February's calendar

 

It's only February and yet, this year is starting out badly.  First, on one of the coldest days of the year (and we are having record lows this year), my whole house furnace quit working.  The only heat I had was from three space heaters in various rooms of the house.

Then my dear friend Scott's mother died.  You who visit for T Tuesday should remember him.  His mother died of cancer.

I have developed "flu-like" symptoms that have kept me in bed or hugging the toilet.

And finally, "failed to publish" has reared its ugly head again on blogger.

I am rather ashamed to admit, I photographed this the first of the month, then failed to show/share it on my blog.  This is for Vicki's Musical theme at Art Journal Journey.

This detail shot shows the musical notes in blue are from a stencil and the heart note in black was created using a red rubber wood block stamp.

Bleubeard and I are delighted you visited us today at Art Journal Journey and hope to see you share your own interpretation of Music.

Oh dear, it's terrible without heating, so you shouldn't be surprised that you have such a cold. The heaters don't do the same thing, but they're better than nothing. I'm sorry about Scott's mother!
Your February calendar page fits perfectly with Vicki's theme.Google keeps acting up for me too
I hope you get well soon, hugs Elke

Wow, sorry to hear about your issues starting this month. It's certainly not fun with a broken furnace not to mention being sick in the middle of it! Hope you can get things improved for you soon. Your calendar page is lovely full of love and music for the season! I love that you've added the cups for tea day as well! Thanks so much for sharing your inspiration for my "MUSIC" theme at AJJ my friend! Sending warm hugs

So sorry to hear you are sick. It sounds as if you could do with Bleubeard waiting on you hand and foot. I hope you feel better soon and that your furnace is repaired also.
Good to see your calendar for this month with the music theme and the tea.
Hugs, Neet xx

Oh my gosh, Elizabeth. You have had a terrible February so far. I cannot believe that your house furnace quit working on one of the coldest days of the year. That's terrible!!! I can only hope that you were able to get it fixed quickly. And I am sending get well wishes that you are feeling better. My husband and I had what sounds like the same virus in January and it was not fun. YUCK!
I am so very sorry to hear that your friend Scott's mother passed away. Please accept my sincere sympathy - to you and your friend.
Oh no . . . "failed to publish" started again??? I hope that is fixed by now, too.
On a happier note, your February calendar looks wonderful - i love all of the musical notes, especially the ones with the hearts. And the little tea cups are adorable.
Please take care of YOU, Elizabeth. I am sending warm thoughts and hugs across the miles. Hugs, Sharon
