Determination

This is the second piece of artwork I have done for this frame.. Found the frame- matched two other frames I had of Christmas pictures - determined to add to this to the other two on the wall..... so did first artwork.... failed totally .. ( it has been a while since I have done ANY true artwork) so tried a different approach... I like it ..simple but kind of the look I wanted.......... at least it is on the wall.

Using Stuff

ok,, this is an awful picture.. but it kind of shows what I did with some fencing I got this weekend. The mitten is a tiny baby mitten and it doesn't have a mate... the camels , star and trees are cookie cutters. The part of a stocking you can see is one I made my husband when we were dating!!! and the wonderful snowman picture came from my sister-in-law.

and so the day slowly drifts away hours of artwork thrown in the wastebasket but feels good to start over tonight or tomorrow

Christmas Red and Snow White

This is part of my Christmas decorating this year... I am into candy canes. All because I found the most wonderful elegant candy canes earlier this year . Most of you know that I love little houses.. so the first thing I had to do is make a house that matched my decor.

Much to my amazement I managed to figure out how to download from my camera and get it on my blog... I feel so proud of myself this morning. As my sister and husband and son in law know full well I am SO not computer savy!!!So I feel very smart today . Course it helps that the sun is shining, I finally feel better( I had a month long cold) and I am ready to start doing one of my favorite things to do... bake Christmas cookies!!! hope your day is full of sunsine and snow and Christmas smells !!!

time to get back to this thing again.... I have a whole bunch of new stuff happening and I guess its time to share.. I just have to remember how this thing works again... like how to put on pictures,, etc.........since I am SOOOO computer challenged!!!... so hang in there I will return!!!

found something out

sometimes it is amazing how life works... I found out there are a few people that actually read my blog..!!! .. It makes me feel like I am really 'here'!!!.. No pictures yet of the different place.. only cause I haven't made work of it.. or I really want to wait till I am a bit more 'done' with things.. Last night I came up with at least 3 more art pieces I want to do!! I love having my 'brain' back!!! only now I have to wait till I can get a couple places to get a couple of things to do the ideas. So today I am doing the exciting mundane things of life.. like laundry, and cleaning up my art table. and that is ok too..

ok,, it has been a long time

Much has happened ... I have a different place to decorate.... however that is not the purpose of this post... I am in a fix... I have a milk allergy..nothing big, doesn't bother me most of the time, in fact I don't think about it... HOWEvEr .. these days I am thinking about it. I didn't know that you can get a itchy reaction.. like little bug bites. Oh boy can you ever. I have then everywhere and I itch, itch, itch! So far not much has helped the itch. todays idea is baking soda paste.. which is helping a little.. I was going to go to our local natural foods store to see what I could find to help, but I am without a car, or suv or pickup ... so maybe I will find myself bundling up and going for a walk later today!!! This stuff is wicked!!!! Oh,, yea.. and I will NOT be eating any dairy for quite a while!!!!
