My Hats off to ya!!!

I've been working on a few hats!

 For the gang from Snow Country.

But the big red hat?

I may wear this on 

Halloween.

I am still feeling off kilter,

but I am trying to work on the good days.

And when those good days happen I

try to do to much, and have to learn,

all in good time.

Now I've got to make a batch of mache

and sculpt some snowmen for those hats.

Be well!

It's the time, of the Season...

I love this time of the year.

It's not hot, but it's not cold either.

The phasing of one season to the next, doesn't 

always pertain to the weather.

I have realized over the last few months

that this body I walk around in, changes too.

But it doesn't mean I have to surrender to dried

falling leaves that crunch beneath my feet.

I don't want to.

I want to know the change is good, knowing that

things go dormant, preparing for the new,

I'd like to think, and I will, that I'll 

embrace the changing of my season.
I know the grass will turn green again.
I know that beneath the soil the plantings are
resting and preparing for the sprouts of renewal.

Onward Ho!

Be Well!

By the Sea!

Just got back from the beach!

Spent the last week here.  Just have to get back into the groove.

I'll be back as soon as I wipe all the sand off of everything I brought home.

Had a great time!

Be well!

 

Hey! I'm Still doing Summer Here!

And with triple digit temps, how can we not do Summer?

But with the "Dog Days" of August here,

I see nothing but back to school ads.

Yeah, I can hear some of you...can't wait for school to start!

Which will lead to, Autumn!

Cooler degrees I hope.

I'm already seeing those black and orange 

colors popping up everywhere.

But right now, 

I'm still doing Summer here.

 Anxiously waiting to go to the

 

August is vacation time for us, and yeah, I know,

it's the hottest part of Summer.  Most times, to

hot to really enjoy anything...don't care!

I've been painting, 

 and trying to finish these.

I even got a little Mickey in.

It's a chalk board for baby Booge.

For when he can actually use chalk.

And I am working on some,

black and orange, because Autumn is right around the corner.

So, with August here, I am off to take advantage of the Summer sales,

I need some towels for the,

 

Be Well!

It's so Exciting to be in

Art Doll Quarterly!

I finally received my copy,

This is my article.

I know,  I'm gloating aren't I!

Oh well, it shall pass,

and tomorrow, I"ll be cleaning the toilets.

But for now, I'm going to revel in the excitement!

 

If you get a chance, pick up a copy, there are

so many talented artists sharing their unique 

skills.

Be Well!

Happy 4th!!!

Happy 4th of July!

Have A Seat!

Before I Paint it.

I went to Home Depot the other day.

And spotted this, on sale for $29.99.

Had to get it!

I didn't need to, but I had to get it!

I thought to use one of these colors,

Love the orange, but my umbrellas are orange, 

and with the brick it would get lost.

So I may paint it the aqua, or maybe the dull white gray shades,

and pop accent orange cushions on it.

 

Who knows! 

 

Be well!
