Sunday Night Post

Hi everyone.  

Red sky in morning. Sailors take warning. More snow ahead.

I took this photo on Friday morning; it's the window behind my bed, before it clouded in and snowed. I love this cool view through my ancient bamboo blinds.  We had more snow today (Sunday) also. And more coming this week. They say February is usually the snowiest month in New Hampshire. They've got that right. It's just too bad we didn't get the red sky this morning.

 I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It's Super Bowl time here. It's interesting to watch a former star of your team now in the Super Bowl for another team. I can't say I'm too invested in who wins, but I am rooting for a team. If they lose, no great loss. And you can't forget the commercials or the Puppy Bowl from earlier today either. You can tell how I spent my Sunday afternoon. Me, the TV, some unneeded junk food,  and some doodling in my journal. Yes, also some computer time too, but this is a scheduled post I wrote just before the game began. 

Even Pete enjoyed watching the Puppy Bowl today. I know, it looks like he's just mesmerized by some alien bright light coming out of the TV.

I have another page for Valerie's heavy metal challenge at Art Journal Journey. Today my page's background  was made with some metallic paints.

Above I lightened the page a bit so we can see the streaks of gold and bronze paint.

If I darken the page like this next photo, you can see the metallic white paint I used with a stencil to give some texture on the white parts of the paper. 

I found the thumbs up piece when I was cleaning out a cabinet drawer and found a stack of old greeting cards. I liked the hand, especially since (and you can't see here) that is made of fuzzy whitish paper. 

I shouldn't have stuck the hand down as quickly as I did, because now I needed to figure out what to do with the rest of the page.

I obviously did figure it out. I added the piece of label maker tape as well as some little red doily pieces that I cut out from inside a big paper heart.

The cute little bees were leftover from another page I made, and I thought they worked here. The little pops of yellow gave the page a bit of interest. 

I've had bees on the mind as I am getting ready to actually get a hive set up a hive this spring. I  ordered a box of bees due to arrive mid-May. Once the snow melts the hubby needs to get a little stand put up. and I need to put in an electric fence to keep out the bears. That is one of my projects for the next couple of months, as I haven't used an electric fence before. I need to figure out the best way to install and how to keep the dogs from being jolted too.

That's all  the news with me here in New Hampshire. 

Have a great start to the new week.
