Saturday afternoon breezes!

Today is a cool, comfortable, sunny day in Southern California. There is a gentle breeze flowing through the house moving the curtains. The windchimes are chiming along with the birds chirping. These are some of my favorite days. I have put a hammock up on the back patio so if I get the chance to just relax and do nothing I can just hop into it. I am so inspired by these beautiful days. I have been diligently working in my paint room with new and exciting products. I am doing a show next weekend and hoping to sell out...I have been working on submissions for next year. I am thouroughly motivated and can't seem to sit down to relax. Oh wait maybe that's what I'm doing when I am painting. Hehe! The website at www.oldprimitivesisters.com has been upgraded and I am looking forward to adding new product to the sight. It will most be likely be after my show next weekend. I will keep you posted. I have some really cute things I want to get on there. I will be posting pics today of what I am working on and what to look for on my website. I will create a link directly to the site in the side bar. Looking forward to all possibilities this year. I am full of joy. Thanks for looking in on me. Oh yea April 21, 2009 the next issue comes out for Create and Decorate, look for me between the pages....

The Day After the Tea Parties!

I have to say that I am quite proud of many Americans whom stood for what they believe in. I have to say that I am especially proud of my home state of Texas. I'm proud of the Govenor and the people. Stand proud my fellow Texans. Not only is it about taxes but it's about the Constitution staying in tact. I am also proud to say that these were peaceful protests. I am sorry to of heard the negative media attention by certain news stations Chicken Noodle News, and the Peacock! But that's they way they spin things.
With that little tid bit said I am going to get painting. I will post some pics this week of some things that I have for sale on the website. Have a great day my fellow blog readers.

Easter's coming...

Easter is a reminder of the special gift that we have received from Jesus. To have him take all our sins upon him so we could seem him again in Heaven. I am not only thankful for that but I am thankful for many other things in my life that are also gifts from the Lord. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, friends and my fellow readers. I just want you to all know that having you peek in to see what I am doing or painting is a blessing and I just want to thank you for taking time out of your day to see what is here.
I am painting away in my little paint room. I am trying to get things ready for submitting to my favorite magazine Create and Decorate. I will be listing some new items up for sale here in the near future at www.oldprimitivesisters.com
As soon as I get them listed I will let you know via my blog here. I also have another instructional piece in the June 09' issue of Create and Decorate. It is a handpainted gourd birdhouse. If you go to www.createanddecorate.com
you will be able to see my gourd. Thanks again for checking in and have a Blessed Easter...

Long time no see!

I have been burried in work! Just a few more days and I get to see my husbands smiling face again. Seven months is a long time to be away from a loved one. I just want to say to all of the spouses of the deployed if you have to go longer than 7 months I am so sorry. I am very thankful for my husband and his pride and honor. He is a great man as are others whom are deployed. (Men and Women) I just would like to take the time to thank each and every deployed Marine, Sailor, Soldier and even civilians that are amongst this for their commitment to our safety and protection. I would also like to thank the spouses whom are home waiting for their loved ones to return. May God wrap you all in his arms and give you comfort.
Now with that said what I have been doing...No pics please! Can't do that but I can tell you it will be in the Fall issue of Create and Decorate...It will light up your day.
I am working on a bucket for a friend in Ohio! I will be able to post pics of it. So be looking for that. Thank you all for reading and checking in on what I am doing. It makes my day to get messages from my readers. If you have questions please feel free to ask I will help you as much as I possibly can. If I don't know how to do something I will certainly research it and find out if possible. Have a wonderful Wednesday! Spring is coming hang in there let's get rid of these Winter Blues!

Good Thursday to all...

No I haven't painted today...or yesterday....but I did do something constructive. I cleaned. I don't know if you have seen my latest for Create and Decorate. But there it is in the side bar. The little gourd eggs. I have to say that might be one of my favorites. I really enjoyed painting those little guys. I am gonna have to get in my paint room and get started on my next submission. I also have a bucket that I will be painting here real soon. It's for an order and I will post pics as I go so you can see from beginning to end. I love doing those because you get to see what it doesn't look like in the beginning and then it turns into something in the end. That so fascinates me. So keep peeking in on me and we shall see a bucket in progress.

Have a great evening fellow blog readers.
