~Morning is Squawking & Churriping~

...yes Churriping is too a word !!!

Supposed to be in the mid to upper 70's today--- Yeah !!
With possability of rain showers this evening !! Droop...

But for right now all the birds out in the yards are Squawking, Trilling, Whistling, and there is one Little fellow that makes the noise like the Invading Aliens Remote Eye thingy in the original version of War of the Worlds (Gene Barry- loved him)--  a  Woobing Woobing  mechanical noise... Poor Birdy cracks me up everytime !!

Drug out my baby acrylic paint bottles and did some touchups...



These two flowers buckets have that raised metal decoration... so I painted them up in My colours !!



This Large Bucket had a Blue Daffodil on it...
I kid you not !!

So out came the Churchill Creme spray paint for a Nice Change...
And then I went thru a file folder of Floral printouts... Got my Mod-Podge and Va Va Voom !!



This is the "Beautiful Bouquet" clip-art from The Graphics Fairy I used..
Looks rather Grand If I Do Say So !!



Found these Moroccan type Lanterns on Amazon-  Have them Hung up now and all I need to do is---




--- Get those little battery operated fakey Candle thingys to put in them.




This one hangs right over my head... And they do look Sparkely when the Sun shines thru the Glass !!

Off to grab a Fresh cup of Nescafe'...

I do Hope we all have a Lovely day today !!

Crocheting in Grape...

One of the best things in Later Life- 50 plus- is that Nieces and Nephews start Fanilies...
My Niece AnnaLee is expecting her next child/second baby/first daughter late this month...
Since her little boy was born I have always referred to him as 'Fang'.
Noe New Baby Girl has been given the title 'Bump-ette'...
Poor little thing !!
With the impending baby I felt the need to get my Crochet Game going and purchased More Yarn ( really- I need- Need- NEED- more Yarn.) and soon the Bounty arrived...

Not sure what hooky creation I would Finally Decide to make I chose just my usual mish-mash of colours...



 Whoever they put in charge of 'Naming of the Yarn' has a Wild Imagination... and most assuredly a Dictionary/Thesaurus...



Bubble gum and Toast and Pagoda...




Ocean and Blackberry Wine and Mint Julep...




Guacamole and Coconut and Watermelon...




Cornflower and Heather Hedge Tweed...




Bone and Grape...




Mallard and Cherry Red...




And Grape...

Did I mention Grape ?



Cause right at this moment I think I am 'In Love' with Grape.




Grape gave a Wiggley to my Thoughts as to what I would be making... 


 


I saw a Beauteous 'Patchwork' Afghan that Sucrette ...
had made for her new Baby Boy Joe ( who is really one of the sweetest looking little sugar plums Ever !!)...



So- Off to the races I went !!




Coconut with Grape-
Peach Frappe with Grape-




Guacamole with grape-


Cherry Red wittthhhh   :wait for it:   GRAPE !!
Grape and Bone- and Pagoda-




Minty, Toasty, Peachy... with Grape-

Bump-ettes blanky will be nine squares by eleven Squares...
I have my 99 Patches completed and am in the Process right now of stitching them into Strips...

Alice is 'Helping' as usual...




... seeing how Many Kittheh furz can Actually be Crocheted directly into the blanket. She has it down to a Science now !!

::*note to self- include a pair of tweezers in gift to remove cat hairs::

Photos to follow (first I have to get new batteries !!)

 
Grape--- and Yarn--- Yum !!!
