This Week...

With the weather turning cold and his drive to be outside

Honey has been out in his garage.

He is getting things done that he has been very excited about!

Brother Ed and Nephew Casey

stopped on the way in from the airport to help

put some sheeting on the ceiling

then Honey spent every free minute...

ok

hours...

out 'puttering'

And this is what he's been doing~

He also hung a very long shelf

and will soon be moving some stuff

from the 'my garage' to 'his garage'.

His dream is becoming reality

and I am so happy for him!!!

***

I got finished with Christmas projects during the past week

and so I took the opportunity to surf etsy

and I found this place

http://www.etsy.com/shop/mamachee

I have made myself these two pair of slippers

THAT I LOVE!

The first pair I followed the directions...

The second pair I added a second bottom

so they are a little more

cushy to walk on...

The pattern came fast!

They worked up fast!

I use them a lot!

They keep my tootsies toasty!

Next I thought I'd play with some picture taking...

What I was trying to do is...

to get the lights on the Christmas tree to look

...well like light dots

It has a name,

but I can't remember it...

I followed the Pioneer Woman instructions...

and look how fun!

Fake poinsettias with red bokah...

I can almost hear

my Mom cussing me

for not getting REAL flowers...

but they are serving their purpose.

So to quiet Mom's voice in my head I went to a live plant~

Didn't the lights turn out cool!?

When I edit this one it will look really neat!
Next post I'll show you what I mean
It might surprise you how editing can change
a hum-drum picture
to a Wow picture...
I hope :)

Poor Deer...

You be the judge~

The poor little Christmas Deer that lives at our house

finds himself in this position more often than not these days...

How does it happen

that this poor deer can't seem to keep it together?!

Whhhell now ~ let me tell you

He starts out every day looking like this.

And ends every day looking like this.

Happily minding his own business,

keeping guard over the small Christmas tree

perched atop the treadle sewing machine for the season...

It happens to be one of the jobs I painted him for...

way back when water was almost new...

These day's he has another job...
Assigned by Tiny Dancer.
That job is to entertain and delight her.
And oh he does it well!
This is how the relationship started out...
(please look closely at the smile on this little imp)
What stared out as helping to put him together,
quickly turned into taking him apart...


Often.
Oh well...
Tis the Season...
And after all...
The little Deer does help keep the little Dear
Happy!
And today he learned another job...
Being a Horsey...
though he is a little hard to ride.
