It Was a Good Idea…

On July 22, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics15 Comments

...while it lasted! So I got this idea back in January.  I had seen pictures of tall mosaics that looked like a series of houses one on top of the other, and they looked really cool to me. Immediately I thought "I can do that!" And, since there were several long two-by-fours in my back …

Here is Yard Art

On July 15, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard12 Comments

So on Pinterest  you can find all these ideas... And if you're in "Whimsical Mode" and into mosaics, you will probably want to try some of those ideas yourself. Especially if you're trying to make your backyard drought-resistant and just a tiny bit bohemian (read: "eccentric" if you must).This is from September of last year, but …

A New Friend

On July 9, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda14 Comments

"Hey, Panda!" Foster's voice sounded sleepy. We were kicking back in the front living room while Mom was working on her blog. "What?" I replied, realizing I was kind of sleepy myself."Remember when we were in Peru and you fell into that cactus?" Foster asked. I had to laugh. "Yeah, that was kind of scary," …

Soybeans, Anyone?

On June 28, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized11 Comments

You may not believe this, but... When I was searching through the sewing room for the ill-fated vintage paper doll "Ouch My Toe", I came across a lot of good "blog material," not the least of which was the story you are about to read. (Or skim through, depending on what kind of mood you …

The Search for Ouch My Toe

On June 19, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized8 Comments

"You'll always find it in the last place you look!" You may remember reading "Second Childhood Part 2", where I showed you some of the "vintage" paper dolls (or, more accurately, vintage paper doll clothes) that we had as kids. For so many of the clothes, I could never find the dolls that went with …

The Wonderful World of Color(ing)

On June 6, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing8 Comments

Who wants to color? I know I do! Except that we cats don't have opposable thumbs, so I can't hold the colored pencils that well. But for those of you who do, we have some new coloring pages for you. Plus, Mom made them into Word documents that you can download and print out for …

It Was Going to Be a Birdbath…

On June 4, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics12 Comments

Remember this? Yes, it's the famous toilet from "The Art of Being Big Girl Continued"! If you remember, it took me about three days to change out the toilet in the guest bathroom. My first thought was to put the old one out on the curb for the yearly neighborhood trash pick up. But we …

Undercover Panda

On May 24, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda10 Comments

"Panda, what are you doing under that robe?" "I'm practicing for when I go undercover," Panda replied matter-of-factly.We had just gotten back from our trip to San Diego a couple of days before, and were relaxing in the bedroom while Mom was working on her blog. As usual, she had been so busy writing that …

Penguins’ Progress

On May 23, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda13 Comments

"Hey Panda!" Foster's voice came from across the room. "Did you ever wonder what it's like in the zoo?" "Oh, I don't know," I responded lazily. "I guess I've never really thought about it before. Why?"Foster jumped up onto my chair, knocking me to the floor in the process. "Well," he began as if nothing …

See? Animals!

On May 14, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics13 Comments

The Sea Animals are finished! Hi everyone, this is Foster and I'm here to show you our finished sea animals mosaic. Oh, the title? Well that's what happens when your mom used to teach beginning English learners. She got thinking, that there were a number of ways to say "sea animals", all with different meanings. …
