This busy Friday started with a short stop at Me Darlin' Mither's on my way to D'Art Group.
I had only ten or fifteen minutes with her, but it was enough time to share the latest gems I've gleaned from my job entering the names from state obituaries.
Yesterday's special was a gal whose legal name was "Twinkle Bell -----------".
Enough said.
On to D'Art Group where we painted an apple as part of a learning exercise about color value...
...and started painting the backgrounds on our canvasses for an ongoing project.
Mine will undergo a complete makeover later.
I came home for a bite of lunch before meeting up with our 'adopted' daughter, Leeeeeeeesa, to shop for silk flowers for her upcoming wedding.
She's marrying during the holiday season, so a little red and a little bright green are the order of the day.
A little practice on the boutonnieres...
...and a little bit of work on Baby Girl's Christmas stocking...
...brings me to this moment where I am filling time with this post before Little Man and his sweet momma arrive to pick up some folding chairs for his Sunday birthday party and have a little fitting of...
...Ninja masks before I actually settle on the pattern size...
...and get things all stitched up tomorrow.
After the fitting, it's off to the Plum Thicket Book Club meeting, where we'll be discussing "To Kill A Mockingbird".
That's a lot of input for one day.
Lots of pretty things, lovely people, and creative energy.
But none of it exceeded the amazing bit of God's handiwork I stopped to enjoy on my way out to the car first thing this morning.
The morning-glories climbing over our fence from the back flower bed...
...were absolutely...
...glorious.
