Recycling, Save the Planet!

Recycling involves processing used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from land filling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste management and is the third component of the reduce, reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy. There are hundreds of recyclable materials glass, paper, metal, plastic, etc. that we can use. This tablecloth was the perfect one for my project, I wanted to buy a few outdoor cushions a while ago but having this tablecloth made me think again and why not? create something special. I used a lot of plastic bags from the supermarket and fill them up.

Now I have some nice cushions to enjoy and don't have to worry to leave them outside. all is waterproof. The red look so nice against the black of the chair.

By the Susqueahanna River

The Susquehanna River (originally "Sasquesahanough" according to the 1612 John Smith map) is a river located in the northeastern USA. At approximately 444 mi (715 km) long, it is the longest river on the American east Coast, the 16Th longest in the United States, and the longest river in the continental USA without commercial boat traffic. The Susquehanna forms from two main branches.

Many celebrations take place here at City Islands, this pictures are from The Race Unity Day in June, where many religious will come together and celebrate in harmony and is organized every year by the Baha'is of the area. This Year the program was fantastic, they had storytelling, music, drums, flutes, poems, readings, etc, we had a great time.

Rabbits...

This are part of what you will see every day around here, wild rabbits. This one was in front of our house, they are so accustom to see people around that they don't move unless you walk really close to them. I wanted to share this pictures with all of you. We have two rabbits at home also as pets. They are very playful.

I'm back!!!!!

Hi again friends, it has been a while away from my blog, but there were so many things in my agenda including some medical appointments, trips, finishing the garden and more work. But still doing art and taking pictures around. This pictures are from my visits to the lake, I'm trying to go as often as I can to do my walkings and enjoy the view.

This cute boy was having a great time with the family, sorry I was walking too fast to get this picture so it seems to be a little blurry.

An Old Box

24 years ago this box was a gift from the Grand children to a Grandmother, the occasion was a Christmas Day, the Year was 1985. I found this box in an Antique store, it had an inscription inside the cover, I sanded all except the year, all was with permanent marker. The box is 13 1/2" x 11 1/4" W and 16 3/4" H. The next step was deciding what to do, the blue bird is painted and it came with the box. I had saved some old images from calendars and finally selected a nice one to use inside the cover and see it when open the box. The idea was to do decoupage and sealed but keep the antique look of the box. . At the end I put a plant but the box can be use in other ways. It is a real treasure.

Moroccan Mirror

I got this exquisitely hand made decorated Mirror, is a Moroccan Style Mirror. It combines metal finely cut to form flowers, a real nice piece and ultimate touch for an exotic decor. I just love it.
