Leafs Me Happy!

Welcome to October ... and what a way to start!

Leafs Me Happy Blog Hop

Hosted by Cherry of
Cherry Blossoms Quilt Studios

(where you can find the complete hop schedule)

First, to all of you sending me

get well wishes ... I sincerely thank you!

I'm still trying to shake the bug that has

taken me out, as I hear so many others

are fighting too, but I think I finally think

I'm seeing the end of it ... yay!

Enough so that I can return to my day

job as I gotta go to work to pay the bills.

To those who know me best, this

may tell you most ... this week,

as I missed so many days of work

due to illness ... I found I didn't

even turn on my computer at home.

I KNOW!!

Glad to be back!

and to be back with so much fun

to look forward to this week ...

Without Further Adieu

I share with you today my

Leafs in a Wreath block:

The pattern comes from Nancy Halvorsen's

Acorn Hollow book for Art to Heart.

I used batiks from my stash and am in

the process of turning this block into

a table topper ... just couldn't get

it done in time for pictures for posting.

Hopefully, I can share later this week.

I know, I know ... just one block???

Yep ... and one block I am lucky

to have after the week I had!

However, not to be disappointed,

I share with you the rest of today's

marvelous artists for inspiration

in this beautiful time of year we

are experiencing (or wish we were!)

Hello everyone! It's time to get into the autumn mood, so I wore this lovely red look. The polish in the photo is by Eveline cosmetics, no.603. I got it at a croatian local store and this is the first one of these I've tried out - I was so pleasantly surprised! It's a beautiful color (it does have a shimmer to it), and it has AWESOME durability...I will definitively go back for more!! The one on the forefinger and the middle finger is by L'oreal, and it's (I only just figured this out while writing hehe) also no.603...oh the coincidence! It's back from before they redesigned the bottles. I find this L'oreal it to be a great autumn color, however the formula was a bit too thick for me, especially compared to Eveline, which was a breeze to paint on my nails. I still havent tried out the new L'oreal bottles so I cant wait to see what they're like compared to the old polishes.

Anyway, hope you all are having a great time this week, and I'll see you guys in the next post! *hug*

Picture Story ....

I'll let the pictures tell the story ...

I will return as quickly as possible!

Long distance hugs to each of you!

Gradient Blue Sea

Hello lovely people! If you dont love gradient manicures, then you've never tried one out...they're so much fun and your nails look so wicked! This look was inspired by the sea and the waves...it was such a fun summer look..I wish I could have one more month of summer! Polishes used: the darkest color - Max Factor Max Effect Mini Nail Polish No.37 'Prussian Blue' (great great color, it's such a lovely dark blue), then Deborah Milano Pret A Porter No.29 'Blue Paradise', and the white on the tips - dm No.115 (since they redesigned the bottles some time ago, I have been in love with their polishes, I'm a sucker for great bottles!)

See you in the next post! ;)
