across the road ...gosh how I love the site of a freshly mown field...it's truly one of my very favorite things.
On this lovely summer weekend (okay..it's not "officially" Summer until Tuesday) I've been working on my third offering in my "Winter/Christmas" Series...I've even been watching Scrooge (several versions actually) to keep myself in a snowy frame of mind. I had hoped to be a bit farther along than I am at this point but, family life intervened. My niece Cristen, who's baby shower we just had this past weekend went into pre-term labor on Tuesday! Last week was a stressful, crazy busy week of running back and forth to the hospital each day (which is 2 hrs from here) with my sister. Cristen is home now (she came home Friday evening) and on bed rest and we are hoping baby Zekus holds off just a bit longer before he decides to make his appearance.
After a good night's sleep and a much needed tidying of the house...I got back into the studio yesterday afternoon. This "Winter" offering is going to be something different for me...something I came up with back in February but of course, am just now getting a chance to try. I am praying it comes together as I have envisioned or at least something fairly close. As usual, while I am making something new I always think of so many different ways I could of or should of done something! I'm sticking with my original idea on this one......and we shall see what happens :)
These photo's show the supplies that I plan on using .......aren't they just beautiful!
I'm off now to continue my snowy creating. Wishing you a most wonderful day.

6 delightful friends dropped in for a visit:
A person after my own heart. I love the Christmas holidays and although I savor every day I wake up ~ my favorite time of year will soon be upon us. I cannot wait to see what this becomes ~ no doubt it will be spectacular ~ as everything you create is magnificent. Have a glorious day and Cristen is in my prayers. God will take care of the rest. :)) Love and hugs to you. Marilyn
Oh - a winter offering. Love the glimps - sure it´ll be a wonderful creation. Didn´t you forgot Halloween? ;o)
Working on my fall creations - wish I was so much ahead as you.
Have a wonderful day Doreen.
