This is my newest photo prop. I am so excited. I cannot wait to use it for my PRINCE/PRINCESS Shoot. It was dark brown wood. I painted it white and then used rub and buff gold leaf on it.  LOVE the way it turned out. Thank You to my friend, ahappyvalentine,

Today, my husband and I went to a couple of yard sales. I found several nice things. Above is a 16 inch globe on a vintage mic stand that I found a couple of weeks ago along with the globe on the bed in the middle.

This picture is a close-up shot of the 10th globe in our collection.

 

About a month ago my daughter and I worked on a guest room at my sons house. I really should say that my daughter did most of the work.

This was number 8.

Above is number 12 that was added to the family just today. Number 11 is not picture but is a 5-6 inch globe with a pencil sharpener built into the base.

Yesterday I was blessed to work with Courtney. She modeled two of my wedding dresses. This one has a tinge of Alabama orange clay that was in the water. I have soaked the dress and am pretty sure it may go through a dye process to another color. Don't you think red would be an awesome color. Yes, she was in the creek with this dress. The other pictures are just as fun.

This is the cute little head piece for a flowergirl in an upcoming wedding. I thought I would post a quick picture because I was trying to describe it to a friend yesterday.

 

Two weeks ago I shot this awesome image in a local cave with special granted permission from the landowner. It took two hours to set and get this one image. Today, I get to go back and take a model who will have on one of my wedding dress props. After all, I should be using theses dresses if I am going to take the time and energy to store them.

Good Morning!  I did get some things done yesterday. Sorted, weeded, and moved out some of my clothes after I made the bed. I picked some of the last of our blueberries and put two quarts in the freezer. The birds and squirrels just love the berries. They can tell there seems to be fewer and fewer. The fight more and more now that they are almost gone. I pulled all on my sewing items and cloth together into one pile. I decided how to finish the little flowergirl's head piece. The bride loves it. My kitchen is clean. After a full day of accomplishments, I rewarded myself with a very small edit on the rodeo pictures.

Double Stars

Something is Coming

Turning the Other Cheek.

This is my favorite so far. The unity of movement in the horses step and the color of the hats sandwiches all the differences in between. The shirts are different colors and styles as well as the horses color. Even the ropee has contrasted colors.

OFF TO MY ERRANDS  Happy Day!

 

Let me see!  My mind is all over the place which is normal.  I am a morning person so that does not help either. I hit the ground running with my feet and my legs.

I slowed down enough to do the normal weigh-in. I slow way down and lightly step on the scale so as to not upset the thing in any way. I am rewarded with another 1/2 pound gone. Small small small steps and slow slow slow progress!!!!!!! I then go to make my bed.

I made my bed yesterday for the first time in a long while ( I had company coming). It looked so nice that I decided I would make it again today. I had a pile of clothes that needed put away, so I just piled those on the bed. I have decided; I will go through my hope pile and see if any clothes can be added to the active file. Then, when I lose another 1 1/2 pounds, I will do another clean out of my closet. I have been doing that on a regular basis as I go to dress. If it is a little big and OOOOps, you can see in the side arm holes, it is moved to the give away pile. Last week, I was blessed with two nice dresses (cannot wear them out but I can look fabulous at home) and two nice shirts. I am being very careful not to spend money on clothes right now. Some of the shirts can be moved to the crafts pile.

Crafts, oh my goodness!  I am not sure what is happening to me, but the last week, I have had creative ideas that are WOW! Not sure where this is supposed to be going, but I am flexible. Yesterday, I saw a scrolled map and felt like I hit the jackpot with an awesome idea. I should write it down and stay on task for my life. DECLUTTER!!!!!!! I am feeling another wave of organize an area.
My sewing things are missing. Not all of them! But my needle-threader, the button jar, and a couple of other things. That means that before I take on any more sewing crafts, I should declutter and set up an area for my sewing. Maybe, I could use Jon's loft(son moved to his own house a couple of years ago) as the sewing/guest room.

Aside from sewing, I have some awesome pictures of ROPING RODEO that I need to edit and process. I have done a few, but need to do all of them.

 

 

Happy roping-in the wild, scatter-brained plans that I have today!

Tuesday Tea? No. This is the table set for lunch. I am blessed this week to have the opportunity to go to lunch twice with friends. Yesterday, I decided to have lunch and invite friends over. I found out a long time ago that friends are too special to make them wait until my house is spotless to enjoy time with them. After all they really are not coming to see my dishes or clean laundry.
