Cucumber...WIPs?

I know, it sounds good, right?
But this isn't what you are expecting!

A few weeks ago, when the whole  nation was bombarded with,
beautiful, white snow, my husband and I ventured out!
He has the 4 wheel drive, but for some reason we took my truck!
Don't know why, probably my subconscious challenging me...it's that
dare devil, that's sits on our shoulders...are ya going to slide into every car going down the hill?
I had anxiety, for 5 blocks going down that hill, and didn't shift out of 1st gear!

We made it the grocery store, where everyone and their mothers were buying
out milk and bread!
Why?
All we needed was cat food!
After 6 bags of, (oh we may be snowed in,) grocery s, we're HOME!

Fast forward.....the snow is melting, the ice is gone, it's safe to drive again.
I get in my truck and smell Springtime!
The scent, is clean and refreshing!
It smelled so good!
For 3 days, I couldn't, for the like of me figure out why
the inside of my 10 year old truck smelled like fresh, clean, just chopped melon!
It' brought memories of Summer, fresh cut grass, sun-brewed tea...
this was crazy, was I so in-tune with the higher realms that I wanted mother earth....ahhh!
No!
I happened to look down, and in between the the seat and console was,
the source of my out of body experience!
One, frozen, now thawing and liquefying  cucumber!
(I knew I bought a cucumber, I cleaned out the refrigerator looking for it.)

But it smelled so good!

Time to make dip!

As for the Wips!
No cream, needed.

and one is finished!

  
He's in my Etsy Shop!

But I'd suggest you go and buy some cucumbers!

Treasures from OWOH...

There is nothing, more exciting, than checking email,
and reading, You're a OWOH Winner!
I was so excited to read that I won!...5 times!

The first one came from Connie, of, She Dreams Big!
I will be receiving this wreath!
I know it's so vintage! 
You have to swing by Connie's blog,
it will make you drool!
Vintage all the way!
Thank you Connie, I'm a Lucky Girl!

The second email was from, Ashley,
I'll receive one of her illustrations!
Now the big surprise will be, which
one will I get?
Ashley, not only paints, but sculpts too!
Do stop by her blog,
for a visit.
Thanks so much, Ashley!



The third email was from,
Of course, just the name of her blog, will
make you start craving chocolate and croissants!
but I can wipe the chocolate from my mouth with this
Frenchy towel!
No, I wouldn't dare stain this towel with chocolate! 
But you have to visit Esme,
she write about food and other goodies!
(I do think I have a piece of chocolate left from Valentines!)
Merci, Esme!


Number Four is from, Susan, of, Living the Dream.
when I first spotted her paintings, and saw the River Rocks, (which I'll be receiving)
I thought it was a photograph.
Am I right?
They are a set of note cards!
But do I use them or frame them?
Take a look at some of Susan's other work, here.
Thanks Susan!


And just when I thought that was it, I received another email
the next morning. And this one was a big surprise from someone I hound all the time.
She has become a good friend.  When she posts on her blog she takes you on
a journey, she tells a story with each photo.
was letting Me know that I won, one of her prizes!
I do hope I look good in red!
I know it's a bit warm right now to wear the hand-knitted cowl, but winter ain't over yet.
I think somebody Hearts me!
Go and take a look at Theresa's blog.
She creates the most beautiful pieces of jewelry!
You know I can't thank you enough, Theresa.
Thank you.

Thank you all for picking me!
Your talent is amazing!

What To Do First...

I've been working on 3 projects at the 
same time...have to stop and work on just 1!!!!

But I do know that the colors of Easter are influencing me.
Now, if I had some pink?  Nah!  not yet!

...and this vintage wire pail?
I'm trying to decide if I should wrap it or
make a canvas tote that fits inside! Maybe both since
I'm so un-decided.

And, these prints! From last years calendar.
All the photos are in sepia, MY FAVORITE!
I just knew I'd frame them.  I couldn't wait for the year to end
so I could start ripping them up!
  Oops! make that four projects...have to finish sewing 
my ticking cushion!

So there ya go, you can tell I won't be watching the game tomorrow.
Not that I would anyway! 
No offense to football fans! 
Just me!

Have the best Saturday night!
