Happy first day of Summer! We finally have some summer heat, it was so cold last week, it is welcome!

I am slowly getting back to "normal", but I still have to take rest days. Here is my desk this morning:

My little journal is drying, otherwise not much to see...

here is my little journal page, I used up the rest of the hexagons that were sitting on my desk:

and I finished this journal page:

I did have a busy week, I met my 14 month old great great nephew who lives in France, and last night I went to a potluck with about 50 people who belong to my Shout Sister's Choir group, and we all sang together after we ate. It was a lot of fun, as I haven't been able to sing for the last couple of months.

              Our choir director!

Mittsy had an encounter with a fox a couple of days ago, and held her own very well!

That's it for me! Inky and Mittsy say "meow" and I say have a great week!

I'm back! After missing 6 weeks of WOYWW I'm back, finally feeling better with more energy, and back in my art room. It's been a long 6 weeks of doing absolutely nothing but watching Netflix, doctor's orders. But they paid off as I am feeling much better, my asthma is finally controlled (fingers crossed!) and I'm on the road to normalcy. 

To start, here is my desk this morning:

I went right back to work on my JIYA Journal, adding things to a few pages, such as:

And I added doodles to the black parts of these pages:

I made two new pages, one during those 6 weeks, a teeny bit at a time, and one this week

My "Four Seasons Page", 

and my newest page, which sums up my last 6 weeks!

Jasper turned two years old during those 6 weeks, and I got my new favourite photo!

Our front yard has turned into a veritable wildlife sanctuary, with 13 different varieties of birds, including a wild turkey and Mr. and Mrs. Mallard

the foxes

and most recently a bunny

Don't worry, Mittsy is a lover, not a killer. She sat here and watched the bunny for a good 30 minutes before it hopped away!

That's it for me today, hopefully it will be a long long while before I have to take another 6 weeks off!

Inky and Mittsy say "meow" and I say "Have a great week!"

PS: I apologise if the fonts are not all the same size. I tried, Blogger did not want to co-operate😜

PSS: Happy Birthday to my Alberta friend Therese, I'm sorry I couldn't send a card, but please accept my Happy Birthday wishes anyway! 💓 you!

Happy May everyone! Our weather forecast for May is cold, wet, and possibly snow. Brrr. So far they have been right on. But since I have been put back on Prednisone and 2 more weeks of "Agressive rest", it doesn't really matter. I am rewatching Doc Martin and Midsomer Murders.

Here is my desk this morning. I have tried to get here at least once a day for 15 minutes or so...

Not  lot of action, but some. I made another stencil from the TH dies of bugs that I have, but the dragonfly did not cut as nicely as the moth did. I put it in my little journal.

Then I started a new page in my JIYA Journal. This girl insisted on being stenciled in 4 times. Who am I to argue? I will just have to wait and see what they want next.

I did manage to work on Jasper's Quiet Book, and I made 3 little finger puppets for the Old MacDonald page. It is her favourite song, along with Happy Birthday!

Last but not least, the father fox in the neighborhood caught one of our black squirrels, right on our front lawn, at lunchtime. Here he is having killed it, and now making sure it is indeed dead. Later that evening as we were sitting on the porch we saw another black squirrel in a tree nearby, crying. It was heartbreaking😢😢

The foxes have been a bit more bold and aggressive this year.

Well, that's it for me this week. The cats are fine, although don't go out much anymore, always on the lookout for Mr. Fox. Hopefully May will warm up! Have a great week,

Hello! I missed last week due to an asthma attack, not fun, but feeling better now. I didn't get a lot done as I was ordered to "Aggressively rest"! But I did sneak in a few things over the past 2 weeks.

First, here is my desk. Nothing much on it this morning, but I had just finished making some stencils yesterday.

I cut a couple of easy stencils last week...this was from a Tim Holtz die

And these waves were freehand

and I used one in my mini art journal

I completed a page in my JIYA Journal and started another one...

and did a few pages in my Mini-journal

this one is playing with a honeycomb die cut

I finally made the first page of Jasper's Quiet Book...not perfect, but she won't notice!

and a couple of birthday cards...

this one I made from the stamp that I carved, added the hair and beard, looks just like my SIL!

and I bought myself a pressie, a little Cricut Joy! Hoping to make stencils with it, and maybe some other things. I have resisted buying a cricut for years and years, but I think it will work well for stencils

But it's a big learning curve, the cricut design software is not as easy as it looks! Any tips on making stencils with a cricut?

And to my Spring Garden, everything is green, but we still only have a few flowers, and nothing spectacular:

So I guess that's it for me! Our days go from nice and warm to almost freezing, so the cats are getting annoyed! The fox is about, actually had caught a neighbor's cat, but it was thankfully rescued, so we keep our ears and eyes open when Inky is out. I think she knows, she is very watchful...here is a pic this morning that I could see from my computer of a brave little bunny...right out on the front lawn eating bird seed. 

I'm happy to say the fox was elsewhere!

Have a great week, May is just around the corner!

Another lovely Spring day! Today is SIL's birthday, I made him a card and forgot to take a picture of it. Oh well.

Iwas busy all weekend with DD and GD, and I'm now sick. It seems to happen every time. 😒So I haven't done anything yet this week. But I do have my desk:

Which doesn't look like much as the last thing I made on it was SIL's birthday card. Hopefully I can do something today.

But here are some Easter pics! The Easter Bunny brings everyone a basket!

Jasper got some bunny ears...

and a new dress which she loved...

And she helped to make the Deviled Eggs with her mom...

And her favourite thing to do was play Grandma's piano! It is an electric piano and has tons of demo tracks which she loves to play!

Well that's it for me today, back off to rest and recuperate! Hopefully I will feel more my self soon. Have a wonderful Spring week,
