Ready for Spring

Good morning ladies and bloggers! It is flurrying outside and well I am just ready for some beautiful spring flowers, and sunshine...I don't know about you guys.
With that said craft fairs are starting and I am ready to get out and mingle with some like-minded folks. I have been painting up a storm and have wondered into another area besides primitives and home decor for adults. I have been painting pictures for little childrens rooms and I have to say it is fun and rewarding. I have to say that my little grandson was an influence on that. I am hoping that others like my new venture as well. I will post some pics of the new items. I am thinking that I might sell some on Etsy we shall see. I have Craft fair March 12, 2011 and would like to take them with me. My next show is at Northwest Highschool if anyone is in the Omaha area.
So is anyone planning on a garden? If so when do you start your indoor seeds? I am planning on a garden and can't wait to till up the dirt. I am going to take my little helper out with me, he loves the outdoors and even though he is little still he likes to help. He's a smart little booger...I hope he keeps those traits and continues to be a helper in the future...and Mimaw is still cool in the future. Well just wanted to say good morning and let everyone know that I am still painting and not as distracted with other things I am totally focused on painting and loving it! Have a wonderful day and God bless you all!

Hello strangers!

Hello to all! Long time no blog...
Sorry I have been away. I was in the process of moving and well now instead of Sunny California I am in the frosty Midwest! AND I LOVE IT! It's cold, it already snowed, and I did a craft fair and it was a success! I am ready to get painting and crafting. The holidays are coming up so I made a ton of Gingerbread ornies, and salt dough ornies. I have pics of the gingerbread that I will be posting. I have pics from beginning to end. I had fun making them.
Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? That is one of my favorite times of the year. I will be making a turkey, homemade cornbread stuffing, sweet candied yams, buttery mashed potatos, potato rolls, punkin pie! Ahhhh I am getting hungry. Well here are some pics of the gingerbread ornies!
Hey how bout a give away! Tell me what your favorite thing is about Thanksgiving or what your thankful for. I am thankful for my dear friends and family. Let me know and how about December 1 I will pick a winner out of the wonderful hat! Good luck start posting.

Good Thursday evening Ladies and Bloggers!

Well I was sitting here monkeying around and thought I would post something on my blog. Just a couple of more weeks and it is onto the wonderful Midwest. I am so looking forward to this next adventure placed in my path. I love and long for the midwest. I love the green grass in the summer that is soft and delicate under your barefeet. I love the crispness in the air when Fall is creaping in. I love the smell of the fresh cut grass when spring arrives and the blooming flowers. The winter is an welcome sight for snow. I can almost taste the fresh country air now just thinking about it. For some reason I feel that my creativity will be overflowing when we get there. It will be a time to relax and come back to peace of mind. Time is creepin up on me and I wish it would stop creeping and just get here. We found the cutest house with real trees, and real grass. A place for a garden which will flourish with fresh fruits and vegetables, I can almost taste the juicy, seedless watermelon, the canteloupe, and fresh grape tomatoes. Ahh at last freedom from the hustle and bustle of California.
Well I haven't been totaly out of the realm. I have an instructional piece in this months Create & Decorate. Check it out and let me know what you think. I love that magazine because it has so many different avenues of creativity. Makes me want to explore other mediums. Here are some pics of this months project.
