Monday

Well the rains have returned.  Yesterday was foggy in the morning and beautiful the rest of the day.  Today actually started out ok but by afternoon it started raining.  Really can't complain, we've had a long warm summer.  Here it is the end of September already.  After all this is what the Pacific Northwest is known for. 

I spent a fun day yesterday with my daughters, celebrating two of our birthdays.  We wondered the Pearl District in Portland, shopped a little, ate and drank a little, laughed a little and had a great time together.  One more birthday to go,  I think we might go for a hike.  

If you get a chance check out my shop on Zazzle.  I just added some new items today with a pair of doodled ballet shoes.  

Finished a little recycled jewel box this week and another three doodled, recycled candlestick birdhouses.   I've added both items to my She Who Doodles Etsy shop.

Working on another jewel box then onto a chair I picked up cheap at a thrift store. 



I love working on multiple projects at a time.  Something is always drying before the next step anyway so makes it easy.   

I feel like I've been on the computer most of the day, guess I better close out and fix some dinner.  Time for some cold weather meals, time to get the crock pot out. 

Thanks for visiting.

ihanna postcard swap

I haven'd done a post card swap for several years.  ihanna offers a swap twice a year now and they are always fun.  Not only to create the postcards but mostly receiving them.  Watching the mail box each day to see where the next one might come from.   It's not too late if you are still interested, just follow the link above to sign up, you have till Oct 22.  ihanna is in Sweden so this is an international swap. 

Finally started on my 10 postcards,  a little paint, a little collage and finally some doodles.  Just waiting for my list of addresses to send them to.



It's not like I really needed another project but always fun to do something different.  I have 4 scheduled fall/holiday events and another on a wait list.  Plus it's football season and the grandsons are playing.  By the looks of the wins all 3 teams will be going into playoffs. 

The rains have started after a long dry summer, but thankful the smoke is gone and the air is clear.  Feeling sad for all the famili…

Postcards

Still receiving postcards in the mail from iHanna's swap this fall.  Love getting the real mail and not just advertisements.   So far I've received 8 cards,  from Oregon, Washington (close to home), California, British Columbia, Arkansas and Virginia.   Since I don't have the last two I bet they are coming form some place overseas. 

Here's a look at the different designs I've received so far. 


Thank you everyone that sent me a card, some email addresses were not real clear so haven't been able to get that personal thank you out. 

Fall is definitely here,  cold, windy and rainy here today.  A good soup day. 

Stay warm where ever you are.

Thanks for visiting.

Beach Escape

If someone tries to tell you that a bad day at the beach beats a bad day at home don't believe them.  I got rained on, hailed on and blown.  My poor pup didn't like the hail storm we got caught in while walking on the beach.

The first two days were beautiful, didn't even need a jacket the second day.  I did know the prospect of good weather wasn't going to last so spent most of the first couple of days walking outdoors.

All and all it still refreshes the mind to get away to where none of the things at home can weigh on your mind.  We walk when we could, whenever the clouds would break and even in the rain.  One day in desperation to get out for a walk we bundled up, rain coats for both of us and went out for a short walk.  But you know once you're wet what the heck, keep going.  That was the day we took the logging trail up above Rockaway Beach.  Even in the rain the view was beautiful and lots of good smells for Fritz.

Dogs, I don't understand how they can pee …
