Morning Glory

I have been slowly working on getting a garden back after the white fly invasion. One plant at a time. My Morning Glory bloomed. I love it when there are little water droplets on flowers!

Until next time- keep bloomin'!!!

Today I did a craft show that I do every year, the only one I do. I would really like to concentrate more on making an online presence. I do this one with my my friend and my mom and we have a great time. It was even slower than last year! I did however sell a handful of items. The best parts of the show were the compliments people gave me on my paintings. I believe people will not go out of their way to give you a compliment unless they actually mean what they are saying. I also noticed that my paintings made a lot of people smile and that was awesome! Even though I did not sell any of my art work, the positive feedback was great confirmation that I am on the right path! The best comment of the day was when a woman came up that had bought some items from me last year and told me she loved my work and that I was totally evolving. It made me do a little "Evolving" happy dance. Tee hee he!
Here are a couple of pictures of my table.

Until next time- Keep evolving!!!

Snail Tree

I am not proud to admit that I killed a beautiful Gardenia tree that my husband gave to me. It was attacked by white flies and I was not fast enough on the eradication of them. Just when my porch was starting to come together. The other night I was on the porch and saw the coolest thing, there were snails all over my dead tree. It looked like a tree that grew snails! LOL Here are some pics. Not too good because they are night shots.

Until next time, keep movin'-

Fast Moving Time

These are my girls on Halloween! Willow was supergirl and Wren was a mermaid princess. Time seems to be moving very fast for me lately. There just never seems to be the time I need to work towards my goals. Sometimes it makes me sad. Sometimes I put too much pressure on myself. I need to remind myself that all things will happen when they are supposed to happen. Putting pressure on myself does not move things along. My girls are 3 and 4 and they will both be in school before I know it. I need to savor these times while they are here. There will be plenty of time to work on my goals once they are in school. For now I will just do what I can, when I can and enjoy each day.

Until next time, Savor the day...

Spreading Our Wings

I took the most amazing course this summer with Kelly Rae Roberts, Artist, Author and Possibilitarian. From this class I have connected with many creative, supportive, truly awesome women. There is really nothing better than having your own little cheering squad at your disposal! In a world where it sometimes seems that women try to sabotage other women (this sucks! WTF?!) it is fabulous to have all this support from smart, creative women! You ladies rock! We have decided to host a blog hop. This one right below!

Trying Something New!

I was looking at my studio the other day and thought that it needed some sprucing up! It is rather plain with white walls. I have lots of different fabrics that I have collected and decided to sew them together to make a cool gypsy type wall hanging. The only problem- I don't really sew! I am persistent and will finish this project however, how it turns out it a whole other story! LOL!! My girlfriend just purchased a new sewing machine and was kind enough to give me her old one. I hope to make her proud on this project! Here are some pics of the fabric.
