I've Been Tagged! :)

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I really hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I know it is the middle of the week but I feel I am only getting started :)

Anyway, to get us started today I thought I would share this photo with you :)

I like to call this "Skunk in a Snow Storm" (He! He!) Yep, they still seem to be wondering around the neighbourhood!  Oh, the smell of Skunk as we drive on one road not far from our house is, well, let's say NOT aromatic!!!

Well Last Week my Blogger Buddy Annette (Thanks Girlfriend :) at So Many Memories Blog tagged me to answer eight questions. It seemed like a good idea, so I hope you guys enjoy reading a little about me :)

  

Here are Annette's questions!

1. If you could have one super power, what would it be and how would you use it?


To make people that piss me off disappear (is that a super power of just wishful thinking :)


2. If you could become any character in a book or movie, who would you become and why?


Gotta be Scarlett O’Hara! What a spoilt life and she was truly loved and even thru the hard times still has a tenacity and perseverance that was phenomenal.


3. What was your favorite AND least favorite subject in school?


Fav would be art, least fav. Religious instruction.


4. What would be your dream job?


Airline pilot (can I fly, no, it is on my "TO DO" list, but this is a DREAM right  :)


5. What is one new thing you would like to learn?


Spanish


6. If your life became a reality show, would it be a comedy or a drama?


Absolutely both! :)


7. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate?


Milk definitely, my Hubby loves dark chocolate and I don’t get it at all, yuck!


8. What is your favorite way to relax or de-stress?


A glass of wine, an amazing meal, a lovely sunset and putting my feet up :)




After answering the questions, I am to tag eight people to answer eight questions that I make up but I thought it might be a giggle to have everyone who wants to participate to answer as many or as few questions as they like :)

Leave your answers in a comment. I look forward to reading a little about you all :)


My Questions;


1). When you get frustrated with the planet and things just keep going wrong, what do you do?


2). What is your best accomplishment?


3). If you could be a toy what would it be and why?


4). What is your fav. Childhood candy?


5). If you knew you only had one month to live what would be the 3 things you would want to do?


6). If you could live anywhere, where would that be and why?


7). What makes you Happy?


8). What was your Fav. Halloween?

I hope you like these questions, some a little serious, maybe, and others just for fun. :) Don't feel like youhave to answer all :)

Also, I wanted to share this lovely Treasury so many gorgeous orange, they need another treasury By NikkoBlue Jewelry she included my little Baby Soft Orange Hande knitted Scarf, that was so sweet of her, if you get a min. could you C. & C. thanks :)

Happy Monday to Everyone :)


Today I woke up to an email saying I was in another Treasury! YAY! This is such a pretty one, lots of Flowers, you know how I love my Flowers :) The Art of Flowers By Victoria English Charm She added my Lovely Pink Peony to the Treasury, thank you so much :)


I wanted to share with you another project I am working on (yep, apart from the Artwork and the Photography) Although, I have to tell you I started this quilt top, oh a long time ago, possible 6 years ago and it got buried in the piles of fabric in my sewing room. Recently, I have been going thru my fabrics for a Garage Sale and I found this project sitting there just waiting patiently for me to give it some loving attention. So, over the next few weeks I have set myself the challenge to at least finish the quilt top.


I think I bought fabric to make a Queen size quilt (but it is so long ago that I do not quite remember) 63 squares needed plus the borders, wish me luck :)



Fabrics I am using.

Pattern book I am using :)

How the quilt squares will lay out tog :)

Need 32 of the Star block (have 10 right now)

Then 31 of the chain block

That is what I will be working on over the next few weeks. What are you working on? I would love to see :) Post a link in the comments and let's share some fun and support :)

I'm in a Treasury and Closing Shop!

Happy Thursday :)

A couple of things today to share with you all.

First I have a piece of artwork in a Treasury, "Pink Splash". Thanks to Sagescupboard for adding my work to this incredibly "PINK" Treasury go check it out HERE There are some beautiful pink items to see :)

On another note, I have decided to close down my Vintage Etsy Shop :(

Even though it is the most profitable one of my stores, I really do not have the time to juggle 4 Etsy shops and do them all Justice. It is a tough decision but I want to concentrate more on my Art and my Photography, a girl just can't do it all.

So, what I thought would be fun was to have a "NAME YOUR OWN PRICE" Sale :)

If you are interesting in any of the items in my Vintage Shop, just convo me and make me an offer :)

Here are a few of the items in my Vintage Shop still waiting to go to new homes.

There are plenty more so please go check them out at Vintage T. and make an offer :)

Don't forget to enter the chance to win one of Sherri Pekks wonderful Art Card in this week's Giveaway on my Blog, check out details and interview HERE :)

Hope you all have a Wonderful Day!
