Cozy Bird and holiday dreams
Are you all in full force holiday mode now? My brain is but my body hasn't caught on yet. I'm just dreaming of wonderful decorations and evergreen smells and enjoying looking at the wonder other people have created with twinkling lights. colorful baubles, greenery and ribbons, little snow covered villages and trees loaded with shiny balls and crystal. It's such a magic time of year. I love the creativity that comes along at this time of year when people make their friends and loved ones special gifts. A handmade gift is the ultimate gift from the heart.
Do you remember when I shared the little bird art that I got from my friend Elizabeth? Well, this is what I made and sent to her. It's a mixed media piece. I forgot to take a picture of it before I mailed it off so I stole this copy from her blog. Have I mentioned lately how much I like birds... especially black ones and red ones.
"Cozy Bird" (mixed media)
I've been working a LOT at my job. I've worked 5 days in a row now and had company here at home all that time too so I've not had time to do much of anything else. Today was reserved for laundry and a bit of house cleaning. You can imagine what the floor is like with having 6 dogs in the house, a pet door and rainy weather. I still wish I had concrete floors with drains in them so that I could just hose them down... lol..
I'm reading a great book right now.. See below... The book started out exciting and after a few chapters in I'm still caught up in it. I like how this guy writes.

this is still very skinny on my computer. anyway, i wish i was looking forward to the holidays, but i am not. too many unknowns in my life right now. and i can't get out my stuff to make some handmade gifts. so i am in a bah humbug mood.
@coletteatsea - I haven't contacted Xanga yet about the skinny page. I hope they can tell me what is going on. Like I said before I have another friend who has the same problem viewing my blog. Are you using a laptop by any chance?
no laptop. sorry. wish i could help.
Hi jaYne...that is the coolest bird painting! Beautiful mixed media piece, my friend.
what you do is let the mud dry and then you vaccum it up
hey, never heard of that book
I just finished Amy Tan -The Bonesetter's Daughter anyway for my bookclub at the library and I just took it back today so someone else can read.
last but not least-the nest and bird is lovely and I'm going to her site now
evergreen smells ah! I was planning to get boughs and put little black, white, yellow, and white paper birdies in them for the holidays!
I like your birdie.
Love the bird! I love all your stuff I've seen. And the page is really skinny for me and I'm using a laptop. I agree with the concrete floors. The stained concrete is really pretty and easy to clean!
@ddp040 - I can't figure out what is going on but thanks for telling me. I'm going to try and contact Xanga again.
