Brrrrrrrr.......

Well winter is finally here.. days of between -25 and -47c this morning with the wind chill... arghhh.. don't think my feet will ever be warm again....lol   Had 2 glorious days off and worked thru alot of random things on my list.. was wonderful to feel like I had some time to myself.. no painting or anything up on Etsy but am set up for painting and have pics ready to do the write ups for but  there was things that needed to be done first..shows to send applications for, gallery fees to be paid,  covers sewn for the change table .. I didn't want Chaya to feel that the baby was getting so many new things so I made pj's for her barbies.. they are not the best.. haven't made barbie clothes since my girls were small.. soooo piddly but fun..can see this using up alot of scraps in the future...lol

My daughter's best friend's due date is the week before hers.. so here's the baby blanket I just finished for her first baby.. I am just finishing the edging on the one for our new baby so should have pics in a couple of days...

I got the newsletter for the new Our World Our Art, so excited about it.. I stumbled on a link for the One World One Heart at one time.. and had so much fun checking out all the blogs.. and seeing all the beautiful art out there... can hardly wait.. just thinking about what to do for it....Hope I am jump started by then...so blah these days.. you know it's bad when you're dreaming about work and where you're going to move things for inventory on saturday.. lol That nightmare will be over by saturday night though... Yay!!!!
I did get a chance to hit the thrift shop on the weekend though... got some cool things...

I know... Yay!! more stash!! lol just couldn't pass them up...
Anyways.. Hope it's warmer there than here.. should start getting ready for work... Have a loverly day! and thanks for stopping by...

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Good morning.... Yikes you say!! she is still alive!!! well sorta almost....lol.. It was a crazy fall, if I wasn`t at work I was doing shows.. if not there painting like crazy to get ready for the next show..I felt like a hamster on a wheel.. Some serious life changes happened too and change isn`t always easy for me.  Staying off the computer was the only way to get anything done.. have thought about you all so often and wondered what you were up to..and how you all were, but you know the longer you put things off the harder it is to catch up on ... Procrastination has been my middle name this year or maybe my first name..Did you make any resolutions this year? No resolutions as such here but have everything ready to start painting 1 day a week starting next week.. after Chaya goes home on Monday.. I came home from that last sale thinking.. either start doing this right or quit.. the stress is so not worth it.. and seeing as getting rid of any stash would be painful 1 day a week to start with is the plan.
Don't you love my new look?? nope I didn't do it.. just picked it out and Les over at Harmony Road Studios did it for me... She is having a 300th post giveaway too.. am sure you'd love to win one of her awesome pieces.. Thanks Les.. I appreciate it!!
For christmas I made Chaya a hobby horse.. I have made and sold hundreds of these in the past.. I had forgotten how much fun they were so am thinking I should add them back into my inventory..they do take up alot of display space though...

New baby is due end of Feb.. so excited.. working frantically trying to finish crocheting a new blanket for it's arrival..Chaya is excited but not so sure about some of the changes coming with it..
I painted for the first time on Moose antlers..a christmas present for one of DH's cousins.. this will sit by their front door.. fun!!

Anyways.. posting wasn't as hard as I thought so now wondering why it took me so long to get back here..lol.. but I should really get ready for work now..
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.. and thanks for stopping by.. have missed you...
