Recuperation...or how many hours

-
can you actually spend in a recliner? Most of yesterday afternoon and today have been spent in this recliner...can you tell by the mess that I have accumulated around it...it is like a nest for me. Tomorrow I hope to spend some time here...

and here.

I am so glad to hear you are home and in the recliner. I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago and spent about 10 days in the hospital...so I'm glad to hear you are recuperating at home. Take care ~Natalie

Hi Cathy,

Hope you're feeling better than you were when I saw John the other day...he was picking up the wonderful drugs the doc ordered for you! Hope they helped make you more comfortable without making you goofy (smile). It looks like you have been taking advantage of the projects you gathered for your recuperation time...take care of yourself and hope you don't go too stir crazy until you're fully healed!

Smiles and sunshine...Bev

Hi Cathy!
I was glad to read that your home and starting to recuperate. With all the sitting places waiting for you to visit it looks like you won't get bored with the same old view everyday. That's a good thing!
Get well soon.
Take care.

Cathy, as long as you aren't in any of those chairs then it's a good sign that you are getting much better! Do take care though.

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

-

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

-
Image
What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake

Steps to a snowman face, Part 1.

-

Sketch in the face. Use chalk (I like welder's chalk) and don't be afraid. After all, it is a snowman and they are all different so you can't get it wrong. Paint the face white or light gray or light blue. Just get a base on it and let that dry. Then, and you have to work sort of fast to do this part, lay in three values of color. This one is a medium country blue, a lighter blue and white. I also frequently use Milk Chocolate, Cocoa and an Off-White. Experiment, you might find a better combination. Then Blend, Blend, Blend. I use the largest brush that I can fit in the area. Keep a paper towel folded in your hand and keep wiping your brush. Do not dip it back into the water at this point. Blend between the dark and medium, wipe your brush, blend between the medium and light. Nice soft blend between the values. And then, wipe your brush again and pick up white and drybrush more white in the lightest area. I like to drybrush a little white in the dark areas also. I t
