Who wants to make a Dreamboard?

Last night in the chat room we had such a wonderful time.  It was great to connect with people I hadn’t talked to at all and others that I hadn’t talked to in a long time.

I hope you can join me Thurs night at 9 PM Eastern time.  It’s very informal and we can laugh, [...]

Imperfection

I am celebrating my imperfection today.  I am taking some new medicine and it is making me feel like a slug, so I haven’t done much the past few days.  And you know what?  That’s okay!  American society puts so much importance on our value being in what we produce.  But [...]

Our Closet Memory

This is a repeat of a post that I lost when my blog crashed a few months ago.  It is one of my favorites so I’m bringing it back.

He was my first born.  He was my baby.  He was so incredibly bright, sweet and unique.  He was 19 years old.  There’’s nothing that could have [...]

Inspiration but no energy for art

I have had a really hard time getting anything done since I got back from my trip.  I’ve been beating myself up over my lack of motivation.  I’ve had what I thought were allergies since I came home, and tonight it dawned on me that I have some sort of respiratory infection.  Duh!  Sometimes I [...]

Back home

I am home from my trip. It was so good to be with my kids. I need a kid fix pretty often

Here’s a picture of me and my granddaughter, Bella, at her 2nd birthday party. She is such a diva!! I’m learning a lot from her. Seriously! She [...]

Going home again

I am leaving tomorrow for another trip to TX.  I am going to get some things that are in storage, including some art supplies. Yea!!

I’ll also be celebrating my granddaughter’s second birthday.  Sadly, I am also going to see my ex mother-in-law probably for the last time.  She is 92 and in poor health.

I’ll post [...]

Watercolor pencils

I decided that today I would draw my stripey feet. I used Dewent watercolor pencils. I colored it in and then went over most of it with a wet brush. You can see the bottom few rows that I didn’t go over. I like that it takes away the white areas [...]
