Canvas Fun

Image
What holiday fun I am having!   All kinds of canvases!   Above is the February class.   Copyright laws, notwithstanding, turtles for grandsons walls.     And lots of paint classes! Some celebrating events, and some just for fun!   Isn't it amazing what so many "non-painters" can produce? And laugh? If laughter is truly the best medicine, I should not be sick all winter!        

Decorating almost done..

Just wish the shopping was! I heard on the news, 14 shopping days left.   Why doesn't anyone say how many SHIPPING days are left?   Posted this in the hopes that JWS will notice how bad those wires look? He says they are going away this week... Now off to get my mouse finger in shape for shopping!   Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!  

A Christmas Tree, Lisinopril and a Buck

First of all, folks, I have not had one of these days in awhile so hang on.   I will try to be as brief as possible, but really, it was a good one.   Yesterday, last day of what would have been deer camp alone weekend for me. Now really, it has not been bad other than I have not finished what I wanted to this weekend, but I had fun. Two sleepovers with grandchildren and time with JWS and a few projects completed and rest. All in all a good weekend.   I got up, I made a list and I was going to salvage the weekend and be productive.       I have my coffee and I mix up some antiquing and start.   It is 6:45.   Now at some point during the day we are to go and empty one of my antique booths and JWS has agreed to help. (I really think he did so that I would not take his truck alone)   7:00AM Hands stained, unshowered, I hear, "I am ready, let's go!"   7:30 AM 25 miles from home (I did sh

A Twist on The Pennants

Image
  These have been in the back of my mind for awhile. Pennants with a twist. So, after cleaning the sewing room, I messed it up again. I am always buying boxes of linens and hoarder than I am, I cannot stand to throw any of them away. Even the stained, ripped ones.   This is what I decided to do with them. Bits of fancy needlework...salvaged! Lots more to go!    The original pennant tutorial is here   http://tolentreasures.blogspot.com/2012/11/free-pennant-tutorialvery-easy.html   The only twist?   The serger on the edges.   I bought this serger from a friend this summer.   It has sat and sat and sat.   So after dusting and cleaning and Olympic gymnastic acts to get it threaded, it is working!     How fun are those machines?  

Camp Weekend

Image
This has always been my favorite weekend (long weekend) of the year.   For all my adult life, this was an "alone" weekend.   A Buck Widow Weekend.   I loved it!    And then it happened... JWS announces he no longer wishes to hunt.   Now I am sure that there are women everywhere that would love to hear that proclamation, however, it was not a happy day for me!!!   I liked my time alone. I liked my house to myself. I liked the tv remotes, sleeping when I wanted to getting up when I wanted to eating leftovers and whatever I wanted.   Not that JWS is demanding or noisy or messy or hard to be around.   (He is a remote hog though)   Last year, we compromised, New Orleans.   We spent the weekend there. It was fun.   This year nothing... but   It hasn't been bad so far. I got some canvases done And, I turned this picture   into this chalkboard. And real
