Sunflower Signs

Spent yesterday painting signs for the bridal shower. The centers are chalkboard paint so they can add “turn left” or other directions as needed.

Kat Sloma has added a new batch of decorated envelopes on her blog. Take a peek, you will see one you recognize.  I am so in awe of all the talent being shared. Only one week to go, and then the swap begins. So excited!

Happy weekend everyone!

 

 

 

Out On A Ledge

Still working on how to share the videos with  you. The files are huge and even compressed, they are bigger than allowed by WordPress. Here is an almost video. These two were not around until just as the sun was going down. They stood on the Jacuzzi ledge for about ten minutes, preening.

Today was warm, and I thought maybe they were cooling their feet in the waterfall. But Google let me know that ducks’ feet have no nerves or blood vessels. So they never feel the cold, even if they swim in icy water.

 

 

 

Little Bird W.I.P.

There is my little yellow bird painting in progress, and here is a little bird peeking in the window. I was making lunch when I heard a noise, but it took him knocking a few more times before I figured out where it was coming from.

I ran to grab my camera and I pulled out a chair to sit right where he was tapping on the window. I managed these quick shots before he took off. He came back, just as I finished eating, and I sat down to try again. But no luck. He was just too quick.

He teased me once more before I left the room. Seemed he was in a big hurry. Just a little flighty. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Maybe he was trying to invite his twin to a party!
