I think we've seen the last of the ice at the lake.

Photos of the Week
I pass this old truck on the side of the road several times a week and always I notice how amazing the color is. A rusty turquoise....... you can't beat that! So one day I actually stopped and photographed it.
I'm learning that one major component to photography is seizing the moment. When you see something amazing, you have to stop what you're doing and photograph it because it might not be there next time and light always changes. Carpe diem!
Whales and Watermelon: Pink Watercolors
I recently bought a new color to add to my palette and I'm in love!
Winsor & Newton Quinacridone Magenta- it's the perfect hue of purple-pinkishness and it looks good on whales.
It also works for watermelon!
In the Works
My current projects- some finished....... some not.
I found this pretty curtain panel at Savers and loved the fabric so much that I turned it into a couple of pillows. One can never have too many pillows!
The beginnings of a crochet jacket which I had intended to finish before winter was over..... oh well. I'll finish it next year.
A beanie! I couldn't get the original pattern to work for me, so I kinda substituted a different stitch. I don't like how it looks on me though- so nope, I'm not modeling it for you!

Fog, frost, and snow. That was our week. We aren't used to fog at all so it was fun for us :)
We live right next to these open hills and tried to find a geo-cache in them one afternoon. Either the cache was gone or we dug in all the wrong places. Either way- we loved the adventure and it was gorgeous when the sun came out for a few minutes.
Photos of the Week: Valentines
It's almost Valentine's Day.................. and so my yearly heart photography tradition continues!
I'm glad I've had a blog long enough to make this a tradition. Let's see ........ I've done the heart photography thing for ....................five years now. It's been awesome! But I'm starting to run out of ideas. I've now made hearts o most of my art and craft supplies, my son's play dough, and gummy bears. It will be a challenge to see how long I can keep this going!
A Creative Space
My art room is a work in progress, but I do have a shelf up now!
I'm so blessed to have a room for my passion, my hobby, and my sanity. Here's a peek into what I call my "art room".
P.S. Its usually not this clean........
My table is littered with watercolor lettering attempts and all kinds of ideas. I have too many ideas in my head to paint right now!
This bulletin board makes me happy- so many cool color schemes to draw from.
Valentine's Toast
Does Valentine's Day make your hungry for chocolate? Or maybe something pink?
I know pink is not a flavor but somehow just knowing that something is pink makes me think it tastes better :)
This year I experimented with toast, strawberry cream cheese, and strawberries- cut in the shape of hearts.
Here's how you make Valentine's Toast:
You can cut the hearts out before you toast the bread or after (either way works). And either way it tastes as good as it looks!

I got to see a new temple! It was amazing. I felt such peace there.
All of those good feelings were enhance by the fact that my husband had the day off and we let our son skip school that day so we could all have this experience together. This is one experience I wanted my son to have while he is young. It was special.
And I threw in a few pictures from a walk.
Winter is beginning to feel very long, but I'm hoping for warmer days ahead with more energy and fewer migraines. I'm slowly coming to terms with the effects of my last surgery and I'm adjusting. Every week I feel just a little bit better than the last.
