Sorry for the delay

My little one is still up and down with her HSPurpra.
But now that it appears we are about to be out of the woods I should have some new art to show you soon.
Hugs Y'all!

Blog Template

I created my new blog template yesterday. What do y'all think?
I took a que from some of my favorite things:
Old type writers, courier font, shipping tags and twine.

Home Grown Greeting Cards

These days we all need to pinch a penny or two here and there. One of the ways I do that is by using watercolors and water color paper cut down to a card size. I then paint whatever is fitting for the occasion and there's a cheap card that will be special little touch to the gift recipient.

Nesting Scarlett Doll

There are three characters from the movie that will come to life in this set of nesting dolls. Rhett Butler , Scarlett and I'll let you guess the third.

Here's a quick snap shot of the beginning of where I've gotten so far.

And to my worries today, in the words of the great southern lady herself,
" 'I won't think of it now. I can't stand it now. I'll think of it later.' "

Doctors Excuse

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted new art. My oldest has been quite sick with HS purpura. A kind of scary condition that is hopefully temporary.

I will be back soon with a fresh batch of artful goodness.

Hugs,

Favorite Things

A couple of my favorite things:

My chicken lamp

My Whiteclad Icebox.

My grandmother's sewing machine and stand.

P.S.

That's my grandmother in the small picture on the sewing machine holding a jug of wine she made. Muscadine of course.

Capture A moment Art Journaling

One of the things that I enjoy doing during down time is art journaling. It's a great way to record a trip, or just everyday life. From watching the kids play at McDonald's

to record special moments and places on a trip.

And what a great piece to hand down to your heirs than a illustrated journal that tells the story of your experiences.

Sunrise

from the parking deck at Coca-Cola. Of course this was not taken today. It's raining and overcast today. Which it might surprise you to know I prefer. I love rainy weather... although the traffic stinks!
