After a run.. happy boy!

Here are the pieces to my book for week two. That's the front cover, the inside back cover, and papers for the inside. I tea stained some lined paper and some graph paper and then

I copied some pages from a cool book I picked up at the library book sale!

SHADES OF GREY, SUMMER CAKE, GREEN EARS AND SUN-KISSED

2011-08-09T12:27:00.000-07:00

Sweet grey ... The best cake in the world..

I made plum blueberry upside down cake

and it is fantastical!

Recipe can be found on

My elephant ears are holding steady! They would

appreciate more rain..
This is my entry for
http://inspiration-avenue-team.blogspot.com
The theme is sun kissed.. whatever it is you
love about summer and sun..
I love taking Riley to the lake every morning in the summer
time so here's what I came up with..

TROLLING FOR DUCKS, BLACK AND WHITE BEAR, AND SCENES FROM THE GARDEN

2011-08-01T16:40:00.000-07:00

Riley has always hated/feared water.. but his desire to eat a duck or a swan

is apparently over-riding those previous water problems.

He's now in the water every single morning...

I found this old picture of Riley and Bear..

I do miss the big boy..
One of 4 sunflowers I had out front for a couple weeks ..

A blackbird balancing for his brunch...

LIFE IS GOOD, DOVES AND SUNFLOWERS AND STAINLESS STEEL DREAMS

2011-07-11T17:48:00.000-07:00

Can you tell by Riley's face.. that life is good..

Sweet summer time and ever growing

elephant ears..

more from the garden ..
Sweet sunflower...

This is part of the reason you haven't seen any artwork from me,

having my kitchen re-done and it's very disruptive and just makes everything that much more difficult. So I haven't really had the time or the drive to make anything exciting, hopefully soon though, I miss having time at my table to join in on challenges and make stationary pages.
As for the kitchen... I had to have this

apron sink, stainless steel. In another 2 weeks it should be all back together.

I can't wait... to cook.. cook and cook some more and I want to make every single thing on

this list..

RILEY BLUE, GARDEN GOODNESS AND STARS AND STRIPES

2011-07-05T12:12:00.000-07:00

Here's the boy at one of his favorite places!

I found 3 sunflowers in my garden!!! Consensus is that they

grew from the seeds in my bird food. They are coming up right underneath the feeders..

I think I now have the biggest elephant ears in the

neighborhood!! Maybe the whole town!!

Butterfly bushes.. working hard..

Here is my entry for

http://takeaword.blogspot.com

The theme is stars and stripes...

BACK SCRATCHING, GARDEN LOVE AND GNOMIE

2011-06-27T17:38:00.000-07:00

This is the grey boy loving life..

he does this everytime I run him

to the park .. this

is when he's the happiest...

Ok, I wouldn't have thought this was possible

but yet, here it is.. two morning doves on

one tea cup feeder.. a small, dainty tea cup..

their balance is improving by the week..

Here are my growing elephant ears!!!!!

I'm so excited that they're doing so well and getting so big!!!

More garden goodness..

Here are some views from my garden.. I;m excited about

about these Elephant Ears I planted, they're supposed to get really big..

end up..

A RARE SIGHT, SHOTS FROM THE GARDEN AND SUMMERTIME PAGE

2011-06-07T14:04:00.000-07:00

A rare photo of Riley laying down in the grass out back!

For some reason he doesn't like the feel of grass on his belly.. I guess I might not

either with all those weeds mixed in..

I saw a recipe for ... wait for it... wait...

WATERMELON GAZPACHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness.. I've never tasted anything like it.. loved it!!

Let me know if you'd like the recipe.. perfect for a hot summer night..

This is one of my lilies!!! I love the vivid orange color..

year after year I just get more and more and the orange red is

spectacular!

Here's a little bird that

dropped by for lunch..
If you aren't way too tired of another journal/stationary page..
here is my entry for
http://crazyamigochallenge.wordpress.com
The theme is Summer.
I've been making these pages to write letters to wounded and deployed soldiers
through the
http://soldiersangels.org
website.
If anyone is interested you can sign up to write letters.. or you can "adopt" a deployed soldier
and send a care package once a month and write a letter to them every week.
Good stuff.. and a lot of soldiers on the waiting list for that little extra support.

TRYING TO FLY.. BIRD BATH AND THE WRITTEN WORD

2011-06-03T20:26:00.000-07:00

The flying grey...

He was running like the wind all afternoon!!!

I managed to get a picture of this sweet bird

bathing out in the flower garden..

all those little white spots are the water droplets from his shaking his wings out..

kind of cool..

This is my entry for

http://threemuseschallenge.blogspot.com

The theme this week is.. the written word

I used the words from "It's a wonderful world"

as always you can click the pic for detail!

Have a beautiful weekend..

STALKING, SUMMER TEA, PEPPERS, BEES AND WINGED DREAMS

2011-06-02T09:12:00.000-07:00

Here is an action shot of the boy trying to pounce on

two birds in the backyard..

(no birds were harmed in the taking of this photo, they were too fast for him!!)

He stalked and chased them on and off for over an hour while

we sat out back enjoying the beautiful weather.

Here's a picture of the ice teas I've been brewing myself.. I loved

the color of the Mango and the Raspberry Pomegranite is my fav!

If anyone wants the recipe just let me know in comments and

DOG SITTING, MORNING DOVE AND HIS MAGIC GARDEN

2011-05-17T06:06:00.000-07:00

Ok, Blogspot will not work on my computer so I'm out on the kids computer

using a keyboard that feels like a movie theatre floor..

yuck.. but at least I get to post something finally, yay!

Here's how Riley feels about our dog sitting...

he's not thrilled.. but he's been really really good..

so far..

Here is one of the morning doves that usually comes

every single day and picks up whatever seeds fall to the flower

bed.. this day I caught one for the first

time ever, actually on one of the tea cups..

I guess she was feeling brave.. and slim..

Here are Gwen on the left and Gigi on the right..

5 more days to go..

not pictured.. is the third dog in the house.. Daisy

It's almost impossible to walk all 4 of them at the same time..

Here is my entry for

http://themethursday.blogspot.com

The theme is "Garden"

I wanted to make a page I could print off and use as stationary

I think I like the no lines version better.. but my daughter

liked the lines better.. so here it is both ways!

Have a beautiful day and I hope Blogspot is working better for

all of you than it has been for me!!

SLEEPING IMPOSTER, STRANGE LITTLE PEOPLE AND FLOWERS..

2011-05-03T19:40:00.000-07:00

I think he's smiling while sleeping in this one..

definitely a different look for him..

This is my entry for

This was fun..we were given a picture of vintage children

and had to change them into strange little people...

Here's the latest of the flowers to start

blooming.. with the handsome gnome

keeping a watchful eye..

CURLY-Q TONGUE, SPRING DOLL JOURNAL AND 3 FOR LUNCH

2011-04-29T07:19:00.000-07:00

Have I mentioned I love pictures of Riley that show his

bottom lip or his tongue sticking out..

well I do.. even if they make him look a little crazy..

This is a Spring journal book I made for

http://themethursday.wordpress.com

The theme is vintage .. I used a vintage paper doll with wings and long legs from

http://www.tentwostudios.com

When the book is lined up closed the doll comes together and then you can

flip the pages to use as a journal and they show the seperate parts

of the doll. Fun!

Last page on the inside..
another inside page..

This is what I saw through my window when looking to see

if any birds had shown up for lunch in the bird

cup feeders!

COWBOY BOOTS, BUNNY GIRL, AND PURPLE BEAUTIES!

2011-04-20T20:21:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Joanna and Cat for the nice words you left

the other day .. you are sweet people!

Here are my new cowboy boots

as props to make Riley look good while he naps!

Here is my Easter Moo card for

http://makeamooortwo.wordpress.com

We've been having way too many April showers..

but.. in response to all the grey rainy days,

here is the first of the flowers in my garden to blossom for this year!

Yay!

THE BIG BEAR

2011-04-14T18:20:00.000-07:00

How do you know when it's time ...

We let Bear go this afternoon..

My head tells me it was time because he didn't really have anything

left that gave him any joy..

but my heart hurts for the decision I made..

I miss him..

We named him Little Bear after the cartoon that my

kids loved when they were little.. but he got way too big for his name and

he turned into Big Bear.

Terrorizing teenagers, meter readers, ground hogs and mail people for many years.

He took joy in all that.

I think he had a good 15 years for the most part..

I really miss him.. I wish that wishing would have made him young again...

VIEW FROM BELOW AND VINTAGE TEXT MOO

2011-04-12T18:22:00.000-07:00

This was Riley with his head and paws hanging off the edge of the bed

challenge blog! The theme is

vintage text..

TONGUE, SPRING FAE AND SEED PACKETS!

2011-04-12T07:56:00.000-07:00

This one is a little blurry.. but I just can't resist a picture of

Riley that shows him sticking out his tongue!! Love it!!!

I have to admit I have been concentrating on digital

work for my domino pendants because I had a lull in my sales at my Ebay store, but

I've managed to create a bunch of new designs and things have picked back up

so I should be able to create some

more paper stuff for fun again now.. Looking forward to it!

In the meantime, this is one of my newest digital spring fae!

These are seed packets I made for

www.tentwostudios

using the delicious spring time colors and designs.

2011-03-24T07:14:00.000-07:00

I caught Riley in this compromising position!!!

Here are some digital 2x4's I've been working on for my domino

jewelry...

Here are pictures of the Pay it Forward goodies that

Joanna from

http://fiddlesnips.blogspot.com

made for me. I have to say getting these in my box made for one

of the best mail days ever!!!

The first is my name done on scrabble tiles highlighting each letter of

Deirdre.

I love it!

The second is a beautiful postcard, the soft subdued colors are so

perfect and the quote is lovely as well.

The pictures don't quite do them justice but you can get an idea..

Beautiful work from a sweet blog friend.

Thanks Joanna!!

IRISH WEIMARANER AND A SWEET BEAR

2011-03-17T17:18:00.000-07:00

EYE SPY RILEY, BLACKBIRD KING, AND VALENTINE GOODIES

2011-02-08T18:30:00.000-08:00

Rileys favorite place... sorrounded by pillows!

He was asleep and when I had the camera ready I just

said his name.. and that one eye

snapped right open on me.. love it! (and yes, I have all

mismatched blues and greens for pillowcases!)

Here is my entry for

http://takeaword.blogspot.com

The word this week is blackbird

ALL EYES AND ELEPHANT GIRL..

2011-02-01T09:30:00.000-08:00

Here's the boy trying to sleep.. but he's still on

high alert..

Here is my entry for

http://crazyamigochallenge.wordpress.com/

The theme is circus.. and again I felt like this wasn't done..

but nothing I added felt right..

so I ended up with spotlights coming down from above and

that was that. Maybe I'll play with

her more when I figure out what she needs ...

STANDING TALL AND DIGITAL PLAYING

2011-01-24T14:37:00.000-08:00

Ok this is the last in the t-shirt series .. but...

I could not resist posting this one because Riley's body and legs look so crazy

in this picture!!!

Ha! I love it!

This is a 4x8 I ended up with after doing a

Paper Whimsy tutorial,

good stuff!

A lot of my digital stuff feels like it needs more to me..

I have to figure out if that's the case or it's just

a weird feeling...

ANOTHER T-SHIRT SHOT, CAT EYES AND BOTANICAL BACKGROUND

2011-01-23T19:12:00.000-08:00

Ha, this is another shot from the t-shirt

shoot the other day. He took time off from trying

to chew through his shirt to

sit nice for a treat.. what a good

boy!!!

Here's a picture that does our Cheetah cat's eyes

justice... they remind me of

dinosaur eyes.. .

Here is my 4X8 for

http://takeaword.blogspot.com/

The word this week is botanical...

and... I figured out how to do a proper

watermark!

T-SHIRT MODEL, PAY IT FORWARD AND LOVE FAE

2011-01-22T14:26:00.000-08:00

Riley really doesn't like wearing clothes, he tries to eat them off

his body, so here is a rare picture of

the boy co-operating for a few minutes and posing for this fantastic

picture of him in his Old Navy t-shirt.

What a trooper!

Here is something I saw on Joanna's blog

http://fiddlesnips.blogspot.com/

Pay it Forward

I agree to send something hand made to the first 5 people that

comment to say they want to

play. (Regular non-playing comments are

still and always welcome!)

The only catch... those 5 people have to make the same offer

on each of their blogs.

It looks like you have the year to fufill the obligation, but

who wants to wait so long?? I plan on getting mine

done in a timely fashion. That's it, easy peasy!

Here is my entry for

http://themethursday.wordpress.com/

The theme is love....

Please pardon the watermark..

RILEY UPDATE! CLOTHESPINS AND TAGS

2010-12-05T17:17:00.000-08:00

This picture was taken during the worst of it.. I have to take some new happy dog

pictures now that he's somewhat back to normal.

After 2 vet visits and 2 specialist oncology visits.. to this day they don't know what's wrong with him

but they put him on steroids.. and he's gotten better.

They warn the underlying problem that remains a mystery could be getting worse.. but.. we've decided that

it's worth it to have the boy back to himself.. he's happy.. hungry again.. he has his crazy zest for life and getting into trouble, so we'll go with it and take things as they come.

Thanks for the good thoughts.. they are greatly appreciated..

Here are some altered clothes pins I made for

http://www.tentwostudios.com/

Here are the Christmas present tags I'm going

to use on my presents this year!

RILEY COULD USE SOME GOOD THOUGHTS.. ME TOO..

2010-11-15T07:34:00.000-08:00

Here's a picture of Bear and Riley when he was 4 months old...

So tiny and way too cute... you can see why I couldn't resist him!!

Riley has been sick for 3 and a half weeks now... going to a specialist vet today to

try and figure out what's wrong.. I'm worried for him and I' m upset..

Please keep a good thought for the

sweet boy.

ODD, BALANCED SQUIRREL, TOWERS, AND 1950 ARCH

2010-09-13T11:55:00.000-07:00

Ok if you look closely you can see what's going on here...

Riley smushed himself into a spot on the couch that was about.. 2 inches wide.

Not enough room for his rear end and that's why it's

up on the arm of the couch above his head.. he's so crazy..

I'm impressed with the balance of the squirrels in the

yard! From what I hear, they only eat the sunflower seeds

and leave the rest for the birds, so I don't mind so much when I see them out there.

This is a collage I made for an online workshop Towers and Turrets

Cool stuff...

This is an arch I made for
http://adifferentchallengeaweek.blogspot.com
The theme is a 1950's arch!

FLYING WEIMARANER, ZETTI CAT AND WITCHY JOB APPS

2010-09-02T17:53:00.000-07:00

Those ears are classic!!!! I love it!

With only one paw on the ground, too cool!

Here is a Zetti Cat Card that I made for a one on one swap

best witches ever from

RILEY BOY, SQUIRRELS FOR TEA AND CREEPY HALLOWEEN

CLOSE UP GREY, TURQUOISE STEAMPUNK GIRL AND AN ENDAGERED GROUNDHOG

2010-08-06T21:47:00.000-07:00

Close up of the boy...

Here is my entry for

http://wednesdaystamper.blogspot.com

The theme is turquoise and if you write the word

turquoise a couple times it starts to look really weird and

spelled wrong...

This is the last of the groundhogs.. I'll just say that back in the day..

weimaraners were bred to kill small animals and as a lover of all animals

I'm doing my best to help keep this guy safe.. better if he moved to another yard

but I had a disturbing incident with the have a heart trap and a squirrel so I gave up on the trap.. enough said..

I like the way he picks up the berries in a paw and eats them so daintily as he lays out on the deck..

BIG BEAR, TURKEYS?!, RED BIRD AND Z INCHIE

2010-08-04T10:36:00.000-07:00

Here's the distinguished old man...

he's so sweet.. and he makes my chair look cool!

Did I mention that I looked out the window to see what the dogs were barking at the other day

and there was a huge turkey in my flower garden with two little babies. The momma was

as tall as my shoulder.. huge! I managed to get a picture of the little babies as

they headed next door.. so odd... but so cute!

The cardinal was visiting, not a great picture but

I love cardinals and hardly ever see them...
