Sunday Scribblings " Brave"


click on image to read caption


Well I missed Christmas so to speak! The first in many years I've not spent with my brother! I'd made the desserts, then found out  his children's mom has H1N1. Not that brave I couldn't risk being around possible carriers with my compromised immune system. My kids are immunized but I'm not, so we stayed home. They were pretty burnt out from a  Christmas party the previous evening, welcoming a quiet evening with  Bryan fighting a cold too.  Instead I continued to work on this card I'd foolishly saved in JPEG form instead of BMP....having to redo the whole thing so I can print it out a hard copy!!! My brother is very similar to Howie Mandel except he gives hugs!!!  For those wondering, we dropped off the desserts. Don't worry we have a few other Christmas dinners in the works!

Sunday Celebrations

My friend Laura sets a beautiful table for all occasions! Thanksgiving is no exception. Nine of us made for a quaint delectable meal. The Peaceful ambiance produced great conversation and a few chuckles as we shared Laura's homemade, very smooth blackberry liquor!

Two women, with artists souls, dress in retro garb for the celebration! Karen, Laura's sister wore a fabulous Shakespearian style dress purchased in Quebec!
Pepper had dinner at Bryan's family home, where 27 people shared food, loads of love, laughter and Peppers favorite drink, Crown Royal!
Anita, (Bryan's sister) and Pepper cuddle for the camera! Pepper always comes away from that home with a happy feeling! The sisters embrace her with so much love! I just adore them all!
The two youngest flank Bryan, craving his attention! A joyous celebration of Thanksgiving, and the kids came home smiling!

Saturday Thanksgiving Dinner

Cousins seven years apart!
My brothers children


My brother's had those slippers at his house for almost twenty years now. One Christmas in the early nineties I bought everyone a pair. Pepper was the only child born at the time. The slippers came with batteries and quacked when we walked. I don't think everyone saw the humor in them as much as I did! Mine are hidden away in a box somewhere! At least they made for a cute picture of this adorable munchkin!

My Brothers little guest is a twin. Her dads is a fireman who just bought a silk screen business. He is very surprised at how well it's taken off just catering to the Indy scene. I'm excited to introduce some of my artist friends to his side business!
These darling twins wearing a pair of vibrant colored pajamas fit right into my blog. They were very sweet to watch!

It was a Beauty! The cake and the Celebration!

Gypsy goddess Laura made the most beautiful and scrumptious cake ever!! Only wish I wasn’t so full I could have had another TASTE!!!….that’s what the goddesses call seconds!!!

Laura ( here in the green) also crafted that beautiful single strand necklace (below) for Chris, with the reversible rectangular red and orange glass bead! The black necklace beneath is separate from the one Laura made. It's an interesting necklace too. Made with clear beads and black string.

Life is Art and I am always amazed at what a good haircut can do for a person. My mom was a hairdresser for over forty years; I spent countless hours watching her cut, perm and color hair. Mom also sewed, altered furniture and lamps to match rooms, and even made me a pair of shorts out of an old coat. Then; you altered thing out of fiscal necessity and because less material items were available. Now we do it for pleasure, to recycle and also to practice restraint!
This is the great haircut my friend the fairy goddess received yesterday! Last night we celebrated her birthday at our favorite Chili Pepper House restaurant. Where the food was exceptionally delicious!


Good Haircuts always leave me in awe!









Goddess Birthday Celebration, we had such a lovely time!
Our Earth goddess an avid hiker just came back from a hike in Peru; where a protest by the locals that became heated. The hikers and tourists were forced to escape. They were up all night on the bus ride to Lima. Connie said it was scary, every time the bus door opened they feared bandits would confiscate all their items of value including their passports!
