WOYWW 165 - Canvas Reveal!!

I'm linking up to WOYWW hosted by Julia at Stamping Ground.  Creative people from all over the world link up every Wednesday to show their workdesks and sometimes what projects they are working on.   Make yourself comfortable, get a cup of coffee (or tea) and sit a while.  It's so much fun to see what everyone is working on. 

This is my first "baby announcement."  I had fun drawing the giraffes but I couldn't draw them small enough to get their whole body on the canvas.  I think it's pretty darn cute - what do you think?

Hello Mr. Giraffe

And a sad note.  My little conure, Tulip, passed away on Monday.  It was totally unexpected.  She was just a baby - less than a year old.  I miss her whistling for me in the morning and calling me sweetheart.  She had even started laughing like me.  Now it's just me and Katie dog.

It seems as though I've had one struggle after another - losing Daisy in March, health issues and now losing Tulip.  Sometimes life is just so dang rough.

As always I'll visit those that leave a comment and those that end in the same number as me.  I also visit others as I can.   


Peace,

Pancakes on the Plaza

Every Independence Day the Rotary Club in Santa Fe hosts "Pancakes on the Plaza."  It's a great day to enjoy spending time with friends, eat pancakes and check out all the old vehicles in the car show.   I just love old cars.  Here's some photos from the day.

Peace,

Siscily's Garden

When I was in northern New Mexico Alyce and I stopped by Siscily's house.

Unfortunately she wasn't home. 

I've met her a few times.   She's a soul full of love and creativity.  

A true free spirit.  

I was totally blown away by her home.

Love her collection of crosses

Hello beautiful blooms

Oh-Be Joyful Garden

Love this - see the fishing lures hanging from the sign?

Hello Daisy

She has a stream running right outside her front door.  

This is definitely a little piece of heaven.

Peace,

Kay

WOYWW - I Missed You All Last Week

Just like the title says - Happy WOYWW and I really missed everyone last week.

If you don't know what WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday) is about you're in for some fun.   It all starts at Julia's blog over at Stamping Ground.   You'll get to visit creative desks all over the world!!

I made a canvas for a friend of mine.  I can't show the finished project yet because it hasn't been given -- but just as soon as it's given I'll post about it.  It's a mixed media piece unlike my She Art girls.  I really enjoyed making it and can't wait to give it!

So, my desk is loaded up with paints, brushes, papers, markers and the little bits and pieces that I used.

Do you see that tin of ribbon?

This is at a yard in Chama - a friend of Alyce's named Siscily.
Look for a post on her garden soon!
And yes, she made the sign!!!

As always, I'll visit people that end in the same number as me.  I will also visit those of you that leave a comment (and your number please).  After that I roam through as many other posts as possible.  But be warned - it may not be until the weekend....

Peace,

Kay
