Working on black cats and grey-haired witches...some of my favorite things.
These girls are hand sewn from early fabrics...in this case an antique choir robe did double duty..cats and witches.
I only make a few thing every year for my friend to sell in her shop. I have scaled back over the last few years to spend more time on my family and because of our traveling schedule. But...I still itch to "create"...just in a very limited way.
********************************************
Last week, Mr. MW and I celebrated our thirty first anniversary...he bought me flowers...
red and green with a bit of pink...and very old
They even came with a few birds...red in the upper left corner and white in the lower left.
I love my new bouquet...and the husband is a keeper, too!
*************************************************
Annie picked (from the Fresh Market) a sunflower bouquet for her birthday flowers...she loves sunflowers.
Thank you to all who sent birthday wishes to my girl. I read her every comment and she was so happy...I read them several times, in fact. You all helped to make it a very special day.
Annie sends her father out for his run just before sunrise...and then she watches the squirrels and birds in the front yard. Sometimes...most times...she curls up and waits for Daddy to come home. Yes...those orangey things are her feet!
Hope your week is going well!
Enjoy the day,
Robyn
Bless Annie's heart ... She looks like she is double jointed and ohhh so comfy.
ReplyDeleteLove her choice in flowers, my kind of gal.
Do I see queen Ann's lace in with the sunflowers? They do not grow here in the Mohave Desert and I miss them.
Have a Blessed Day,
Barb

Happy Anniversary and what a gift from Mr.MW. Definitely a keeper. Tell Annie she has great taste in flowers. Sunflowers just make you smile. How special that Annie gets up early to send her dad off on his run. Love your cats and witches, Robyn.

*****thanks for the comments on the rugs over on lori's blogspot...many years and many rugs. some are on facebook too. however, in a similiar thought, many were hooked while this father waited for his daughters to return from their respective dates...much like your daughter waits for her father's return from a daily run.
ReplyDeletekeep well...all of you and the black cats and witches look great! sincerely, tom
Hi Robyn,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary! Me and my Mister celebrated 32 years in June and I plan on keeping him as well!! I too love your "flowers" and those are indeed the kind I would love to receive!! I also love sunflowers and agree that they look like big sunny faces!!
I'm sure Annie's daddy is just as happy to get home as Annie is to have him come through the door each day!!
Oh, and I love the sweet kitties and witches too, especially knowing that you used an old choir robe......wonderful!!
Take care and Happy Creating, my friend!
Heart Hugs~~
Julie
