Painting

Finished another project today- I have so much fun doing this stuff. I wish that I could just paint all the time and not do anything else. (how 'bout it mom?) It is a beautiful, sunny day here in PA, I was out pulling some weeds and weed whacking but the whacker broke :-( So, I came in and organized my painting supplies for my class at Seymour's studio, http://www.creativelegacyartstudio.com/ I have learned a lot about painting over the past few months and my confidence has increased ten fold so I plan on doing a lot of painting. I keep my eyes open all the time for surfaces that can be painted- really peaks my imagination! I really enjoy the Americana stuff (see previous post) although I never keep it, most often give it away. My plan is to sell some of this stuff on etsy.com or even ebay. Don't think that I will make a whole lot on them but it would be cool. (Check out etsy.com for hatandsassy stuff, great site for great crafts!!) I would love to switch from fleece to americana/folk art stuff for the fairs- everyone seems to do so well at that. I have also done some embroidery- crude stuff but I really like it. Check out the pics.



I will go get my mother on Monday (yay!!) She is home-sick and I miss her terribly, yes we are dang near attached at the hip! So she will soon be out in the garden bitching at the weeds that grew whilst she was gone- oh well, you don't want me to weed, I can't seem to tell the difference between the weeds and the flowers! Looks like it might be a nice weekend so we may go out sailing or something like that. Poor Rick has so many projects to do and not enough hours in the day, and of course, I just keep add to it- sorry honey! Matthew has 3 days left of school and Alex has one so that will be over. I love summer...guess I love all the seasons, but I look forward to the kids being out. Alex will be starting his new job at the fruit market up town, we will see how he fares. First thing, he has to get a haircut, thank goodness, he needs it! Matthew too, he will get his summertime flat-top that he looks so good in, that way "mom" doesn't have to bitch at him to comb his hair.
