Look who was born

 

On our pond

 

Yesterday

Five very independent little ducklings.

It must be Spring!

It was a big Day!

And it was a very successful day.

Made money for the old School restoration

and a little money for myself.

An early morning stroll through the historic center of Deruta, Umbria, Italy, with my camera last October.
Thought you might like to see how the Italians do it.

Have a great week my dear

You must try

Celebrate, the collage feature is in place.

Pic Monkey

Photo Editing

I have been using Pic Monkey photo editing since Picnik decided to close.  It is easy to use but did not have the collage feature.

Pic Monkey was designed by the same group who originally conceived and designed Picnik.

 

The long awaited collage feature was launched today.

I created the above collage in only a few minutes; it's quite thrown together but you get the idea. 

It is so very easy to use with lots of options.

Give it a try, you will be so pleased  that you did and it is free.

So, what do you think? 

Have a great remainder of the week my dear

Should I or shouldn't I

Go through my door

and work in my Garden on a Sunday?

Or

should I stay inside

 and paint

 And paint and paint

And paint some more for Heritage Days,
only 6 days away.

Enjoy your Sunday

Every now and then I get to keep what I have painted

We worked on different ideas but in the end it wasn't quite right.

We will give it another try when her kitchen is ready.

A very large plate with a secret.

Under the gold is a different monogram.

This is a very large plate, it just barely fit into my kiln.

You can see that there is room for at least 30 more crostini.

It will come in very handy during our Summer Soirees.

And when not in use it can hang on the wall, a chimney piece or used as display on a stand.

This plate holds one more secret.

This initial is not permanent.

I can remove it and paint your initial inside the wreath instead.

And then it will be fired again, become permanent, you can scrub all you like and it will not come off, unless of course, I paint another layer of gold on top of that. 

Have a great weekend my dear
