A robin, and lighting up the dark

Hi Everybody!

This has somehow been a busy week, time flew by much too quickly, and I have the feeling I didn't get half of the things done that I would have liked to. But I did manage to find some time for crafting! The snowy robin was made last week at art group, using a paper napkin sent to me some time back by Yvonne, thanks again! I painted around the edges, added some more branches and berries, stenciled the birds and added some splodges of white for snow. Some leaves and embellies that were flying about got added, too. I am linking to Paint Party Friday:







Once again I have enjoyed watching the morning skies: 










And in the evenings I took time out to light and enjoy the Hanukkah candles: 




Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  19. I know how much you LOVE birds and your adorable robin really sets this spread apart. It is lovely, glittery, and so adorable.

    Your photos of the early morning skies are brilliant. Of course, the menorah in the window overlooking your balcony is truly engaging and simply stunning.

  24. The robin is so sweet - and he looks very happy perched amongst your berry branches. Glad you are getting your priorities right and fitting in the crafting even when other things are getting missed out! Glorious sky photos again - you have a real knack for capturing those magical cloudscapes and the changing light.

  28. The snowy robin is delightful. So festive for the season. Beautiful work!

    Also- I love the sky views. Lately by the time I am driving home from work it is just totally dark. Looking forward to more daylight coming in a couple weeks. :)
