Awesome Saturday!

OHHHH gosh I've a major headache a sneaking in and basically ache from head to toe! Well I've popped two Ibuprofen and soaked in the tub and it's not lifting. But what a day!!! It started off being woken by Florence (my youngest sister) and out to breakie with her.

Then back home in time to load up the car and head out to the church for my Aurora stitching day! EXCEPT today was a special program initiated by Mobird (which I just may have to send some things her way for this baby!!!) and a number of us PLAYED and boy did we play!!! Melissa G a Stampin' Up Independent Demonstrator came prepared to lead us into a demo card party - WOW!!! Thank you Melissa and Mobird very much for so much fun! Now here are the cards we all made and got to keep.









the next one is a pouch type card





Now I know Dale Anne has been trying to get me into this and I've been very reluctant and I can say I still am but had a great time anyways. Actually I have one of those rollers and the ivy wheel and supposed to have gotten it for my postcards but as yet have not played with it. WELL, I ordered a couple more wheels (snowmen and Ho Ho Ho) and hopefully will be ready for some Winter Fun on whatever!!! Needless to say I did not get to ANY stitching at all (thank you Florence for working on the quilt tying for me) AND I have some leftover ribs for this next week - a first - but then there were many meal type dishes plus desserts too! A mega feast today for sure!

So I spent most of the day with my Aurora group and then packed up the car realizing the beauty of the day and rushed home, dropped all and grabbed my sun painting supplies and rushed to the park. There I proceeded crouched on the GROUND to play some more, clipping leaves from various plants and some with sprinkled sea salt too and then sat back on the hard bench to let it dry in the sun.

OH MY OH MY OH MY, until I sat down I didn't realize I was so in agony! There were a few curious walkers checking it out but only two couples asked what I was doing and one guy was very interested in the colours I used and liked two of the pieces! Hmmmmm I think he might know something about art as he seemed more knowledgeable than I!!! LOL!

WELLLLL, the sun went down faster than the drying did, so I packed it all up on my grocery cart, the plastic boards on top till the wind took them and then I had to make a mad dash to save them and stack them back to back to carry them hopefully not hitting anything. Well I made it home (two long blocks) and then cleared off my orchids and set the boards under the full spectrum lights. Hope that helps to finish the cooking - at least the drying and see what the heck I have or not.

At least I used up the remaining diluted paints. Will let you know tomorrow how that turned out. Hopefully these spaszing muscles will stop by then so I can get back to my stitching!!! BUT boy you should see my hands - I got about half the colour off on the waste cloth but they are still BADDDDD!!! Wonder how long it'll take this time to come clean?
