I have been working on some pretty tiles .... and I finally got my Blue and White ones that I have been trying to create... I have over 100 of them... and they are all GREAT.... I love them... soooooo
I decided to create some medallions... and here they are...
When I started to make these medallions, I just was going to make a few... LOL.. I never do anything in a FEW.... there is really no such thing in my life.... So here are a few that I made... to see the rest... you can purchase the CD of all the Blue and white tiles and there are also 100 black and white tiles too... what a fun CD... you will also have a nice soft ware package to print all the tiles from 3/4 of an inch to 6 inches square... some times people wonder why you need so small or such large ones... well... they make great background papers... and also you can make huge medallions... for walls, etc...
This one is for you Barbara... Barbara is in my Tea Bag Folding Class... and she loved my black and white so very much... BUT she is really in love with BLUE AND WHITE even more... she wanted to create a card with a blue and white medallion with a yellow background...
Okay... I added a white background as well...
Here's one with a tan background... showing you some different backgrounds as they are all fun colors to use with the Blue and White medallions...
Of course I had to use all different folds from different classes... this one is from Class 5...
Another one from class 5...
Love these blue and white tiles...
Thanks Barbara for begging for these...
Wait until you see them... you will be jumping up and down...
I got a little fancy too... adding a strip of butterflies flying across the card... this fold is from class 4... all the CD's for these classes are available on my blog...
Well I just wanted to share these with you... and I hope that you enjoy them... I am still healing from this attack of sciatica... going up and down stairs... and then all of a sudden another pop and no motion... so I am still having to take it easy...
Hope you are doing well.. enjoying your days... and having fun...
I have finally found a delicious gluten free recipe of pasta noodles and also one for egg rolls... WOW... they are super good...
Thanks for stopping by for a visit...

Have you ever had one of those days where you started out to do one thing.. and 7 more things jumped onto you schedule??? Well that is what happened here today... I started out to make some nice rice pudding... and then made some seeds( as shown) We eat a lot of these seeds... in fact I try and always have some around... it makes a great snack and also they are perfect snacking food for us... sunflower and Pumpkin seeds... with a little braggs amino acid on them for a nice salty taste... I do roast them in a little 100% real organic butter... rich and nice tasting...
I put the seeds in a piece of pottery that our daughter gave us for our anniversary this year... WE LOVE IT... it is just perfect for our seeds on the table...
The colors in the piece are just beautifulllllllll ... this picture is a little washed out... but not quite as dark as the one above... anyway... she really did a GREAT job on these both... she just started to learn how to throw... and is really doing a super creative job... oh yeah... check out the muffins... I made them this morning too... blueberries that Glenn picked from out Rabbit Eye bushes needed to be used up... so muffins were calling to be made... now you have to realize that I don't use wheat at all... we have not used wheat for over 3 years now... maybe longer... can't honestly remember... but I know that it has been as least 3 years now...
Here is the bowl again... with two smaller ones that her teacher made... she bought them for us a few years ago... prior to starting to make her own... I personally love hers better...
WE so enjoy the pottery no matter what... and it looks so very nice on our table... and we love the feel of it too..
Here is my very own cup... with a flower on it... how perfect is that... I love it... I made a nice huge pot of dandelion root tea today... and am enjoying cleaning out my tract and cooking... love it..
The tea bags had these really nice words on them... and they fit so perfectly with all that I was feeling...
Peace, Savor, enjoy, dream, be heard, comfort... I experienced these all in a matter of an hour.... so very perfect for a glorious day...
Now back to the muffins... not using wheat... usually the muffins are flat looking... nothing ever sort of seems the same... but today I have conquered this and made really nice HIGH muffins... and they tasted GREAT... really
GREAT.....
Oh do you see the 6 muffins in the back... they are sitting on a pottery plate that Heather Amy
gave us a few years ago... we use them every day of the week... unless we have company... then we have to use other plates... but these are our very own personal plates... very special to us..
So I did get creamy rice pudding made, muffins... and also a lovely dinner is on the way to reaching the table... sweet potato fries are baking in the oven now... and we will enjoy a great zucchini noodle (raw) main course... with roasted red peppers, and some pickled okra... of course I will have to make something with the Chanterelles ....(wild mushrooms) too... we love them... and Glenn just walked in with a nice basket full of them..
Hope that you have a GREAT day...
I am still healing this silly sciatic problem.. .but am feeling so very much better... never had one last this long... not a good thing at all..
Have a fun time, create no matter in which direction you need to ... but enjoy it all...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
I can remember a time when everything I had, did or wanted to have, had to be purple... but now I have stepped back a wee bit and do allow other colors into my life a little more... LOL... In fact I have to say that Purple is just one of my favorite colors now.....
So with that in mind here is a special card to share with you.
Generally speaking it doesn't take me too long to put a card together... but this one took over three weeks... I just didn't seem to have the time to sit and finish it at any one time...
I cut a circle in the top half of the card front... and then built a medallion in the circle... I used a spell binder butterfly circle as the center of the medallions.. you will see a little more what I am talking about when you see the other pictures...
I put an antique pansy and blue butterflies all on the front, along with a piece of dyed ribbon that runs from the front to the inside of the card.
So when you open the card you see this...
In the center front circle you will see that there is a white showing... and that is the butterfly circle... that is what I glued the celtic knots onto.. .
there is the ribbon coming from the front too...
Okay... over on the other side is a little tiny faerie holding some violets, and another medallion... wow I really had fun putting all these medallions on this special card...
Here are some closeups... I did put tiny little pearls all around the medallion... not sure you can see them though... it was hard to photograph this card... purple is a hard color that way...
Here are the two celtic knots... Love this fold...
and of course the color is so very pretty...
I wanted to show you the height of the medallion on the front of the card... it is about 1 inch tall...
Another view of the medallion looking down on it...
It is really a 4 layered medallion... love it when they are so high...
Hope you have a nice day... It is overcast and grey here to day... hope that the sun decides to come out and play for awhile...
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and hope to see you again soon..
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Today is Friday... wow... the week-end is upon us...and it looks like it is going to be a stormy one too.... for the next four days... rain, rain and more rain... we are 20 inches above normal rain fall.... according to the paper this morning..Last year another year of drought...and not floods all around us... weird weather.
This week has not been the most pleasant for me... I slept in front of a fan a few weeks ago, and it settled into the sciatic nerve... yikes.. very painful to say the least... I am hobbling around with a cane... not my normal method of transportation... but hey... you have to do what you need to do, to get around. My studio is two steps lower than the rest of the house... ( a sunken room..and very nice... ) but when you have a problem... not the easiest to get into and out of... but My sweet Hubby has been running down into the studio getting things to keep me busy... what a sweetheart he is...
So I do have some of my tangling stuff up on this level, so that was good...
Here is another 4 in one tangle...
I really love dong these 4 square TIA...
I always draw the four squares using a tile as a template... and then start to play...
This week on the Diva's challenge she asked us to use Jane's tangle called Henna Drum... my type of tangle.. it moves, has flowers, and is pretty. What more does anyone need... I have really enjoyed using it... and will most likely be an all time favorite... love it... thanks Jane and Laura for bringing this to us..
Hope you all have a FANTASTIC week-end...
Love Light and Peace....Bonnie
Canada had a long three day week-end... and so we are doing the challenge for the DIVA on Tuesday... which is fine with me.. The Challenge this week is to use Jane's tangle, called Henna Drum... sounds so wild to me... and it is a great tangle too.. .
So here is mine... wild as I can be today...
So I divided off a sheet a paper that was 8x11 and started to fill in the tiles... LOL.. what fun I can have with something like this..
Love the tangle... and find it so easy to adapt to anywhere I desire.. did a smaller one on a single line... just having fun...
Hope you are having fun today... and that you can create something you LOVE too.. Thanks for stopping by... and enjoy your day...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
