"Pretend"

Pretend was the prompt, and since I really like the victorian era, this was a fun pretend! Have a great weekend.

The prompt was self portrait....YIKES!

Think Green!!!! I hope you had a very blessed day~ Hugs, Mary

For those of you who do faces, this probably would not cause you any duress, but for me it was like asking for me to jump off a bridge! I do not do faces of any kind...so here it is, be kind!!!

A wonderful gift and I made a tote today...The One That Got Away is the prompt

Arney came home from work saying, lets go to Costco. I love to go there and on the way he shared that we would be looking at Monitors for my computer....Yikes. I had the box type, it is old, but worked good. Cory my son had given me a Monitor yesterday that was a flat screen, so I was happy. But Arney wanted this big one for me, so this was what I came home with this evening. It is 24 inches, it is amazing.

I had taken out the sewing machine today and made myself a tote, and thought about making some for the girls, I think this turned out good. It is a heavy soft fabric and I really had fun making it. I had this fabric from a yard sale last year...I loved the look and feel of it but really had no idea what it might become.

It was warm sunny with a little breeze, it felt so good. If it is the same tomorrow, I will be in the back yard part of the day. happy Spring! Mary

I continue to be apart of Art journal-ing, and it has been really fun. 1960 & 1963 was a time of many changes. School was all about friends, homework, The next dance, the cars, the hair, Coca Cola, gum, clothes, the Music was apart of everything. Good parents, bad parents, freedom, babysitting, who like who and who loves you? The slang that we loved and our parents hated. And the list goes on!!!!!!! click on page to enlarge:)
