Movie night

Had a lovely evening with the girls (Helena, Janis and Bev).  We went to see "Hope Springs", starring Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones.  I must say that I cringed in parts as I am sure many other patrons in the theatre did too.  It was a very realistic movie, hence the cringing, LOL  Nonetheless, it was very entertaining and amusing at the same time.  I would recommend this one, but then I would any that starred Meryl Streep.


"After thirty years of marriage, a middle-aged couple attends an intense, week-long counseling session to work on their relationship.

Kay and Arnold are a devoted couple, but decades of marriage have left Kay wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a renowned couple's specialist in the small town of Great Hope Springs, she attempts to persuade her skeptical husband, a steadfast man of routine, to get on a plane for a week of marriage therapy. Just convincing the stubborn Arnold to go on the retreat is hard enough - the real challenge for both of them comes as they shed their bedroom hang-ups and try to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place."

Any of you into "cloches"?  A while ago, I put together a few, some with shells and others with birds and I will try and sell these at my craft shows..........








Been busy making more pillows and here are some with inspirational words to go with the other ones I made recently.....





Laurie, my dear friend, who lives just down the hall and who has her own blog  http://inmydreamsisee.blogspot.ca/  gave me another delightful painting of a crow to add to my collection.  She is such a fab artist and I have many of her paintings...........




Also, here is a copy of a painting someone else did that I copied and made it my own variation - it isn't nearly as good as the original but it will do...........



I put it in the frame that I picked up from the estate sale a couple of weeks back.  I knew it would come in handy some time.

To finish off, just a few of my latest cushion covers (3 to a pack) which I have for sale..............










'Til next time, be healthy and happy.
