C = Cat or Who Wears The Pants In This Family? And My Tribute to Our Veteran

It's quite obvious, I think, who wears the pants in this family! Why, Henry V of course!

Happy animal Wednesday

Have a wonderful day!

And a Veterans Day tribute to my dear beloved Uncle Harry, now 90, who served in

the South Pacific during WWII.

Happy Cactus Monday & Sketchbook Art

A page from my evening sketchbook drawing...

This is cheating maybe? This is the back side of the sewn piece I shared last Cactus Monday. But I thought the back nice too. ;-) I hope your week is starting well. I had a busy busy Sunday finishing up loose ends for the art show which will be this coming Friday night:Putting wire on four canvas's for hanging; printing stories for backs of wall hanging art, sewing or gluing them in place; making a fabric cover for a Comments and Reactions Book!

Guesso-ing more pages in the journals I hope to make in the coming weeks.

Finishing the final stitches on a 8" X 12" piece for Quilts Around The World Challenge!

Talked on facebook Live Chat with Andrea, who is in Germany visiting her parents! Now that is fun. Talked to Cris in Oregon via on going emails.

Why do I suddenly feel tired? (Sunday evening)

Z = Zip-a-dee-doo-dah; Sketchbook page, Gesso, & Hint of new Projects

Time for "Z" the final letter in our ABC ATC Blog swap for the year. My Z= Zip-a-dee-doo-dah goes out to Lisa in Indiana. Two Z, zippy words in this song from my childhood. And a blue bird on her shoulder! Sketchbook page while recouping from my tooth ordeal that wasn't such an ordeal after all!
I found myself doing more sketchbook pages last night thinking of Patty wanting them, funny, that gave me more inspiration...spurred me on to drawing more.Starting two new projects:
1. Using Gesso to cover pages in a children's hard page books for turning into journal pages later





and 2. a hint of the quiltlet I made (it's about done) for the
Quilts Around The World Group
due to be posted end of December.
I'm using hand painted muslin, and velvet from Chris in Wisconsin's
Dyed Candy ETSY shop.
Today I did a ton of felting at the machine
and top sewing at my other machine.
I'm definitely back in the saddle again.




I also tried to upload unsuccessfully another Don Edwards video
a more recent one of his singing the Coyote Song.
He looks and sounds wonderful on this UTube video.
I couldn't do it here but I did get it up on Facebook so go there if interested.

Blessed Sunday to all and to all a good morning/night.

Flowers From Patty: The Day After

First my apologies to all whom I grossed out yesterday with my photo of my bloody tooth!
Sorry if I offended any ones sensibilities or upset your tummies.

Today I am feeling fine. Well the upper right quadrant of my mouth ABOVE the area that was operated on hurts. But the area where they pulled the tooth does not, nearly as much. A tad sore is all.

I am ready to get back to my felting, and gessoing for my next art projects several of which I have in mind.

I wish you all a lovely weekend. And thank you very very much for your concern about my health!

These are some of the bouquet of flowers Patty came with yesterday. She always brings me flowers! And she came with other gifts as well. Wonderful Chanukah decorations and candles for me and my grand kids. We are ready! And a beautiful Jewish cookbook! Thanks Patty for your gifts and tender loving care. You really help me through these small hurdles in my life. ;-) What would I do without you?

I have to share too what Patty asked me for because it touched my heart in such a huge way. She asked me that if I predeceased her if she could have my sketchbooks. Can you believe that? What a compliment. I still can't believe anyone would want them.
