Like allot of you the weather here has been so up and down-down to 1 degree and up to 50 degrees f the next day. No wonder my asthma, and allergy systems are all over the place this season-worse than I have been in a long time. Nothing seems to help-my ears are constantly draining, and making me light headed-not fun.
Since Friday I have been binge watching the Outlander series on Starz. The first episode started at 11:30 am my time and I stayed up til 3:30 am. Went to sleep but woke up in four hours-so I turned Outlander on again and pretty much watched all day again til around 2am. No wonder I am tired lol I had not seen this show before except for some last year.
Some of the episodes on Sunday I had seen before but watched again after about 10 am. Only show I missed that I really wanted to see was Jamie seeing his daughter Brianna for the first time.
This year's episodes are based on the book I haven't read yet The Fiery Cross during the time leading up to our revolution-perhaps including the war. I will start reading this one tonight.
There are of course some changes in the series from the books but not too bad. I really loved the photography and all of the actors and actresses.
I did get some spinning done-I am pleased with the results. This has been easier for me to spin than some wools I have spun before. This is polwarth wool with silk.
This afternoon I made another journal page for Elizabeth's Heart theme over on AJJ
This one I took a page out of a mixed media notebook to work on-and then glued in my journal.
I wanted to play with stamps, pens, and try to draw something. I drew the umbrella and the puddle of water that the one heart fell into. I hope it looks like a puddle of water.
This week I am still drinking my lemon-ginger water, decaf teas and coffee and Sunday evening I decided to open up a bottle of wine-some of you will remember this one. It came from Aldi and I really like this one.
I took this photo on the kitchen table so you can see my coffee cup to the right-and ignore the background clutter.
This "glass" I bought from one of our favorite potterers back in the '80s or so. This was one of his first attempts with porcelain I have two and use them for small size beverages.
Originally I was scheduled to go to Springfield, Mo with a friend to get our taxes done and to visit craft stores. However, early this morning I got a call that our appointment got changed to next week Wednesday morning--so that means I will be able to visit everyone.
Happy T wishes to all of you
I love your page of raining hearts. Along with the falling rain and splashing puddle (no mistaking that!) there is a lot of movement in this piece. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteI like the Outlander series. I've read a few of the books but not all of them. One of these days I will get back to them I guess. But good for you to sit up watching the shows. I have the same little hand spinner with the sheep on it like you do. And I love the hearts in the rain. Nice journal page Kathy. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Erika, The books are really long which I do love, but the books are so involved that I need to take a break to get all in if that makes sense-I can't read her books when I am tired.
DeleteI love this little hand spinner and was so inexpensive to others I have picked up.
Sorry to read your allergies and asthma are flaring up. With all this roller coaster weather we've been having, I think Mother Nature is off her meds!
ReplyDeleteMost impressive page of hearts, dear Kathy. I'm really impressed with both your drawing (something I can't seem to accomplish) and your stamping those hearts. They certainly convey they are raining down and the one in the puddle is genius. I agree with Barbara that there is a lot of movement. Super job. Thanks for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey using my theme, too.
That's a very unique container you used for your wine. This is is quite different and I was really impressed with the porcelain. It's a very pretty color, too. Thanks for sharing your spinning, your lovely journal page, and your wine and mug with us for T this almost Tuesday.
Thank you so much about my hearts page-I really can't draw either but I was happy I managed the umbrella and the water puddle lol.
DeleteI agree that Mother Nature is off her meds for sure.
Sweet journal page of raining hearts. I love that you have one of a kind 'glass' pottery to enjoy, along with a nice wine. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Linda
DeleteI'm baaack! Thank you for the lovely card to cheer me up! It was nice to know you thought of me. I really like the journal page you did for Elizabeth, so light and airy. Have a great T Day!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon I was so happy to see you at T this week. I can't even imagine how difficult you had it with both wrists being broken-so glad you had help to get through it all and are now able to do some things-just don't over do it-hugs
DeleteThank you! I am not sore today, so guess I didn't overdo.
DeleteOhwww, so sad you´re not well!
ReplyDeleteWOW, you ARE tough, though, that is some time span you binge-watched! LOL!
And I feel a tad ashamed I´ve never heard of that series...
I still have a very ... hmmm... beautiful? picture in my head with wools.
Ingo´s late Granma wanted to welcome me to the family with socks. Not enough wool, shops closed, so the front and back were a different one.
I loved it! "Oh, you say that to be polite!", she said, but Ingo went: "I want some like that, too!" As did his Brother... you get the picture.
One day I went downstairs and found her on the ground. No, not fallen, on her knees, "streets" of different wools for socks :-)
I have the most unique ones (as Hubby, his Brother.... etc).
Ohhhhh, a brolly!!! I´m a Pluviophile, I love your page!
You have an ALDI, too?!! It´s world-wide now, I guess?
To wine (or beer) and a happy T-day!
Good morning Iris, your comment had me smiling this morning. Those socks sound so beautiful and made with love.
DeleteThank you for letting me know what pluviophile means-I love the sound of a soft rain.
Yes back near our woods home we had an aldi store in the next town over. None near the lake house though and I will miss it.
Happy T
Your hearts journal page is lovely. An Outlander binge sounds like fun. Sorry your allergies are flaring up, that's not good. The wool looks fabulous, ahve fun. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Valerie
DeleteFirst of all I think your drawing and page with the heart falling in the puddle looks fantastic Kathy, you could almost imagine hearing the splash. Its an awesome page for Elizabeth and Bleubeards AJJ theme.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a marathon TV watch at the weekend, it sounds like a good series to keep you gripped to the story.
I hope you are feeling better and the allergies are not so troublesome for you today.
Yvonne xx
Hi Yvonne thank you so much for your kind comments with my Heart page. I have not done much at all in drawing so this was fun and am glad it looks like what I wanted it to.
DeleteYes it was a nice tv marathon now I can't get the theme music our of my head lol
Oh what a lovely journal page! Yes, it is clearly a puddle of water. No doubt about that!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you are having a bad time with your allergies. Not fun at all. So distraction in the shape of a mega Outlander session is a good idea. I have probably told you already that I read the first outlander book and didn't like it. I don't think I finished it, which is very unusual for me.
That is beautiful wool you have spun there. Very colourful. What are you going to do with it?
Ha! Spanish wine! And Tempranillo grapes too! (Once you've read my blogpost of today, you will understand why I am Ha-ing.
Have a great T-Day dear Kathy,
Hugs,
Lisca
I have several different wools to spin up that I picked up over a couple years inspired by the colors in Yellowstone Park. I want to make some garments not sure just what yet.
Deletewow I need to go back to your blog page I didn't catch that these were the same grapes cool and so glad you liked my page
Yes your puddle looks like a puddle! Your yarn is beautiful. I can't wait to see what you make with it. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Debra, thank you so much
DeleteKathy your artwork is lovely, love the raining hearts and the puddle,, the yarn is a beautiful mixture of colours, very warm colours, what are you going to make with it?
ReplyDeleteAllergies aren’t good at any time, our son has asthma, luckily as he’s got older he’s got much better thank goodness.
Have a great week and hope you feel better soon

Good morning, thank you so much I am loving my page more now.
DeleteI am going to weave some sort of clothing but not sure what yet. I have several other rovings to spin up and then decide how and what I want to weave. I discovered I had asthma in the 90s it is usually not too bad but I this very up and down weather has gotten to me this year
Get well soon Kathy!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful page!
Happy T-Day!
Susi
thank yo Susi, so glad you dropped by
DeleteThis weather has been weird, hasn't it, first winter then spring then back to winter. Madness! Your pottery piece is lovely. I like the smaller sizes. They are easier for me to handle. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteHi I love the smaller pieces too-just the right size if I want just a little of something like wine
DeleteI enjoyed the first episode of Outlander for the new season. I may start watching from the beginning. Himself joined me, but hasn't followed the series as religiously so he was lost in a few places. Your mixed media journal page is fun. Yup, looks like a puddle and a fine one to splash into. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteHi CJ I really loved the first episode too for this season-looks like allot will be going on. I am glad it does look like a puddle-
DeleteFun art journal page, and I love your ceramic cup ~ it looks like it's comfortable to hold.
ReplyDeleteHi yes the cup is very easy to hold-it is squished in on two sides.
Deletethank you so much for dropping by
Beautiful the page and the hearts on the box!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy reading the book and get well soon!
Greetings elke
Thank you so much Elkes
DeleteSounds like a great week! Your spinning looks beautiful, I'm loving the colours 😊. Such a fabulous page too with the hearts and rain! Having visited the T Day blogs, I love valentine’s cards that you sent, I was wondering if andyou created them and what materials you used? Just wanted to say, I’m in love the design with the heart bunting, key and Eiffel tower/hearts – so beautiful 😁. Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteHi Jo I just sent you and email too-no I did not make those-I fell in love with them too. I found the cards online at Current Inc.
DeleteI am loving how this is spinning up too-thank you hugs
Beautiful
ReplyDeletethank you for stopping by
DeleteBelated T-day wishes, and thank for stopping by my blog this week.
ReplyDeleteYour spinning is gorgeous...........and I'll look for that wine.
Sorry to hear about your allergies.......mine are acting up, but not nearly as bad as yours. Hope you feel better real soon.
Your spinning looks wonderful, what colours!
ReplyDeleteI came her in search f hearts and certainly found them - and I love how you used them. What a wonderful idea to use them with an umbrella in the rain and the puddle really does look like one.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thank you sooo much Neet-I appreciate it
DeleteI like the beautiful colors of the wool you spun. Your heart artwork is beautiful. And I like the thoughtful cards you sent to others, who showed them in their T posts this week. I don't have cable, so I don't know about that Outlander series, but it sounds good. I need to get back to reading books, which I used to enjoy doing. Happy Belated T-Day!
ReplyDeleteI started reading books again about 4 years ago-I used to think it was a waste of time because I could be doing something else-but being retired now I decided it was ok
DeleteSorry to hear you are under the weather, literally! Love the colour of the wool.I love your drawing and it's such a lovely journal page! I have never seen Outlander but my son says it is worth watching! I doubt I could have stayed awake that long, I was even nodding in front of a favourite programme the other night! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteHi Chris I couldn't believe I stayed up that late the first night but I hadn't seen of the episodes and wanted to see them lol
DeleteHello Kathy. How interesting to read about the Outlander TV series and the books. I must have a look out for them.
ReplyDeleteIt's raining here off and on all the time so I really love seeing your "raining" hearts, a nice cheerful take on the rain.
