Busy...Busy...Busy.....

The past week or so has been chalk full of doings and happenings. That's how my grandmother would have described it anyhow :0) 
Last weekend the granddaughters came to stay for 3 days. We always have a great time when they are here. 
We shopped a little...
Tried on really crazy shoes...


Baked doggie treats...sorry no pictures there...
played in the sand...

and made Art Journals for the girls...

We were having so much fun that I kept forgetting to take pictures. Even of the journals. I had to have their mother take their picture with them at home and send them to me. 

The rest of the week I had to work the closing shift at work so all I had time for was working on my winter hats projects....I'm hoping to get 50 made by the end of October :0) They will be donated to a couple of different charity programs then. 17 down and counting :0) 
So only one art project was completed this week and that was for a a challenge ...
creating with your non-dominate hand.
I love these challenges! Makes us think outside of the box and try things we may never have tried without the challenge :0) 
All in all it was a good week....now to catch up on all of the house work that didn't get done during the week.

  2. Cute granddaughters. I have to settle for great-nieces but I know how much I enjoy having them visit.

    A friend knitted me a hat similar to the ones you are doing last winter. I wore it when I lost my hair to chemo. Knitting is another skill I have tried and simlpy gave up on learning. I do not have the patience for such detailed handwork.

  5. Beautiful little ladies. The shoes are really odd. I hope they don't become the latest trend. Love the painting.
