Almost Done!

On May 11, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics8 Comments

Or, "It's All Over But the Grouting!" This is where we left off on March 29, in "The Table Mosaic". The view is from the back living room window, and I had just started to put the pieces around the little plate in the center. Gradually, the design grew. And as you can see, I …

Tea and Crumpets

On April 12, 2022April 12, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized16 Comments

"Uhhh...what are crumpets?" As soon as I saw this clue on the crossword puzzle I was doing awhile back, I knew what I was going to call this post. April 13 of this year, as you may know, is the sixth anniversary of my husband Mark's passing. In memory of his life, and his love …

The Table Mosaic

On March 29, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics12 Comments

You can only let a table sit there for so long without a mosaic, right? You may know by now that a flat, empty space anywhere is just a project waiting to happen at my house. This is not to say that much contemplation hasn't gone into (most of) my projects. But finally the idea …

Thy Father’s Commandment

On March 21, 2022April 5, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Family History18 Comments

"My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother." Proverbs 6:20 March 21, 1954 I'm sure everyone remembers phrases their parents "always said". Later in life, we can "hear" them in our minds, and often we hear our own voices saying the exact same things, to our children or grandchildren, …

Gems on the Driveway

On March 14, 2022March 14, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard, Mosaics12 Comments

Did you ever notice how plain your driveway looks? Don't you think it could use some decorations? Or am I the only one who thinks like that? Well, if you have the mosaic supplies, what doth hinder you? It all started out innocently enough. I thought it would be fun to put little mosaic flowers …

A “Draining” Experience

On March 7, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard10 Comments

So. When a "certain cat" drops your bobby pins down the sink... I guess I should have known this was coming. It all started in October of 2017 when I decided to replace the faucet in the bathroom sink. This is not, however, to be confused with the new sink in the guest bathroom, which …

How to Draw People, Part 2

On February 11, 2022February 11, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing6 Comments

So who would have thought… When I started this blog in 2016, it was mainly going to be art related. I was looking for a way to give my artwork an “online presence” so I could sell items on my Zazzle store. I have to say that my top selling item isn’t my artwork after …

The Naming of Cats

On February 1, 2022February 1, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized13 Comments

"The naming of cats is a difficult matter." "It isn't just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter, when I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES." I can't speak for everyone, but I have always loved "The Naming of Cats" by T.S. Eliot. …

Blog Material

On January 18, 2022January 22, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard10 Comments

One thing about it, there’s always blog material. Just like germs, (with thanks to the wisdom of a seventh grader from days gone by), there’s blog material everywhere. With that in mind, I went out in the back yard to check the plants. Since it had been raining the previous week, everything was nice and …

You’ve Been on “Ancestry” Too Long When . . .

On January 10, 2022January 24, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Family History10 Comments

Wait, is that even possible? I guess it's all a matter of what you consider "too long". But I have discovered that spending too much time on Ancestry in one sitting can get just a bit frustrating. I may be able to speak for most people of Scandinavian descent when I say this: "Everybody in …
