In Memory - LBR

Love Bug Rachael crossed the Rainbow Bridge tonite. At best guess she was around 18 years old. This photo had been taken earlier today with her Mom Judy. She will leave a big scottie shaped hole in her heart. Run LBR. Run swiftly little girl.

She thinks......"character lives large in small"

She paints....this is a little 5" x 4.75" tiny but bold painting. I fell in love with it. The colors are so crisp and bold. She likes scissors. No ... she LOVES scissors and has an afinity for vintage fabrics, notions, trinkets and papers.

Joonbeam loves bits and pieces, odd & ends and little snippets. She creates from all the leftovers that she finds and stashes away until the day her mind has an idea and a use for them.

She lives and creates in Massachusettes along with her talented family. Stop by and visit her shop "Joonbeam...recycled art with heart". http://joonbeam.etsy.com/ You'll be awhile as you wander through and see what her talent has lent itelf to. Oh yeah....stop by her website www.joonbeam.com and read her blog. Get some insight into the person behind the talent.

Good Moooornnning World!


The cold weather has gone....for the day...40 degrees today and back down to about 5 degrees again tomorrow. That's okay. I have work to do and a whole passle of new creative friends to share with. It's official....I am now a Backyard Boomer! Or a Boomer blogger! They all make such lovely things. Look for them here in the future as I will definitely want you to see what they are offering.
But today I also have some more good news that has nothing to do with Etsy although Karrie does have an etsy shop here.
Karrie has adopted another horse that she helped rescue from certain death in December. Rez was part of a rescue effort she took part in. He is such a beauty isn't he? I have a soft spot for rescue. I hate it when any animal is mistreated and love to see happy endings like this. Now....who will be the first boomer to comment? I'll feature you in tomorrow's blog!

Another Day....

It's always a blessing when you open your eyes and realize you have awoken to another day. Now it is almost over...but I'm thankful for all that it gave me in those hours since I awoke. I made new friends on an Etsy group called the Boomers. They all sound like they would be great fun if you could get them in a room together. But then again....isn't that what the Internet allows us to do? I finished a half dozen crayon aprons. How I wish I had one of the grandchildren close so they could model them for me. They are in bright colors like little kids love. We also got our weekly staple shopping done. Once again cleared the driveway of snow as well as the deck. The temps are rising and may get above freezing tomorrow. We spent time with friends yesterday and now it is time for hubby and I to enjoy our weekly date. Popcorn and Iron Chef America! Even the Scotties will be there awaiting their fair share . Tomorrow I hope to do some photos to replace some that I am not happy with on Etsy and do some work with my Flickr account.
Oh....Did I tell you the lovely green and white baby quilt sold within a few hours of my listing it? It was a favorite of mine. Just something about the colors and the textures. Time to go. God Bless you all!

Dang! More to learn!

I don't know just how much more this old brain can wrap itself around but I just set up a Flickr account. http://flickr.com/photos/scottieacres/ So much stuff to figure out. I think I was born to early for all these technical computer things. Gonna take me awhile to get all the photos uploaded seein' as I'm sewing and uploading to Etsy just about every day. Another dang thing they say I should learn is how to set up an Etsy mini. I'm still learnin' how ta take a picture! It will get done. For now I am going to bid you all a good night and go see how much new snow we have. Then I'm gonna get some shut eye.
