Almost TGIF

I am so ready for the weekend. I am working on a few projects and need to get some in the mail. Hope this weekend is productive. One thing I did have to try this week was this little flower.. It is made from folded circles. It is easy and has a cool design look when double sided paper is used. I will use this on a card soon, it is just too cute. So TGIF tomorrow and wishing all a good weekend.

Another work week is coming to an end and the weather seems to be changing to the cooler autumn; it is wonderful. And on my usual Friday morning walk up to the I street bridge, I have added an item to my retirement bucket list:

For a day or two, be the I Street Bridge Watchman. In this job, you stay in this little house on the middle of the bridge, you are the lookout and bridge controller. So if a large boat comes down the river, you twist the bridge and let the boat by. What a great job, to sit and watch the river flow and the boats pass by. I can only imagine the view from up there. I bet on a clear day you can see a long way around the Sacramento Valley. I am not sure how you apply for this job but I sure would like to check it out some day. Wishing all a great day.

 It is Friday again and I am so glad. It is a long weekend too and I hope to get some projects done. I am very excited. But for today, I would love to be floating down the river in this. I was on my walk over to the bridge in the morning and I saw this coming down towards me. With the temperature to be in the high 90's for the next couple of days, I sure would love to be just cruising down the river like this. Tried to get the picture with my phone again, need to remember my camera more.

Well hope everyone has a nice long and safe weekend. I hope to post a couple of projects later. TGIF for now.

I am so glad that it is Friday. A busy week and lots going on this time of year so I am ready for some weekend time. This week, I did get to sneak in a little painting. This was really for my daughter's project, she wanted a painting of rain on the ocean. I really like how the ocean gets darker when it rains and I tried to capture that. For the wave white caps, I added lines of gesso. For the rain, I flicked blue from my brush. I still want to learn perspective and shading better but having fun.
