Natural Sculpture

Observing, seeing, contemplating...soaking in the beauty all around me.

Landscape on the North Shore

I enjoy going to the North Shore and discovering something new, either a destination or the ever changing landscape.  I noticed a sign for a byway that I have missed possibly a dozen times in the past and of course we had to see what treasure was down there. We found this beautiful construction surrounded by green and blue hues on the quiet of a back road.

We call it Seagull Island...

Walking to the beach...

Fog rolling out...

A loon!

A Bridge Less Traveled

We were on our way to our favorite vacation spot and the van broke down, so we experienced a staycation for a couple days while it was repaired. The kids were looking at a Lego creation book and a spark began to grow within me. Why not build something from my imagination! I didn't have Legos when I grew up or even knew about this type of creative building back then.  My experience with Legos began with my children, constructing kits. Which I found out quickly, that I really enjoy putting together all these tiny pieces, especially with them!
I decided to create a bridge with whatever extra Legos we had. Not too far into the project, I ran out of gray...then brown and all the other colors. Therefore the road ended on either side, abrubtly. Enzo gave me some pointers along the way too.  For example, the water had to include white and the lines on the road needed to be evenly spaced.  All in all it was a fun adventure in Lego land!

Texture and Form

A Bit of Sunshine

Before & After

There is a story with many of the items that are acquired...this chair belonged to a dear friend and were used during all their gatherings (maybe she'll continue the story!)  She added four of these chairs to a garage sale and they didn't sell, even the donation truck wouldn't take them. I thought to give them a new life and here is the first one!

Our vegetable garden has been growing each year and since it had been created, I wanted to put a wire fence around it.  The fencing is quite expensive, so I thought to buy a section at a time.  Well, the universe spoke to me as I stumbled upon some white fencing at a garage sale (for free!).  Painted a cherry red, they pop against the green foliage.

Manes of a Different Color

Sew Much Fun!

There has been quite a few rainy days spent in the "cave" reading books.

~.~

  Along the way, a request for a caveman costume to go with the cave.  Fleece is so easy to work with, that it can be sewn in a very short time without needing to hem!

...and for me going back to some sewing projects that were collected and patiently waiting to be realized.

A re-purposed garment made into a skirt. I love the image and when I saw it, I wanted to make it into something I could use. I thought of either a skirt or bag...now it's a skirt and it may turn into a bag in the future!

A satchel and small bag inside to put all the little things.

And what began it all, a couple of skirts that are a work in progress, waiting for the lining and zippers.
