It's A Sleepy Saturday

The Ackerman's have done nothing today. I did walk the dog for an hour, so that counts as something, I suppose. Other than that, we woke up late, late, late and ate, ate, ate. My husband makes mean biscuits and gravy. We were going to get to the laundry, the yard and all that... but we didn't. There was some flipping of magazine pages on my part, and books on my kids parts. I created a huge wish list at Amazon.com. Including...

This,

this,

and this.

I have nothing to report. So, instead of telling you all about the wonderful things we've been doing (ha ha) I'm going to show you some of the "wonderful" things I (me me me) have already done. You see, the preamble to this little report, although true, has just been one great big excuse for me to post more about me, me, me, me, me. I'm very important ... to me.

I'm actually really proud of these girls. A slow news day always provides an opening for me to indulge. Hey, it's my blog!

OK, that was so painful, that I have to show you the work of others I've been admiring... who today? Oh, I know, I need to show you this work I saw in London (yeah, it was OVER a year ago, but you're gonna' love it,trust me!). These wire creations are the work of Cathy Miles. I happened into the Chelsea Crafts Fair unwittingly as I wandered around by myself all jet-lagged (husband was working which was a blessing because I got to do whatever I darn-well pleased which included quite a bit of fabric and art gawking). I stood long enough at Cathy's booth to probably make her nervous. I was very intrigued and just the slightest bit goofy from travel. I'm sure she thought I was insane. This one below is on a great big canvas. It says "Greenfinch glowers at competitor on the the fatball". The writing on her pieces gives you the idea that she has a great sense of humor. She probably needs it with crazy Americans like me stalking her at various venues.

Bari, I can not tell you enough how much you are going to love the French inspired book. It's one of my all time favorite book's. The inspiration just for tag's in this book is worth buying it. You should get it right NOW !!!!! You must have a book and magazine addiction like my Mother and I.
Anyway after you get the book, post back and let me/us know what you think. Elizabeth

We all need a 'lazy day' like you had once in a while. I think it helps us decompress! And it isn't like the housework and bills, etc., won't be there tomorrow! (Not that I don't try wishing they'd go away.)
I love that little wired bird! Ha, ha, he's 'wired.' Maybe he needs a lazy day to decompress, too!
