Good morning...

It's still cold and blowing snow here.. cold, cold, cold!!! Am still undecided on going to the city today.. not even sure I can get down the driveway yet..lol The weather station said it was supposed to be warmer today.. would be nice if they got it right some days..
I did get the cupboard door finished for my nephew's soccer team..I like how it turned out.. now just to get it to him if we don't get into the city today..

Thanks for looking.. and have a great day.. stay warm...

ok so it's abit warmer..

But I still can't warm up.. We were supposed to have B-day coffee for my son today but it got canceled as my Princess  has the flu..Poor baby.. feel so sorry for them, too little to understand it.
Painting is going slow hopefully will finish a couple of things today. I wanted to donate something to my nephew's soccer team that is having a fundraiser social for their team and half the proceeds go to Breast cancer research.. The kids are 12 years old and that is what they picked for their charity..Great kids!  so that has to be finished to go into Winnipeg tomorrow.
One of the girls on an ATC swap group passed away before Christmas and the group decided to do a tribute to her for this month's swap. She was a gifted artist and we all miss her very much. Here's the one I did for it..

Now over at Jen's she posted a background that she had seen at RobenMarie's, it's a great tutorial. So had to try it.. this is what I came up with.. here's my whole sheet...gel medium and  H2O's.

and this is what I made out of it..

 I found it easier to do more quilting on it after I had cut them up.. pics look abit dark.. they are really lighter than this..
I posted something new on My Etsy this morning.. which takes me forever to do the write-ups etc and am soooo frustrated with these ridiculous new postal rates..
Anyways.. if I'm to finish painting those things I should get off here and do something..lol..
Thanks for looking.. hope everyone has a lovely sunday..

I am still freezing...... and something a little different....

Good morning.. wow 2 days in a row..lol... awhile back Patty at Maggie's Nest introduced me to Zentangles.. have had so much fun with them and then last week I found "I am the Diva's blog" and there is a weekly challenge there... what fun!!!! so have been doing more again.. here's my Orb challenge for this week...

Last week was Stars.. so here's what I did for that..

My youngest daughter Shannon came out for a visit.. so last night was playing too..here's her first cards.. and then the challenge ones for the last 2 weeks.. she did a great job on them... secretly I think she might be hooked..lol

Anyways.. should get busy.. hoping my painting room is warm enough to hang out in today.. if not..am sure I can find something else to do..lol
Have a great day... thanks for stopping by...

Brrrrrr -39c is not ok

Good morning.. It's been awhile.. hope everyone had a good christmas.. and wishing you all the best in the New Year.. me I'm wishing right now it would slow down abit.. I can't believe it's January 20th already.. I have been busy ... never seems to be enough hours in a day. I only had one thought for a resolution and that was to paint more starting now.. well...that's  not working out so great...lol.. life sure gets in the way of creativity sometimes.. but I have been quilling some to get Valentine's Day card up on my Etsy store.

Then I have played with some altered art .. My friend Jen sent me the lovliest Christmas pocket so I decided to make some Valentine's Day ones.. here they are.. have soooo missed playing with paper and making ATC cards.

Well that's about it for now.. have more to show you but should get busy and get something done today.. Thanks for looking and have a lovely day..I need to figure out how to put things on here soon..lol

Signs...

Morning.. it's lovely and cold here.. with a prediction of alot more snow starting tonight.. sigh.... think we have enough already.. am good with a foot of it.. lol

Here's a couple of  signs I've listed  today on my Etsy store.. there will be more to come ...I haven't figured out how to put a link to it on my blog as yet.. hopefully today.. If you're interested in any of them.. just email me and we'll figure it out..
Orders are progressing well.. and all the laundry is finally caught up with.. it's been a good day. It was wonderful to sit and not do much yesterday.. I think I really needed that.. I did start on some Christmas presents though but that could be done sitting and watching tv.. like that!
Well.. back to work.. hope everyone is having a lovely day! Thanks for stopping by..

Yay!! I'm back! I think...lol

Well.. my 2 biggest shows are behind me now.. it's been a crazy couple of weeks.. still 3 smaller ones to go but the big push is over.. they both went well and I am happy. Traveling to Regina to do the Signatures  show was an adventure .. my first snow drive.. so not fun! lol.. and only having two days between the 2 big ones really was very tiring.. but I'm glad I tried the new one in Regina..We made it a girl's weekend too so had a great time.. and as always the Winnipeg one is good.. fun to catch up with past customers and friends and meet new people. I have alot of orders to finish up in the next 2 weeks and am hoping to get some more things up on my Etsy store now as well.

After the storm going to Regina.. coming home was a breeze.. it had been soooo very foggy all the day before that when we woke up to such a beautiful morning.. couldn't help but stop and take a pic of the beautiful sunrise and all the hoar frost...

Here's a pic of my booth from the Signatures Winnipeg Show.. we also got alot of snow this week too so now it's truly winter..nice and not so nice...
I did some different pieces this year.. some went well and others not so well... lol always the way though.. you just never know.. but I loved this one and I kept it for my door.

Anyways.. have had a lazy day but it's back to getting things done tomorrow..
Thanks for stopping by.. and have a lovely evening...

Wow.. can't believe this...

I can't believe how much time has gone by since I've been here.. does this mean I'm having fun? lol. Every day is spent painting, spraying.. and still feel like I'm so far behind.. Panic mode is setting in..adding that new big show has me really going...
Went into the city on the weekend to babysit.. had a lovely trip to the Assiniboine Park Zoo.. can't remember the last time I was there.. we had alot of fun...

There are geese everywhere.. but thought these looked pretty funny hanging around the corn machine.. for 25 cents you can feed them.. Chaya walked everywhere.. and we were there for hours.. Think this was her most exciting moment though.. she wanted to ride the other pony once she had had a ride on this one.. Her very first pony ride..

I have been busy relearning how to work on my website.. gives me a headache it does..lol
I opened an Etsy store this week too but haven't got alot on it as yet.. hope to get some more things added today..
I finished a few of these Snowman tin stars last night.. the other colors of hats and scarves aren't quite finished..

Well thanks for looking.. Hope everyone has a lovely day.. another gorgeous one here today.. almost makes up for the horrible summer.. Nah.. but it is nice...lol
