I had a vision....

 

I decided to try my hand at making children's art.  I thought about framing this

and giving it to my new niece Hazel Grace.  But when I looked at I thought

it really not appropriate for a new born baby room.  Maybe at a later date.

Its hot again today, I am not complaining, our winter lasts to long here,

and I pine for warm days.  I am working on a world map for the

shoppers new laundry room, with pins in it to show where

her and the boyfriend have been.  I have a vision of it in my

head, but you know how those vision's turn out, usually crap like.

So I will keep you tuned in and let you know how it turns out.



Hot hot hot

 

my take on fashion, did you know square shoulders are back (lol)

they are not, hopefully never will be back

 

news just heard, my niece just had a baby girl and

called her hazel grace, these are names are coming back

don't you know

 

today is going to be hot hot hot

so I am getting my stuff done early today and

the rest of the day is studio time, in the cool

of the basement.  We are having bbq salmon

for dinner and salad, so not much prep work

there needed. I am trying to quite drinking

diet coke, I don't drink coffee, tea or juice,

I love diet coke, but its not good for

you.  So I have decided 3 a day

from now on, then reduce.

Blotch is the name of the game...

 

In real  life her face is not blotchy.  When I scan my

images they don't scan face color very good.

Yesterday went to the art store, and was very

good only spent 15.00 and that was on,

2 black pens, and 4 neo colour crayons.  I am building

my stock back up slowly but surely since I

lost them all a while back. Nothing else

is new or exciting at my casa so I am

out of here talk to you all tomorrow.

Eco dyeing

You know how I love flowers.  If you don't, I love flowers, I love to draw them, and take pictures of them,    and my ladies like above I like to dress them in flowers.  Would I ever wear flowers, no.

When I went over to Gayles house the other day, she gave me a bouquet of her beautiful flowers that she grows.  Her garden is amazing.  Anyway I saw

that she is putting cotton material, rope, flowers, buds, water in a jar and

leaving it outside to sit in the sun.  So I decided to do the same,

I have started a jar, which I have been adding stuff to:

I need to add a few more things, I am thinking wild berries, now I just have to find them.

Okay I am off to lunch with my friend Lois, and then to the paint store,

for something I don't need.  I don't know what it is yet, but I will let

you know tomorrow.

A little bird told me to

 

had a great time enfamily last night

today its back to daily life

you know  cleaning the house, I am truly

thinking its time to downsize.  Its hard
though my husband loves this house.
Today I have some postcards to make
to send to the people who read Fridays post.
Then to library to take back a book, and
pick up a new one on order.  Then I am
going to stop on my friends house, (the one who just passed away)
and see how her husband is doing.  Then I think
the bookstore, and then second cup to have a cup of
hot cocoa and do some drawing, away from the studio
maybe some inspiration will hit me.  What are you
doing today?

Its all about.

 

today its all about

enjoying the day,

breathing in the sunshine,

reading, painting,  and some visiting.

My friend Gayle is dyeing fabric in jars, the eco way

so I am off to deliver some more  jars and check out her experiments.

Then its home to work on my wall paper canvas

dinner with the shopper and the boyfriend.

Today its roast, potatoes around the roast,

Yorkshire pudding, baked carrots, and coconut

cream cake from Costco.

My friend was buried on Saturday, it was what

she would have wanted, elegant, and heartfelt.  She

would have been so proud. Her husband was in

sorrow, but was welcoming to everyone.  I

will miss her but know that she is free of pain

and is finally flying free.
