Moving right along......

Not exactly at lightening speed, or any speed for that matter :) but moving along at least. Faux goodies are done and almost ready to pack off to my sweet friends. I think I'll have that done by Monday, well in time for my Christmas deadline. :) :) :)
Have started working on my two little mosaic projects...first I had to dig out the items I wanted to mosaic, the birdhouse and the teapot. Then I had to gather some plates to smash. If there is a design I want to save I put clear tape over it to keep it together, then I place the plate between two paper plates and slide it into a bag. Then it's wham ! bam ! with a hammer. I keep checking to remove pieces that are just the right size and keep whacking until I have the sizes and shapes I want. Then I put them into a container ... tile nippers are very handy to help you get just the right shape you want. You can also buy small tiles and bits and pieces at craft stores if you don't want to whack your own or to supplement what you have.
If all goes well I will have some progress to share on Monday's Show and Tell.
Thanks for stopping by to check on me, I so appreciate you all.
My wish for you: Even if you can't move at lightening speed may you mosey along and enjoy the journey.

Monday Monday can't trust that day......

Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way....soooo I know Monday was show and tell but truthfully I was down for the count most of the week-end. Feeling poorly I was. I am feeling much better today and am working on show and tell for next Monday....I am finishing up my faux cakes for my friends and hope to get them off...and I am working on two small mosaic projects.
So, today I am showing you pictures of Willie and Wynona waitin' for my SweetiePie to come home. Willie was asleep on the exerbike...aptly named the Cateye...when he woke up and realized Wy was at the window without him.

I truly hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was even tho I wasn't feeling too well it was still a very wonderful day.

Now I'm off to visit your blogs and see what ya'll did for Show and Tell or just to catch up on your doin's.

My wish for you: May you always have someone watching at the window waiting for you to come home.

Show and Tell...Florals To Come

Mondays seem to roll around faster and faster.....and today is Cinco de Mayo AND my SweetiePie's birthday. When we lived in San Diego he could eat at any Mexican restaurant for free. We had some fun I have to admit. So the first order of the day is to wish my SweetiePie a very very happy birthday and to say "thank-you" for sharing the last 26 of them with me and my wish is for many, many more to be shared together.
For some time I have had a "Floral" category planned for the web shop. It has just been sitting on the back burner (along with a lot of other things so it's had good company) but I think if I show you a peek it might get me moving. So, my show and tell is to show you a few of the florals and then tell you that I hope to have that category up sooooon. :) :) :) The top two are already on the web shop, just in different categories and the beautiful rose wreath I have in light pink and white as well. I'm planning on re-arranging the web shop categories....umm, well ... sometime :)

My wish for you: May you spend all your happy birthdays with someone you love.

Just Faux Fun

Should I
apologize for the bad pun? I will if I need too.....but I did manage to finish the cupcakes ! I hope my two buddies will like them. As for the little heart cakes, I'm trying to decide how to decorate them, just in the "playing" stages now. Do you like the clay or the silk flowers better? I know which way I'm leaning but I surely do respect your opinions!
And...oh my ! I got tagged by one of my buddies and since I'm low on material today I'm gonna go right ahead and bore ya'll (if you bother to read on LOL ) so here goes:
1. Name 2 scrapbook topics I would like to do: 1) family 2) Willie and Wy kitties
2. Name the 2 best places I have ever been to: 1) Spain 2) Gibralter
3. Name 2 things I do every day: Give thanks for my blessings, love my SweetiePie.
4. Name 2 things everyone pretty much already knows about me: 1) I have ADD 2) I'd rather do it myself :).
5. Name 2 places I wish to visit: 1) Scotland 2) Australia.
6. Name 2 things you may not know about me: 1) I am vertically challenged 2) I love pineapple
7. Name 2 nicknames you have had in your life: 1. Cissie . Red
8. Name 2 interesting jobs I have had in my life: 1) Nuclear marine mechanic 2) Union office manager.

10. Name 2 things I would like to learn: 1) another language 2) how to weld.
11. What are the last two things I have downloaded or CD bought: 1). ohh I bought a Los Lonely Boys and Willie CD's.
12. What are 2 TV shows or movies from childhood I still enjoy watching after all these years. This is difficult because most of my childhood was spent overseas...oh it was fun watching Bonanza in Spanish...but when we were at Aunties we always watched Perry Mason, I don't think they show any of the others we watched. Geee I'm ollllld.

My wish for you: May you visit the places you want to visit and learn the things you want to learn and may your childhood memories be good ones.

Show and Tell Monday....how'd it get here so fast?

Oh my, seems like yesterday it was show and tell...of course it was Tuesday before I got my Monday pictures up. But here it is Monday and I do have some to share! I mentioned I was

making some faux cakes for two of my friends and here is the start. Well, the chocolate cake slice I have to confess was made several years ago. They won't get chocolate cake unless they want it...otherwise it will be white, pink, hopefully some lovely pale aqua and maybe a sweet pastel yellow for some of the petit fours.
I am winging this so even I don't know yet. What I have so far are some small iced hearts and some square petit fours. Oh, and the first polymer clay roses I've ever made. I think I'll get better as I go along...I hope so anyway :) I plan on making a lot of the roses. I hope I'll have them finished by next Monday and will share some more photos then.
Oh, and just so my friends aren't too disappointed I'll be sending them some faux tarts and cookies that I did NOT make.

Now I'm off to see what everyone else has been up to. My wish for you: May your cake be delicious on your lips and the calories slide right off your hips !
