Good morning...nope it is raining..grrrrr
You must be being a chef to be doing all that cooking...lol
I really do not cook much anymore. My husband works nights , my son works later in the afternoon til 11 at night so with different eating patterns I just gave up. So I do not eat healthy either...
Going to try my hand at a bit of water coloring on a card. All my supplies came in Saturday , the paints and brushes but I am waiting now for the Penny Black stamps and they should be in the first of the week.
I spent some time with my daughters yesterday and that was nice
Enjoy your day. Hugs...Gail

Hello SamIt was an Italian supper party themed course We cooked lamb, grilled polenta with roasted tomatoes. Homemade pasta with asparagus, peas with broad and French beans and zabaglione with white chocolate and summer fruits. That sounds amazing - and far beyond my own ability! Maybe I should look into a beginners (get out of the mocrowave, stupid) course and create great dishes of my own! I think about it sometimes, but I am more a food eater than a food lover, much to my shame!! |

SamI'm more of a home baker, cakes especially. So the Italian themed was a challenge for me. Maybe there's an evening adult education course locally you could try?

Morning gailoh and SamIt's drizzly rain here today. Hubby is taking his dad to the Dr early this morning, then I'm taking my mum for a dermatology appointment at noon. Not sure what the rest of the day's plans are. One good thing, I don have to think about food today, there's enough from yesterday - woohoo! Enjoy your day ladies |

Good Morning to you both, and thank you Sam for reminding other why I have this post in the first place but I like the idea if chatting and it also keeps the post up on the first page...lol
Sam, I am from Ohio...
PascoePea, I am waiting for the stamps to come in maybe Tuesday, Yo watercolor the background then use these or others you may have and stamp over the watercolor. So I have not tried it yet. The watercolor and brushes came in though.
I first saw it posted in Pinterest...then just hopped over to YouTube...this is it...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm123PMu0aE
We had very hard rain last night and we are to get more coming in this afternoon...monsoon weather...June was all rain and now so far so is this month....grrrrr
Pascoe....is it that way in England? Rain, fog and cloudy? I have mold growing up my legs...well not so bad it covers the hair...lol

Hi gailohWe had fine drizzling rain all day, didn't see a ray of sunshine today, lol yes I seem to have mold growing on my legs this summer as well  The watercolour for and stamping sound good, please let me know how it looks when done. |

BTT....for the animals.... Well the mold is creeping upwards...we had storms last night and we may be getting more later today....this has been a very wet Spring and start to summer, it is usually dry ,humid and hot....$%^&##@*(...those were choice words back there... I did receive my stamps and went to town to get some inks but my stores here do NOT carry what I needed so I did pick up some other brands but still the color choice was limited...I am going to a Stamp Convention Aug 7th and 8th and they should have what I am looking for. My husband Chris and I go every year since 2002 and it is fun. If you know who Tim Holtz is, he will be there this year.I plant myself in front of him and watch him do his magic with ink...he is super nice. Last year Dyan Reaveley from England was there and i planted myself there...was there a long time that Chris got me a chair so I could watch and pick her brain and she was also super nice. www.stampawayusa.com/ is the site... Hope you have a good day over there...we have sunshine peeking through...I better go outside and stand in it for a bit...could be my imagination ... no it is shining through the trees...really...  hugs ...gail |
