Today I drove down to Newbury to paint with one of my favorite instructors, Cynthia Erikson. After only six hours this is what I drove home with, a Patriotic Santa Dummy Board.
He isn't finished yet, there is still linework to do and some shading but all in all, a good show for a few hours work. I am hoping to finish him tomorrow. Nothing like a completed piece to remind me of how much I love painting.
I hope you spent your day doing something that makes your heart happy...nothing makes my heart happier than a day of painting! If you've never given the brush a try....well, you just wouldn't understand! LOL!
A better pic will follow once it is complete. Stay tuned!
So what did you do today? Anything FUN????
No, laundry does not count as a fun activity; and cooking, nope, that's a "no go" too....LOL! Only fun, "I did this for ME!" stuff counts...c'mon, think hard...what did you do for yourself today?
If your answer was "Nada!", then remeber, there's still one more day this weekend that you can claim as your own. Go ahead, take the day and do something fun. You know you want to.... so do it! LMK what you're up to! B=)
PS..I will have a painted piece to giveaway. No, not my Santa... a secret piece! I will ask GP to draw from among
those who share what they did for themselves...only selfish, "I did this for myself" entries qualify. LOL! Yeah, I encourage "Me" time, what can I say???LOL!
OOps. I'll draw a winner tomorrow night. You have one more day to do something for yourself...so go ahead and do it, and then tell me about it....I can't wait to read all about it!

I'm so excited! 
I did it! I finished my Santa Dummy Board! It was finally warm enough outside (OK, so it was only 30 but it was "warmer" than it's been all week, LOL!) and I ventured outside to varnish him and take a pic.
GP says, "Oh, we don't have time for this!" as I intersect him on his way to bed in his Jammies; bowl in hand and camera in tow. I had to laugh. I said, "Only a quick winner, you can do it!" so he rolls his eyes and follows me back to the kitchen to pull the winner and pose for the handshot, LOL~!

Meet Pebbles the Pumpkinhead and Hershel the cat. They've decided to move into the Pumpkin Patch and have traveled here from
This is a new kit I've added to the shoppe. I'm so sick and tired of the cold; I am dreaming of warmer days and bright orange pumpkins while making this adorable little mat.
My pic's colors are off, I will try to get an outdoor, true color pic posted when I'm done. I just wanted to share my progress, lest you think that I am slacking off or something, LOL! Trust me, I'm working here!
Finding the right piece of furniture to add to a tiny house is no small feat. It takes hours of searching, measuring and planning. Then along comes a piece that makes you say, "HMMM> I can find a spot for that!" and "WHAM!" Next thing you know you're crossing your fingers and hoping that it's all you expected. The wait seems interminable, the days long after the UPS man has made his stop.... and you just sort of forget why you were so psyched.
