The winter is so close....

Hey guys...you know those days when you just dont feel like doing much? Well I'm in that phase now. I dont really feel like doing something special with my nails so I am just wearing this grey polish by Catrice. It doesnt really look good by itself (at least to me, i dont think this color works well with my skin tone), it requires some stamping in my opinion hehe. Do you have days like this, when you dont feel like doing anything special with your nails? I need to change this and go ombre or something ;)

See you in the next post! ;)

Modern Mini Mystery Reveal

The end has come to the Modern Mini Mystery round robin ... Thank you for your organizational skills, Michele ... what a task!

I give my sincere gratitude to each quilter that contributed their artistry to by 6 1/2 inch block.  I am truly impressed with the end result as well as am grateful for the opportunity to stretch my imagination with each block I was fortunate enough to work on with my group.

So, without further adieu, my completed Modern Mini Round Robin block as returned to me.... don't yet know what I'll turn this into, however, it deserves a quality finish which I will share when I can finish it right:

Rainbow Dots

Hey guys! So this look is a direct result of me being very bored, haha! I decided to 'upgrade' a simple look because I wanted something more...and I ended up not liking it very much. :( I think this would have looked much better over a nude polish. It's a fun look to wear, but next time I try this out I will have to remember to make the dotting nicer, instead of the way it turned out here. Oops! Here's a photo of my helpers:

And here's the look before the dotting - I wore Catrice's 'I Wear My Sunglasses At Night' - this is a dark polish with hints of pink and green glitter. I dont really remember the reason for picking this up at the store since in the bottle it doesnt really appeal to me, but I loved wearing it. The formula's a bit thick, but the sparkle is lovely. It somehow always ends up that the polishes I buy that I'm not too crazy about in the store I end up loving, and the ones I'm really excited about end up being just BLA. Funny how that works?

Anyway, see you all soon, hopefully with nicer stuff to show! ;)

Pausing ...

 

I am pausing,

reflecting,

working ...

and

plan to return soon....

 

Thank you!

Wednesday's UR Priceless

YES!  The campaign ads are officially over ...

whether you won or lost ... we can all cheer that

here in the States, the campaign ads are over!!

 

While I am extremely grateful that I live in a nation

that gives me, and my daughters, the right to vote,

among so very many rights denied to so very many

others ... dang it all ... these campaigns are disheartening.

 

Just the opposite, however, and something else to cheer

about, is our very fun, creative and oh-so-inspiring

crafters sharing with us on this UR Priceless

blog hop ... so join me this Wednesday, for Day 3

and visit these fine crafters:

Sephora fall look

Hey girls! To be honest, I was never too crazy about Sephora polishes, they were just never really my thing. Even though the end result here was nice, I still dont enjoy working with these polishes - they're too thick for my taste, and also I'm not a fan of the brush....but the green is gorgeous though, I cant deny that! ;) Anyway, the colors are 'Military Jacket' (the dark green one) and 'City Amazon' (the grey one). I got these babies in a pack of 3 polishes and they're kind of growing on me. Do you enjoy looking for polishes at Sephora? See you in the next post, have a nice day! ;)

My Day to be UR Priceless!

Welcome to Day 2 of the

U R Priceless Blog Hop...

 

A huge thank you to Katherine for

organizing all of us bloggers for the

hop and a wonderful and grateful

thank you to Madame Samm for

the adorable pattern for which

we are all sharing during this

hop.  Thank you!

 

I do happen to be on the

schedule today ... and I actually

have a few in the hopper to share

with you all ...

I actually have more that are still

on the cutting table, but I'm not

sharing those :) ... betch're glad, eh?

{grin}

 

First up, are my little monsters ...

no! not my daughters ... at least not today!

but in their honor, I share with you these:

 

Okay ... I have to admit ... I ADORE the monsters!

They fit my sense of humor and sense of fun ...

I can't hardly resist anything that goofy

to make me smile :)

 

Next, I chose some material left over from

a quilt I've been working on ... front side:

 

 

and backside.... I used invisible thread attaching

the handle and it blends real nicely with the

silver of the handle...

 

For the last share I have for you today,

I chose something a bit more sophisticated ...

yes, I actually do know how to spin

a bit of sophisication when I have to!

 

Again, left over materials from other projects.

 

I hope to share with you the rest when I

get them completed ... and complete them

I will ... gift giving season is right around the

the corner and these are wonderful gift items

I'd say!

 

Thank you so much for visiting with me today.

Please be sure to visit my fellow blog hop stops

today, as we all enjoy encouranging support

whenever and wherever it comes from!
