Love on Wednesday

http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/
Colorado Lady is hosting Love on Wednesdays every week in February, this being the month of love and all that. Click on her link to see who else is sharin' the love.

I don't beleive there is a truer love than the love between this Brother and Sister. Meet Connor my little redheaded Bath Room statue designer...lol and his little blondheaded horse loving Sister. Connor or Red as we call him is 4 yrs older than Morgan (Moo-Moo) and he has never failed to show how much he loves her. No matter where they go or what they do he is going to look out after his sister. He couldn't stop kissing on her when he was little and never a jealous bone in his body where she was concerned she always came first in his mine. You buy him anything, you'd better have something for her or he'd tell you about it...lol

Here he is when she was 3 weeks old.

He was 7 and she was 3, but you mention a picture he had to find her to get his picture made with her..

He had to protect her...lol...notice his arm...and her hand...

He is now 11 and she is 7, but they still share that strong bond and love. When they first started to Church at their new Church, they attented Bible School and the ladies that where their teachers couldn't help but laugh, they of course where in differnt classes and when the classes passed each other in the hall he'd wave and she'd have that big Morgan grin and wave back, they would greet each other like they hadn't seen each other in a week. I hope he will always be there to protect her.

Sorry this is late had some unexpected problems this morning.

Be still my beating heart

I'm in love

Most of you that have read my VTT posts have come to realize I am totally, completely in love with Hall's collecting. Be it teapots, coffee pots, glove mold, bowls, plate, etc. etc.....

A couple of weeks ago I showed you a large bowl that I inherited from my MIL 20 yrs ago, in the Morning Glory pattern. It was well loved and had been well used. My dear MIL always used it to serve her butter beans, peas or other types of beans in. The kids simply called it the bean bowl. She had used it for years....she had no idea it was a collectable. Well this morning I was trolling Ebay in search of a bowl I needed to complete a set of stack bowls in the White rose pattern. I have the two smaller ones, anyhow can you imagine my heart stopping, excitement when I spied these beauties...I am totally in love and trying to justify to myself, the need to purchase these.

This is a very rare set indeed, usually you fine 1...2...or 3 peices together but RARELY do you find the whole 5 peice set in this condition. Now in a different time, say 6 mos. ago I wouldn't hesitate to bid, but well money is tight and Lord only knows what lies ahead. So I am torn,

Right now they are at $167.50 + shipping of $27.00.

I could call in all favors and Mother's Day is right around the corner...lol...we'll see.

Check them out........

The Simple Woman's Day Book

FOR TODAY Monday 2-24-2009Outside my window...
Today I look out with sleepy eyes over the pasture at a beautiful newborn calf laying beside it’s Momma, the sky is clear blue, the temp is a crisp cool 52 degrees. Birds are darting back and forth to the different feeders.

I am thinking...I just love when our old friend comes by to visit and spend the night, on his way to his childhood home in, Donaldsonville, LA., just hate that we set up all night talking. Now I’m so sleepy. And got to go to town and take care of business, and can‘t go back to bed..

I am thankful for. Life long friends and time spent with them.

From the kitchen...for breakfast it hot coffee and fresh bread with canned figs, for supper not sure have a lot to do today, might go to Cracker Barrel tonight. Or have home made spaghetti sauce put in freezer for such a time. Cook a little spaghetti and sweet tea with fresh bread baked this morning…we’ll see.

I am wearing….navy blue sweats, light blue baggy fleece pull over and socks

I am going…to town to take care of some personal business at the Bank and Court House.
Then maybe a quick trip to the local Thrift Store they put new stuff out on Monday.

I am creating...I am still working on my red work quilt squares, like 1 and I‘m through, then have to start putting them together. Working on candle holders and candy dishes for Easter gifts., And have started painting my chair, got part of the top scene painted, but had to quit for awhile.

I am reading...All the interesting blogs of my new friends

I am hoping...That my Hubby's Family's Estate business gets settled soon, I’m tried of fooling with it. It’s times like this when a persons true nature comes out. How sad that 3 Brothers can be so different.

I am hearing...Fox News on TV, and my Hubby and the old Coon-ass talking ninety miles an hour.

Around the house...clothes need washing, floors need sweeping and dishes need washing, but they might have to wait till tomorrow…NOT…

One of my favorite things...visiting with old friends and laughing over past memories of our kids growing up together.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Taking care of Business in town today, tomorrow going to Jackson with Hubby for his Drs appointment. Don’t know for the rest of the week, we’ll just be surprised…..

Here is picture thought I am sharing
About 6 mos ago my 11 yr old Grandson was told to take his shower. His daddy walked in the bathroom to make sure he was in the shower, he likes to play alot, most boys do...lol...this is what he saw when he walked in the door. He'd taken his clothes off and had laid them out like this...lol..the boy ain't right...lol...


Hope you have a great day. don't forget to check out the other daybooks for today.

Blue Monday

Hi y'all it's Blue Monday again, I so love Blue Monday, since blue is my favorite color. I'd like to show you today some paintings that I have done with blue in them...

This is a 11" x 14" canvas, of a little lady and her Chickens on the Farm, one of my favorite subjects. I enjoyed painting this one.

This is an 8" x10" canvas of my Great Nephew I did for his Granny, to give his Momma for her Birthday

this is another 11" x 14" canvas painting of a figurine that I found at Hobby Lobby, I sketched it off and painted it. My Neightbor bought it for her Grandson for Christmas, to go in his western decorated Bedroom. So I gave him the figurine to go with it.

This is an 11" x 14" canvas of a picture I found in a book. I just love Santas and him holding Rabbits just stole my heart. This was suppose to be for me, but I got talked into selling it.

I painted this Santa and Rooster on an 12" x 12" canvas, did I mention next to Roosters I love Santas best of all....lol...I'm just a kid at heart.

This is a 10" x 10" canvas that I used a pattern by Trish McMurry to paint.

I hope you enjoyed these blue items today.

Please be sure and check out http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ for more Blue Monday pictures.

Candle sticks and cut glass bowls make me very happy

Friday morning before I left for my suppose to be Drs. appointment, I check out The Pickled Pepper Patch along with some of my other favorite blogs, anyhow I was just smitted by the Under 5- project she was showing...... check it out at .http://charsethman.blogspot.com/2009/02/5-under-friday.html

So when we found out I didn't have an appointment after all...we went to a couple of thrift shops before going to McComb to eat, didn't find much in Tylertown, so we headed to McComb. I decided to check out the Outreach Ministries in McComb and they had everything in the store 1/2 off. Yeaaaa my kind of sale. I found several glass plates and a pair of glass candle sticks and a brass candle stick

I used one of the candle sticks and glued this little bread and butter plate on top. I paid $.50 for the pair of candles sticks and $3 for the plate. It was a little more than I really wanted to pay, but I really wanted it. And it still only cost $3.25 to make, and it is big enough to serve cookies or brownies or fudge on.

The first one was .49. And the other 2 cost .25 cents.

The tall candle stick cost .50.

This is just a couple of ideas I'm thinking about, haven't glued them yet. Need to pick up a couple of candles and I have plenty of ribbon, just need to decide color of candle.

My next major project is to redo my chest of drawers. Some one spilled something on it when I was laid up from my knee surgeries. And I didn't know it. This is in the spare bed room and I didn't come in here for a few months. what ever it was messed up my new paint job. I wasn't aware of much back then but my pain...and those 3 times a day drips. Thank the good Lord that time has passed. I'm thinking about painting it black with a natural top?????
