Succotash

Don't you just love saying that word?! It crack's me up, and remind's me of Sylvester off Looney tunes.. Sufferin Succotash ! Well anyhoo, if you don't like saying it, you'll love eating at the tasty restaurant Succotash in K.C.

It has a hometown hipster vibe, with totally artsy decor ( right up my alley) and delish dishes that will put a smile on your face and yummy comfort to your breadbasket! :) Happy Thursday, Dawn

I was delighted when I walked through this fab handcarved/handpainted door!

You can't go wrong with bicuit's and gravy.

I'm gonna make this Rainbow Brite looking awesome eight layer cake!! Isn't it flippin amazing?

I told you it would put a smile on your face...or at least a smirk on your bacon face!

30 Minutes of Art A Day

It is rumored that with only 30 minutes a day we can change our figures into svelt hot bod's.

Or perhaps we can follow Rachel Ray and make a tasty meal in 30 minutos.

Well I'm going for the goal of exercising my imaginitive mind for 30 minutes a day and seeing what artistic dish will likewise feed my creative soul!
One of my fave bloggers Alisa Burke put the idea out there, and I thought I would give it a go. I have to say it has put me in the relaxed mode of art work with no pressure to please or perfect, just have fun. I say give it a try! And happy mid week ! Dawn

Mexican Feather Art

My love of our feathered friend's carry 's over to my attraction to these wonderful Mexican crafted pictures, and this basket!
Of course I found these at various thrift store's and garage sale's for a song(hehe).
And after really examining their simple beauty, me and my sister hope to try our hand at this craft one day soon! Happy Tuesday!

Over the weekend ...

...I hope you had the chance to enjoy...
- natures morning bloom after a cooling rain..


- doing a little jig with your smiling doggie...


- an evening at the theatre, where you sat munching warm cinnamon roasted nut's..



- and finally an unusual, yet respectful chauffeur who drove you wherever you wanted to go....


Yes indeedy , I hope you too enjoyed such a weekend:)

Hallmark Museum

Another place we toured when outta town was the Hallmark Card Museum. Of course I enjoyed the vintage card's the most, and you could watch the tear jerking commercial's, and make your own bow with the " bow machine". Or just grab's some perfect for every occasion card's. No really, my friend Em even found me a mashed potato lover card. Strange but true. Well the weekend is here so have a good one!

Little Man Baby shower

Here's the follow up to the baby shower I went to last weekend that was all about The Little Man theme. It was adorable with all the mustaches & bow tie decorations, and even bow tie pasta! And oh baby,( no pun intended ) the homemade cake pop's were scrumptious !I heart baby shower's! Happy Thurs!

Everyone received cute chevron bag's with pic's of the pretty pregnant mamma to be, or a couple other  endearing mommy-daddy pic's,

And don't forget to arrive in full stachtastic attire!lol!

Burn baby burn

Yep, I'm on a wood burning kick alrighty! I started with the shower gift a few days ago, and then found some wood scrap to play with! I think I will do several of these. I'm really diggin how the watercolor has a vivid yet almost pastel appearance.

Since the weather has finally cooled somewhat, I can think creatively again, and as usual have multiple projects going on at one time. I find that works best for me. When I get in a rut, or just tired of one I go work on another, then come back.
This may take longer, but keep's my art enjoyable. Hope you can take a few minutes today to do something
 you enjoy ! Dawn:)

Can't go wrong with Fine Chinese, and Artisian Icecream

I love me some good Chinese, and while in K.C. we really enjoyed Bo Lings. Delish food and striking decor. Follow that up with one the best ice cream's I have ever had... The goat cheese and cherry is unbelievably excellent at Glace, and I was a happy girl! Oh and happy Tuesday to you all!

Umm, i had to take a pic of the bathroom, it was too good.

Ooohhh, mama!
