Tea Bag Art
Joanne painted this tea bag art and created a greeting card for my July 4th birthday.
My friend Joanne, belongs to an artists’ group in St. Augustine, Florida, -Cafe Sketchers
“Mary Ann Miller is the leader . Our group is the Cafe Sketchers and the blog is Sketching in Provence as a group of them went a few years ago…
We meet at a different cafe each time and sketch and eat. Lately we meet via zoom and share what we’re working on.” Joanne writes
The Sketchers in Provence founder, Mary Ann’s blog post says….
“the idea was to use a teabag in a sketch/painting/print in any way you desired. Ideas included painting directly on dried and emptied teabags (inspired by New York artist Ruby Silvious), printing with the wet bag and making something out of that shape, painting with tea or painting a picture of a teacup. I used tea to dye unbleached muslin to cover my T-Doodles books”

Coincidence Discovered at Five AM Thursday
My friend Kristin in Florida looked at my blog post Absent Friends Not Forgotten at five am Thursday.
Was she ever surprised.
She sent me the photo on the right of her college ring (U of Florida) in the exact same ceramic box.
No, we did not give the little boxes to one another.
St. Augustine Bride
Although I’m back in Pittsburgh tonight (only 36F) I wanted to post this photo shoot my sister and I stumbled upon after our mini-golf game. Just the other day we learned St. Augustine is a destination wedding spot.

Happy Groundhog Day
We’re in Gainesville, Florida tonight.
My sister brought a Groundhog postcard of Punxsutawney Phil with her in her bag.
I photographed the card by a friends swimming pool.
So what will it be? Six more weeks of Winter or an early Spring?

Fabric Stash
A pretty bundle of fabric to quilt
Colleen shops for colorful quilt fabric
Colleen says “I have a huge stash of fabric that I like to look at for inspiration. Some I have had for many years and almost everything was purchased in the US. I order online occasionally but it gets expensive with taxes, customs and shipping and delivery to Canada can take a long time – so much for instant gratification! Currently Florida is my “go to” shopping locale because I’m there at least once a year. Found a great quilt shop in St. Augustine” http://www.beesquiltshop.com
Here is Colleen, looking to the sun.
Colleen’s cookbook shelves were featured on the blog about five years ago
