Tops to Lost Bottoms

…thanks to Becky B for hosting this month’s Square Tops

A while back at the inn one of the staff members was cleaning out a cupboard and came across a dozen or more teapot lids without the pots that they normally cover. She asked the bread bakers if we had any use for them and two of us took some. I thought they might come in handy for an art project and I’ve used them once for a photography assignment. I might arrange them in shadow box with glass to keep them from gathering dust. Any other ideas out there?669-C8-E8-E-7913-4-F21-9-A04-52-CCEED741-CB-1-201-a

Day 27 – Favourite Toy

…thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting the 30 Day at Home Challenge

All my favourite toys from childhood are gone. I once asked my mother what happened to our toys and she very matter of factly said that we weren’t playing with them anymore so she threw them away. I remember being somewhat shocked but on the other hand my mother did not like clutter and the decorations around the house were very minimal.

Decades ago I started collecting teddy bears. The collection grew very quickly when people learned of my new found hobby. Many of those bears have been put aside and only my favourite are now on display.

Day 26 – Books Waiting to be Read

thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting the 30 Day at Home Challenge

I thought I would get a lot of reading done during this pandemic but I seem to be busy doing other things, like baking, cleaning, blogging, playing piano, making art, walking the dog, connecting on-line through WhatsApp, Zoom and House Party and watching TV. I better get busy because I have to read at least one of these books before May 8 which is when our next on-line book club meeting is.

The first set of books are some of my art reference books, which I look at periodically.594-ACBEE-FCD4-4193-B365-8-F6149-CD9-F5-C

Sunday Trees – 441

 

….I missed last week but not surprising with the shock I encountered

I dedicate this page to Lisa McCully (Kierstead) and all the victims of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia.
