• Air of Areola (Prose…WARNING…not for the faint hearted)

  Please, be aware: This prose pays homage, in a lighthearted fashion to part of the female anatomy. …….. …………. …………………. A’s and B’s…… C’s and D’s…… Even Up To F’s and E’s… I grace the world… With all I’ve got… And trust you me… That’s not a lot! I proudly display… But with discretion… The mammary mounds… Of my true loves affection. I rue not a day… Nor hour… That I play… For even on occasion… (And with not much [...]

• My Someone Loves Me

  Remember These? (from a trash to treasure event?) I made such a “to do” … the price and the pattern. I created a treasure and blogged about them. It must have really made an impact on my number one fan… For today he brings me this! ??????? What could it be ???????? Only one way to find out…. OH MY…!!!! Oh, isn’t it lovely? !!! I simply adore my number one fan! To the best husband a Muse could ever [...]

• ~Design Dissection: Vignette~

  Today let’s look at this table’s vignette.  Almost all of us, at one time or another, have had an opportunity to create a buffet~or serving station. What can you do, in order to avoid, the dreaded and ho~hum “runway” look, which entails mind numbing miles of flatness. This recent design offers many fantastic design clues.  Can you name them? 1. Varied Heights (think lift…3 levels is ideal) 2. Varied Textures (entice not only the taste palette but all the senses) [...]

• “Blue Monday”~Picture

  Cool, Serene and Peaceful…. What does “Blue” say to you?

• Saturday Shots….

  Merry Christmas!

• Monday’s Post ~ Prose & Blue Monday

  When I was very young, (and still~even now) I would look at pictures ~ paintings…and make up stories! At times, they were not exactly as the artist had intended… Such is this work of a young, (oh, so young Muse), who fell under an enchanting spell of Tristan and Isolde. The Plummet A little maiden stood… Up high above the earth… The little m aid knew not… Her weight or girth… For suddenly… The sky gave way… And she fell [...]

Tablescape Thursday is awe inspiring tour of wondrously creative table displays that [...]

• Remember Those Who Choose The Road Less Traveled

  “If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. “ Thomas Paine

• Tablescape And Trash To Treasure All In One

  Acres of hidden treasure… In boxes and bins… All holding hidden beauty… All latent~silent gems… Under piles amassed… A hoarder’s stash… Of would be~could be… And should have beens. The Muse gathered her coinage… And smartly thus… Bought a wondrous bounty… As to make pirates lust…. A silver teapot battered about… A bird whose wing was weak… Not secure or truly stout… Paper roses wrinkled and worn… Their edges thread tattered and torn… Potpourri whose scent had gone… Yes, the [...]

• Rhyme Time ~ Mews and Meows

  RHYME TIME GAME: Rhyme Time CREATOR: The Muse OBJECTIVE: Interactive Fun PLAYERS: Readers RULES: The Muse begins the prose…the readers then add to the comment section (one, two, three or four lines) which “add” to the poem. Each reader must use the previous writer’s comments.The Muse or readers may add to the piece at any time. EXAMPLE: Muse writes “The sky is true blue.” Reader 1 writes “Is it true or just the hue?” Reader 2 writes “I can see [...]

• ~Rough Design Sketch~

  The next step will be to add the color…fabrics, paint, etc. ~which are leaning in the aqua blue and butter gold family. I am going to use colored pencils in my hand sketch. If it is acceptable, then I will move on to my computer aided drawing tablet and begin the real life rendering. What do you think? From traditional to contemporary… Design takes many paths… Which path is your home on?

• ~She Rides Again~

  Yard sales…stock sales… There are treasures everywhere you look. One such beauty who had been used hard…was off in a dark corner… But as soon as our eyes met…it was love at first sight. We both are “Second Time Around” Gals!  Meet my beauty, Ms Gin-Gin. We meld together as if we have been destined for one another all our lives. Thanks to Diane for letting us run wild! At 2nd Time Around Tuesday.

• ~Painting My Own Kitchen Cabinets~

  (camera date is not set~my apologies) After much thought, I have decided this Muse cannot live in a white kitchen(I appreciate them, and the beauty they posses)but, they simply are not Musey enough for me …so I have made my own paint mix…and now the beauty of creation begins!
