Paint Party Friday - Anemone Save the Date

Welcome to Paint Party Friday!  I am showing an Anemone Save the Date card I made.  The anemone flower is done in alcohol markers.  We were trying out different designs to use for a wedding invitation suite for daughter L's planned wedding next year.  L has already chosen her favourites for a wedding invitation suite but I thought I would show some of the designs we are not using in my PPF posts. 

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Gates and Fences

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Gates and Fences' theme.  I chose to do one of my favourite types of gates with a fence attached.  I have always loved that curving wood top on the gate.  Apparently it is hard to get wood to bend/curve like that.  This is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in alcohol inks on poster paper cut to size.

And here we are at the end of April!

Mind vs Body

 Do you feel this way sometimes?

Riddle

 Any guesses on this fun riddle?

I have left the answer in the comments.

Thoughtful Gifts

Daughter L received these beautiful gifts from a special girlfriend for her upcoming birthday. I thought the wine bottle was so pretty. Her girlfriend designed and printed the 'Bride' sweatshirt as L plans to get married next year.

Two Things

 

Name 2 things which are always within reach beside your bed.  Mine are my smart phone and my eyeglasses.

I'll bet your answers are a bit different and interesting!

Spaghetti with Italian Sausage

 I had some hot Italian sausages and decided to make them with spaghetti.  The dish was so flavourful. First boil some spaghetti in salted water until nearly al dente.  Next, remove the skins from 5 sausages.  It is optional to use hot or mild sausages.  Crumble the sausage meat into a saucepan and brown it.  Add a bottle of your favourite spaghetti sauce and simmer covered for 15 minutes.  Mix in the boiled spaghetti and simmer covered for an additional 5 mins.  Serve with grated parmesan cheese.
