Still Life in Primary Colors

I painted these sometime ago.  I need to find more time to get back into painting.  Mixing paints and creating different colors is so rewarding.  These are hanging on a narrow wall in my kitchen.

Current Crocheting Project

I am currently working on a hexagon afghan. 
They are now ready to be assembled.  The pattern size is for a throw.  I think I might add a few rows because I want to make sure that it will be big enough.  The worst thing is having your feet exposed or not having enough blanket to cover your whole body. 


I like the way the hexagons are joined to one another.  As you crochet around each one you simply attach them.  It gives the piece an added charm.  Hopefully by this weekend I will have this project done!

Pink, Pink & More Pink

On one of my walks I passed by this gorgeous tree and just couldn't resist taking some pictures.

From Tarnished to Polished

Last night I came home from work and had it in my mind to do a little polishing.  It makes all the difference.

This is a sterling silver sugar spoon with amber.  My mother bought it for me when she was in Poland a few years ago.  I will always treasure it!

Beautiful Magnolia

Magnolia trees are so beautiful when they are in bloom.

Framed Piece # 2

When I saw this pattern I just knew I had to make it.  The vivid colors against a navy blue backdrop was eye catching. 
The matting and framing make all the difference.  It really showcases the article being framed.

There is just something about lighthouses that attracts me.
