Latest Creativity


The last room to get painted while mother was away this winter was the sewing/scrapbook room. Mother wanted it done in peach, much to Tawnya's dismay! But I think it looks swell, and the color keeps us alert while we are in the room! Mother had pictures of all her great-grand children hanging on the walls. This was a lot of nail holes to fill before painting. Sooo, I decided to minimize the holes by purchasing frames to hold many pictures. Names were put in the extra frame spaces next to their picture, and they will be adjusted as more great-grand children come along. I think the results are lovely and there won't be so many holes to fill and sand (3 instead of 12 or more) when it's time to paint again!

In Full Bloom












About this time each year, my hibiscus blooms and reminds me that spring is on the way. The flowers are smaller than those produced in the summer when the plant sits outside, but they are beautiful in color. More important though is the signal this gives to me... spring is not far off and warmer weather is coming our way!
