Inspiration Monday

"You can't wait for inspiration.
You have to go after it with a club"
~Jack London~


Silly me...

here I was,
waiting for inspiration to hit me...

White Wednesday

The bad weather and the chilly nights we've been having
have kept me from working with anything summery or beachy...

Surprisingly, even though is July already, I found inspiration in a sweater...

A $1.00 Salvation Army sweater.

The sleeves gave my little lampshades a whole new look...

The bottom, was used to cover a tomatoes can...

Burlap, stamps...
Pencil holder, anyone?

All of this with a $1.00 sweater and I still have the front and the back to work with!

I would love to know how to knit but until I learn how to,
I just cheat!!!

Thank you Kathleen for hosting White Wednesday!!!

Argentinian Passion

Husband was planning a big soccer celebration:

Argentina 2010 Soccer World Champions!

The German Team changed his plans.
Husband still is in "Soccer Suicidal Watch"

I hope he can snap out of it by tonight...

so we can celebrate Argentina's Independence Day.

On July 4th, our homes are dressed in Red, White and Blue.

On July 9th, they wear their best White and Light Blue, the Argentinian colors.

I'm hoping for some good empanadas tonight for a true
Argentinian Celebration!


Yumm!!!

I need help....

professional help!

The other day, Suzan from Old Grey Mare told me I should consider calling
"Ruffles Anonymous"....

Yikes!!
I think she is right!!

"My name is Marcela and I'm Addicted to Ruffles..."

Well Ladies... I guess it could be worse!!

White Wednesday

"From France with Amour"

Don't you miss getting letters in the mail?

Hand written letters.
Beautiful, curvy writing, just waiting to be read....

French Writing.

That was my inspiration to make this little metal table top...

into something a little more special...

Tres chic...or not tres chic????

Oui, oui!! Tres chic!!!

Lots of wonderful whites at Faded Charm...
don't miss them!!!
