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!!!!

ta da!!!! It took 3 days and a lot of hard work... and a LOT of rearranging ,, but my art studio got a good cleaning... I took this picture an hour ago... it isn't this clean anymore!!! .. but I am on to the next project.

This is part of the town of 24 little buildings... they are an advent 'calendar' .. The numbers are on the back side... if you go to my etsy store.. you will find them there!!.. This is one thing I have been busy with.

you can always teach an old dog a new trick

I have done artwork my WHOLE life... I have spent a lot of money on art supplies... but never on REAL GOOD markers... I am in the middle of a project and needed some additional marker colors... so I bought some GOOD markers.. just a few.. some colors I didn't have in my 'not so good ' set of markers.... OH MY!! what a difference good supplies make..... There was NO WAY i could go back to my 'not so good' markers... so I invested in some good markers and wow, wow, wow... soon you will see them on etsy!!

beautiful indeed

wow! what beauty is all around us

promises , promises!!!

soon.... something new will be coming soon!!! I have something for Christmas that will be put on Etsy... I love them . hope you will too.
