"White Wednesday"
I received in the mail a copy of the new Apron-0logy
and perfect for white Wednesday.
Apron-ology is a special publication by Stampington & Company.
This apron is called "Shades of White" and made by Suzy Spence "SWEET"! her blog georgiapeachez.typepad.com and you can purchase her creations at georgiapeachez.etsy.com
On the front cover, bellissima!!! is Debi Hodge's "Courtship with White" Her pieces can be purchased online at breathingbesideus.blogspot.com
This is my "Market Apron" , simple and industrial looking.
The story goes...I can sew a straight stitch and made one the night before a market. Received few compliments so decided to hire Anita, wonderful seamstress and you can contact her at tatteredgoods. She made a couple for me to sell. I approached Beth Livesay in regard of my wearable solder art for the next issue of Jewelry Affair and asked her to check out my blog. Well she liked the Jewelry, but she loved the aprons? Sent few in and they choose this one.
This cute apron "Conventional Canvas" is made by Donna Downey, check out her blog donnadowney.typepad.com
Another photo of Debi Hodge's apron, so much talent. And you know what I like most of this magazine? There are instructions on how to! February I Apron-0logy will be available in book store.
Please visit Kathleen and check out all the other blouguettes White Wednesday.
Grazie Rita

Tomorrow!
I am going out!
Everybody is talking about it....
I have to get up really early, and that's a problem for me
is my Deano going to get up and make me a Cappuccino before I go?
They told me to wear comfy shoes...I don't own any shoes, I only have slippers. That' what we wear in Rainbow all day long.
Mamma mia!
We are going to see a lot of CRAFTS!
Where? The CHA, I guess the biggest convention center? From glue, to beads, flowers to....I will share everything when I get back.
See you on White Wednesday! Few things to share with you

My Day.....
My Day....La mia giornata
before I can create, my day has a few up and downs....meaning walking up and down the hills! lol
this could be boring for some of you and interesting for others. I decided to take the camera along for the ride.
"La cucina"
7am
Cleaned the stove while waiting for the Espresso machine to worm up!
My Sweetest shadow ever is Benny.....
I finally figure out that he sits in my chair so I will remember to give him is cookie.
Feed the fishes.
For every animal that we rescue there is a story.
The story goes that we had 2 turtles and you feed them live gold fish. The turtles died and we were left we 3 gold fish and now there are 10!
Humming bird food? Check...
Roosty, out!
We rescued Roosty from been eaten by a raccoon. He is missing one eye because of it and has been rejected by the other chickens. He is my other shadow.
Out!!
Feed Roosty
What a beautiful day in Rainbow.....
Feed the rest of the chickens... down down
back up, up.....
finally I am in my little world........
what's the plan? too many things to finish, let see if I can do it in one day.
3 signs almost done
the plan is also to solder today
2 birdhouses are finished
priced the silver German glass glitter and mica
I think I know what to do with this piece of metal,I will share in another post.
price the signs
back outside...this is my favorite geranium. Have you ever seen something so beautiful?
My mamma always said that geraniums are
"the rose of the poor"
so grateful my dogs have a good life!
Laying in the sun all day long.
Time for some gardening, 5 mins max!
took the basil out of the bathtub and planted some chard...the parsley is doing really well too.
Lunch
1pm
tomato, cucumber and onion salad. Am I on a diet? no, it's just so Delizioso and fresh.
time to get the mail...this is my only exercise 300 feet
years ago my neighbor ask permission to put a sign on our tree, sure! Now...., the way I read/translate the meaning of the sign is: that the kids have some problems, they are slow? Just my translation from the Italian to English.
What about slow down, children are crossing? playing?
going up, up.....
My boys playground
a tire swing
and a eucalyptus tree
this eucalyptus tree split and fell in January of 1991,and the boys love to climb on.
up the hill... more exercise?lol
back in the workshop...starting to solder
almost forgot, I need another caffe'
birdhouse ready
beautiful Rainbow, California!
time to think of dinner....
and here he is again,
time for bed Roosty.
La Fine = The End

Ciao for now
