Bear with me,
I never really fully mastered what to do over there!

Good morning friend~
This new spring bunny painting is awesome! Then again, all your painting projects are too. I'm getting ready to put out the spring decor and wouldn't ya know, it snowed late yesterday afternoon! UGH......
I still love to bring out the "pastels" for spring and Easter. Don't think I'll ever tire of those colors for this season.
Can't wait to see what's next!
Have a great day~

Your work is just so beautiful. Who wouldn't love to have it in their home.
Everyone's putting chicks and bunnies on their blogs lately - I think this gal had better get moving on to Spring...although the snow we woke up to this morning after 49 degree temps yesterday is puzzling - go figure!

Good Morning Cathy-
Another wonderful painting. I Love how you added the wheels, buttons and eggs. Makes it that much more awesome. Cold, cloudy and a dreary day here. Spring couldn't come soon enough for me. Enjoy your day.

Hi Sandy, thanks for the comment on my kitchen, it took some convincing too with Stush, men are more "if it's not broke don't fix it" type. One day I just bought the tape and started painting, he now says it made such a difference in there, he's now doing the beadboard around the bar:)

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

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
