Sun bursts and dogs

 On Sunday afternoon I headed over to flippin' happy home and more decor.  It is a small shop on Washington over in Grand Forks North Dakota.  It is where Jen consigns her artwork and some of my crochet items...she was working and the shop owner was there and gave me permission to take some photos. 

This is the piece that I helped Jen paint a few days ago.  It is just beautiful! 

I will be showing photos of the shop from time to time...it is an interesting place. 

It snowed here and then turned cold.  

The sundogs were out.  Here is a photo of one sundog.  They almost always signal really cold weather.

Stay warm!

Art

 Some great art is being created here.  Jen and Andy have a outlet for whatever they make at a local shop. 

I help with painting, it is something I enjoy. 

These are two projects that went out the door earlier this week. 

I sell crochet scrubbies there and small crochet purses.  Keeping busy keeps me out of trouble. 

Someday maybe I will go over to the shop and take some photos...I will have to ask permission first.

Colorful

 Last week I showed you this photo.

Now the little colorful squares are pushed together and glued into place. 

It still needs a frame.

Coloring on wood

 I colored this small project one day.  Interesting to use colored pencils on wood. 

Well congratulations to us and to you too for making it to February! 

The weather is nice and warm, I believe it was a record breaking 48 F or  9 C eh! yesterday, more snow and ice melted. 

Far Guy is feeling a bit better. One day at a time.

Great Stuff

 The Greats visited here today after daycare/school.  They like pickles...and bananas.  Of course we have fruit snacks on hand all the time and Tootsie Roll Pop suckers for the road. 

Ree has her first tooth and has almost conquered sitting up by herself...she still has a round butt.  She is smiley and sometimes happy even though she is teething. 

I helped Jen with an art project.  It was Sadie's day at daycare....rumor has it that there are four Goldens there about her age and they keep each other running all day so she is exhausted when she gets home.   It is a day off for Little Elvis. 

Far Guy warmed up left overs for supper.  

The art project, hopefully I will get a photo of it when it is finished.  Can you guess what it is?

Wood Crafts

 Jen and Andy make some awesome woodcrafts.  Far Guy and I have been helping with the painting.  

Jen said make something out of the left over wood scraps so I did.

It can be what ever you want it to be.  I see an Angel.  Jen was not in the immediate area when I chose the shimmery turquoise paint color...she came into the room and said "Oh not the metallic paint...oh well do your own thing Mom."

The next time she showed up she thought is was very pretty. 

Here is another of my scrappy creations. 

Fun stuff makes the day go faster.
