The Craft Season is Upon Us.............

As I prepare for many of the upcoming craft shows, I love working with the many Fall colors there are to choose from.  It you are a glass painter like I am you know how fun it is not only to paint on glass but to mix the paints to get just the right colors you need for your special projects.

I have tried many paints but always come back to Folkart Enamels.  I love the rich creamy texture and the way it performs.  I always get a beautiful outcome.

And here are some of the my pieces created with this paint.

Scary Pumpkins and Ghost, Oh My!!

My grandsons get so excited about Halloween. Nolan wants to be a Ninja and Luke wants to be a rainbow robot! Not sure what little Christopher will be (he's 8 months old) but I'm sure he will look very cute!

And we're ready at Morning Glories for Halloween too!





Sunflowers, Pumpkins and leaves oh my!

Baby........... It's Chilly Outside

As the summer season ends and the Fall and Winter season approach it brings with it chilly weather.
The time changes to day light savings time in most parts of the country. It gets darker earlier and all I can think of is pulling out my soup and stew recipes. Comfort food for the body to keep us warm and content.
Nothing hits the spot like a bowl of warm soup!

These bowls are the perfect way to serve your favorite soups and stews.

Lovin' A Good Cup of Coffee

I do not profess to being a serious coffee drinker. Some would say I'm not a real coffee connoisseur at all. 

But............I do love my flavored coffees. We have a Keurig machine.

I like the change in the seasons as it is always a new flavor of coffee to try. I have blueberry every morning.........YES I said blueberry, yum! But after dinner all bets are off, carmel apple pie, creme brulee', spicy eggnog, almond biscotti and cherry swirl are just to name a few. What better way to warm the body and soul than with a terrific cup of Joe!!

Blue Hydrangeas

Ivory Dogwood

Pink Roses

And what better way to enjoy  a perfect
cup of coffee than in these pretty mugs

In the Mood for Baking

Today I am feeling like Apples and the start of the Fall season. So I don't know if your hooked like me on all the recipes that are turning up on facebook but I share everything so it saves on my time line. Then I can try them later. I made the following recipe and it turned out great. I made two of them, one for home and one for work. Needless to say they were a hit. This recipe tastes just like Jewish Apple Cake and is very easy to make. (my kind of recipe)
