Remember yesterday when I said this beading thing could be addictive? Well, here is another beaded project. Originally the flower was supposed to be pink but the yellow seemed to work better. For now it is attached to a headband but that may change to a brooch. While I was photographing the subject of this post, it reminded me of a cruise that we went on. The ship was the Carnival Conquest and until we got aboard the ship, I was unaware that the decor was all impressionist artist influenced. Just wandering around and looking at the decor was like being in a floating gallery. Why this post reminds me of the cruise, the gigantic sunflower in this atrium! Here is a picture of it. Yes, another item influenced by Van Gogh, go figure.
So, today, I had to get up earlier than normal for a work thing that was extremely boring. I have been kind of listless and not very motivated. I am sure it will happen again throughout this year. I do have a small project though! A little Goodwill find that I had a difficult time trying to figure out what to do with. It could have gone Christmas or Halloween but in the end it was the pumpkin theme that won out. If it had been for Christmas it would have been a snowman. So first, I did paint it white and then changed my mind and it became a fun stack of pumpkins.
I also did a little baking today. It's getting cooler and it's a great way to warm up the house. My friend Jess was recently asking me to make peanut butter cookies because they are her favorite, mine too! So, I got out my Marjorie Johnson baking book and used her recipe. YUMMY! She has a blue ribbon cookbook and everything that I have made is awesome. The only thing different in my version was chunky peanut butter, it is the only kind I ever use and you get an extra crunch with the cookies. Not bad for being a little sleepy today!
