Wow! #699! Almost there! I hope everyone has had a nice week, we have been enjoying the fall leaves with almost summer weather!

Here is my desk this morning, still working on my Fodder School. Here I am wetting all my pages with rusty water, and burning holes in some of the wet pages.

 

Last week was our wedding anniversary, here is hubby's card (idea straight from Pinterest!):

I made a similar birthday card for a friend that I will show next week.

Here are a couple of photos of Mittsy taken by my next door neighbour at her place!

And a final photo of some hydrangea from my garden, drying for the winter.

you can see me peeking out from behind!

Have a wonderful week! See you at 700!

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the fall colours, we certainly are. But it's also getting so cold the cats think twice about going outside in the mornings. I love Fall, I dislike cold. I'm already looking forward to Spring! I've been collecting a few leaves on my walk, so that I can make some art on them. If I am successful I will show you!

Here is my desk this morning. I am pressing the leaves I picked up yesterday.

And here is Monday when I was doing some marks using styrofoam meat trays that I had inscribed onto. I used my Grandmothers very fancy pen that doesn't work to inscribe! This was step four I believe in this process that I am doing for Fodder School. The next step uses the teas that I made for dying the fabrics, which is why you can see the jar of tea in today's picture.

That's about it for today, short and sweet! I leave you with a lovely photo my SIL took on Thanksgiving weekend - 3 generations!

Our 38th wedding anniversary is tomorrow - boy, time flies!

Have a wonderful week, we are closing in on 700! Ink and Mittsy say "meow!" (Mittsy has located a mouse under the stove, and we are now in the process of getting rid of it, either by live-trap or Mittsy, whichever comes first. Isn't Fall fun!)

Last week was so busy that I didn't spend any time in my art room, so here is my desk this morning:

I think all I did this week was throw some finished and dried papers on top of the papers from last week.

Here is the view from my door. I can hardly move in here without knocking something over!

Last weekend was Thanksgiving, and my DD, SIL, and Granddaughter came to visit. We had a great time! We went to the park, Jasper had her first wagon ride, she learned how to mash egg yolks for deviled eggs, and she rode her mother's rocking horse for the first time!

She has grown so much since the last time we saw her!

The leaves are starting to change and are looking beautiful, we will go on our annual "leaf tour" next weekend and I will share some photos then. Have a wonderful week, and I will try and get into my art room this week! Inky and Mittsy say "meow"!

Hello October! It ranges from 4°C to 21°C in one day these days! The cats are now waiting for it to warm up before they venture outside. I missed last week's post because I got Covid from my hubby who got it several days before. Try as I might to avoid it, it found me. It's over now, and I'm left with a terrible sounding cough that seems to be getting better every day. But I did mange to get some things done in my art room when I felt better.

Here is today's desk:

It looks like I'm just making a mess, and you would be right. It's called "mark making" and I'm using found items to make marks on different types of papers. There is a purpose to all of this which will be revealed eventually. I also dyed some fabrics using natural dyes that I found around the house, mostly teas, but I also had some very old saffron that I used to get a bit of a yellow colour. I wanted to use turmeric, which I couldn't find, but then did, of course, the next day. I'll use it next time.

That's it for me today, I leave you with a picture of my SIL walking with Jasper - she's walking now!

                                                                                Twins!

This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada, we will have a small gathering (it went from 10 to 6 over the last few days), but best of all we will get to see Jasper and her parents!

Have a great week!
