Here is my latest mosaic creation.
Click for a better look. I still have a lot to learn!
I captured a blue tongue moment this morning and thought you might like to see it. I've told this story before but for those of you that missed it, this is the story of the blue tongue. Chow Chows were originally bred in northern China. The Chinese told the story that when God painted the sky blue, Chow Chows followed behind him and licked up all the drips.
Back to the den of shame. As I have been studying mosaic making, I have been stockpiling a stash of plates. I think I've turned into a plate addict.
These sweet cheery plates were 3.95 for the bag. I have big plans for them.
Living in the city, this is an almost daily occurrence. Helicopters are always hovering over my house filming crime scenes or traffic. It sometimes sounds like a war zone.
My potting table is melting. I can almost pack away winter decorations and bring out spring things!!!***Remember to enter the giveaway by clicking on the button on the sidebar.

Love the blue tongue story--how sweet. I never heard that one before. :)
When I was little, I was always short for my age, and had to walk 4 blocks to school and home again, or to the neighborhood grocery store. Along the route, there lived a Chow, and all of the kids were afraid of him, saying that he was mean. He used to come out and stand on the sidewalk, and the kids would all cross the street to walk on the other side. Fortunately, I thought at the time, I had never encountered him except to see him at a distance. I thought that he was magnificent!
Then one hot summer day, my Mom sent me to the store to pick up a package of ground beef, having called the butcher ahead of time. So little Suzie is walking along, carefully holding her little brown bag with the package of freshly ground meat, when who should step out into her path, but the big fluffy chow!
I stopped. .he stared. I said "Hi", he stared. I took a few steps to quietly go past him, and he stared. As I got closer, I did what I do with all animals. I started talking to him in a low voice, barely a whisper, and he started respond like most animals do. .he yawned. I'm SO entertaining!
But then he got a whiff of that bag, and suddenly his nose was all over it, my hands, my arms..and you have to remember that I'm practically looking this dog right in the eye. I froze.
Then all of a sudden, out comes that gorgeous blue tongue, and he starts licking my face! That made me giggle, and once I did that, his tail started to wag. I reached out to pet him, and it wagged harder. I realized that he only wanted to be friendly. .well, maybe the aroma of the ground beef helped, but that was the ice breaker.
After that, every time I went to the store, or to school, and home again, there he'd be, waiting for me. I always got teased for being the shortest in my class, but I was the only one brave enough to be kissed by the blue tongued dog!
I"m totally lusting for that marvelous bird cage on your potting table!
(I laugh so I don't cry!)
Love the blue tongue story. ;)
