Blues...Around the House


Blue Monday.......I have this to say about that

One of my favorite things to do on a Blue Monday...or any other day of the week...is to make original watercolor note cards.



And scan pictures of my Calendar Sue quilt and put into note cards. Here is Sue dressed in the April showers attire.


And here is my "Slow Moving Jones" backyard turtle...Even broken blues are beautiful when recycled.



And one of my favorite bookends...Raggedy Andy. Grandmothers are the most wonderful people to have in the family. I painted Ann and Andy many, many years ago and my Grandma thought they were the perfect asset to her book shelf. Now they adorn mine. I'm still looking for a slot on "America's Got Talent."



Happy Blue Monday. Thanks, Smiling Sally, for hosting this fun event. Take a look and continue to enjoy other Blue Monday friends.

    What a great way to recycle loved but broken china! I'll never look at an unadorned turtle without remembering this!

    I love the glass mosaics too, they would look so good out in the flowerbed by.. say some blue hydrangeas!

    Love all your blues, but I love that cute little turtle. I want to learn to do this and just got a book...don't know if I can do it however, it looks hard to cut the china. Happy Blue Monday.
