Drift wood wreath

Got some drift wood (beach wood) last summer in Sidmouth, I tent to bring a bag with me and collect wood and stones (I got my daugther into it also) and then do things with it. I thought about making a wreath for Christmas and it turn it ok so I hang it on the front door. / Merry Christmas!!
Obtuve madera de la playa el pasado verano en Sidmouth, suelo llevar conmigo una bolsa y recojo madera y piedras (se lo he pasado a mi hija y ella tambien lo hace) y luego hago cosillas con ello. Pense en hacer un wreath de Navidad (no se como lo llamamos en España) y termino ok asi que lo he colgado en la puerta de la casa. Feliz Navidad!

Balancing Stones























We went this saturday to Babacome beach (lovely place, Babacome) and my husband and my boy spent hours balancing stones on the beach. At the end my girl and I joined them, but all the work it´s mainly the boys.
I love photos of stones, specially on the beach. I took a few photos before the tide came and destroyed the sculptures stones. Really, something nice to do when you go to the beach!

Chair makeover


Yesterday afternoon, I got my sewing machine and made this cushion for this chair. I saw it in a photo from a book I have, did turn pretty good, specially for being "my first cushion", won´t be the last.
I did half of the green seating cushion pad, by hand in this lovely striped material. I like the way it looks!! so proud of myself, ja, ja... (being positive with me for a change)

Stoke Gabriel

This is one my husband´s favourite spot. Stoke Gabriel It´s a lovely little place./
Este es uno de los lugares favoritos de my marido. Stoke Gabriel es encantador pequeño lugar.



 Stoke Gabriel Church. / La iglesia de Stoke Gabriel

 When the tide is out you can walk to the other side. / Cuando la marea esta baja se puede pasar al otro lado.





 The children love "crabbing"... then they relise the crabs back into the water. / A los niños les encanta coger cangrejos, luego los devuelven al agua.


 This is called the "vinegar Bible", because there was an error in the printing and it say "The parable of the vinegar" instead of "the parable of the vineyar". This bible is inside the Church./ Se llama la Biblia del vinagre porque hubo un error de impresion y en lugar de poner "La parabola del viñedo" pusieron "La parabola del vinagre"


 This is a very curious trunk, it was in somebodies garden, it even had a little door. I thought it was diferent!! / Este un tronco muy curioso, estaba en el jardin de alguien, incluso tenia una pequeña puerta. Pense que era diferente!!


Have a nice week!!!!  Que paseis una buena semana!!!

My friend Bry


I just love this photo of my friend Bry, he did it having fun with a radio shutter release. He says he was inspired by Avedon's self-portraits in 1950's Paris.
My friend Bry is very talented!!!, he is a PPA Master/Craftsman portrait photographer that lives in Utah. If I was in there... I surelly would ask him to do my family photos... I love his style!!! It has been already 15 years since I know him... and he was always taking photos with his camera then. I am so happy to see how well he is doing with his "hobby" that has become his life. And above all he is a perfect gentelman.
Go to his website and you will see more of his work. I really like the children photographs he makes.
He is an artist!!! If you ever need a quality and unique photograph and you live in Utah... call Bry Cox.

Bry, you are FANTASTIC !!!!

Ginger

Virginia Katherine McMath was born on July 16, 1911 in Independence, Missouri. Her nickname "Ginger," originated from her younger cousin Helen who pronounced "Virginia" as "Ginja." Family and friends continued to call her this.
She received a 1952 Golden Globe Nomination for her role in
Monkey Business. My children are actually watching this movie this evening. She is so funny... together with another of my favourites "Cary Grant"... they are hilarious!! If you haven´t see this one... it´s a must!

More than an actress, Ginger Rogers expressed herself through painting. Well, I did not know this and it´s something else that I like of her now then, since I love to paint! Here are some of her paintings. /

Virginia Katherine McMath nacio en Independence, Misuri el 16 de Julio de 1911. Su apodo "Ginger", lo origino su prima pequeña Helen que lo pronunciaba "Virginia" como "Ginja". Familia y amigos siguieron llamandola asi.
Recibio una nominacion de "Golden Globe" en 1952 por su parte en "Me siento Rejuvenecer". Que de hecho, mis hijos estan viendola esta noche. Esta muy graciosa, junto con otro de mis favoritos "Cary Grant"... estan superdivertidos!! Si no la habeis visto... es para verla!!!

Mas que una actriz, Ginger Rogers se expreso a traves de sus pinturas. Bueno, no sabia esto y ahora es algo mas que me gusta de ella, ya que a mi tambien me encanta pintar! Aqui hay algunas de sus pinturas.





To view more of her work clik here

Ginger Rogers is one of my favourites actresses. I think she had one of the most lovely eyes I´ve ever seen... I love the way she smiled and her sweet personality. I really like most of her films.


We are all unique but some people are "really unique" and she was one of them.

Have a lovely weekend my "unique" friends!!! /

Ginger Rogers es una de mis actrices favoritas. Creo que tenia los ojos mas encantadores que nunca he visto... Me encanta como sonreia y su dulce personalidad. Me gustan la mayoria de sus peliculas.

Todos somos unicos pero algunas personas son "realmente unicas" y ella era una de ellas.

Que tengais un estupendo fin de semana mis "unicas" amigas!!!
