Dress/Cabbage/Welding/Hair and DOTS

I love it when I run across the 

cutest things.

HAHA

Speaking of wearing I still have

some cute 50's style dresses.

I love this. 

Last week I cooked....haha

okay let me try that again, I 

cooked for me and not the dogs!

I had never had polish sausage and 

fried cabbage. But I like both 

so I decided to give it a try.

It was so GOOD!

Since my sugery it is rare for

me to have several items for a meal 

like I did when kids were home.

A one pot or one dish meal works

for me. So this filled me up.

I am not sure if I shared with you

folks that I like to weld.

It is not something I have done

a lot of but I like it.

This is not my design or 

project (found on PINTEREST) 

but I would love to make

something like this for my 

yard. 

I did however make this 

"wild flower"

a few yrs ago.

Course the pedals of the flower is

lawnmower blades. 

I elected to not paint it cause

I love the rust.

This next piece was a found in 

the trash piece by my brother.

I however did add more

pieces to it.  I added the 

tallest piece with the gears and 

stuff on it. I actually added this

piece going down the center

of the part that already existed.

I did that cause this was a tad top

heavy and would fall over a lot.

By adding the longer piece, going

past the base it gives me about

six inches to stick into the ground

to keep it from falling over.

I have a spring like flag that normally

hangs in the front yard but I 

saw this one the other day and 

had to have it. I wanted it due

to the cardinal on it since that

is the bird that was waiting for me

on moms deck the day of her funeral

that I know was a sign from mom.

Plus, mom's fave bird, Eastern Bluebird

is on here also. I got this for 

me but I bought my daughter one

along with the hook to hang it on.

So, the other day I got a wild hair (no pun)

and 

decided that the hair had to go. 

I made my apt and went today.

My hair dresser has been doing 

my hair for years and she is never

surprised when I spend a yr of more

letting the hair grow, then cut it all off

only to let it start growing again!

I will miss putting it up and pulling

it back but I figure if I am doing

that I might as well cut it. 

This morning I video chatted

with the boys, DJ and Braden

this morning while they waited on 

the bus. 

While talking Braden sends me

this pic of himself!!

Silly BOY.

Sunday I went to my sis in law

Kim's family Mothers Day 

cookout. Kim picked me 

up and this is her ride.

With Rain's Art Date I posted

some pics and commented

on others art. One of the 

themed parts of the art challenge 

was DOTS.

I made a comment on someones

post that I had painted a painting

in mostly dots once.

They asked if I had a pic so

I am including that now in this

post. Hard to tell but the only

thing that was not painted with dots

was the house in the background.

This is the only one I painted like that...

IT WAS HARD. I am used to doing

strokes of trying to remember to just DOT

was not easy!

And speaking of ART, I saw this 

on PINTEREST.

SO COOL!
