Finally finished this. Girls, Girls, Girls Wonderful Band Concert Mail from Sheila. Thanks so much! Shelby loved it. Snow in February. Added more details Painted for boys. Three finished scarves. A finished rug. Pot of chili for the week. Tyler's Basketball Practice. Dinner with Friends. Laundry is done. Church on Sunday. A visit with Kendall and Shelby. A wonderful gift. Three words will not work here. Shelby wrote a book as she calls it. Twenty some pages of our/her life so far. She gave it to my Sunday afternoon and I read it Sunday night. What a gift. So many memories and hearing them from her point of view was amazing. I laughed. I cried, I will treasure it forever! And now, on to another work week! Monday, here I come.

Well I never have signed up for a blog party before and now I know why.  I am late and life just gets in the way sometimes.  It was supposed to be where country people create and I thought, "Well, I have to clean anyway for the  50 or so people that are showing up at my house that week so why not join the party and show a CLEAN area"  Riiighhht!  I neglected to realize how much I had been neglecting my house.   So I didn't make it to the party in time and now my painting room is cluttering up again.  Anyway, this is where I paint.  It is sort of a loft outside our bedroom.  I love the space, small but nicely tucked in.  And this is the view from the other end  of the space. And this is where I sew, it is a reclaimed bedroom.  I see those rooms full of cupboards and shelves and counters and I'll be honest, I covet them.  Someday. And some of the things that I have been painting.  Panic mode has set in....
