Here are a few more little ditties.

I have signed up for watercolor classes.

7 sessions

starts tomorrow.

I want to learn to mix color.

how to get it to blend,

layer.....

I gotta get off the ducks and chicks!

but...I like them.

Note: In my last post on Michele's drawing

I spelled coming wrong. I put 2 m's. frustrating

I always spell it wrong!

A drawing inspired by a

photograph of my mom and aunt

when they little girls.

Just another chick.

I had originally put "waif",

on her front. Homeless child

without family and friends was

a little depressing. So I glued

on a new saying. Her nose looks

like she has sunscreen on it.

a little chick with polka dots.

boy in aqua shorts

baby boy

.

It is hard to say goodby to friends.

Michele was the head of our accounting

department. Oh ya michele was our accounting

department. She moved back home to Houston.

I made this for her.

We miss you!

We had a little going away party. The only day

it rained in weeks! (Michele is on far left.)

Summer time

and the livin is easy.

When I walk out the door

I think...perfect

the weather is unbelievable

I am enjoying every moment

I have filled my window boxes with

driftwood and beach, things that do not

need to be watered. Since I am only here

part of the week... window boxes need to

be watered every day.

I discovered cherries on my tree!

I tasted....they are tart

for baking.

Everything I had in this container died

over the freezing cold winter. These

little gems sprouted all by themselves.

I am working on a new vanity for

my bathroom. So I put the mirror

from the bath room to my outside entry.

I hung this the other day. Metal letters

Love red white and blue...

especially when it is aged and faded.

Picked these daisys from flower bed

at bunnies. Love the old bottle.

My 4th decor

I have been sketching. I love it...can't wait 

to get home, get out my sketch pad...sharp

pencil, eraser and play.

Last sunday I sat outside and painted.

I can't seem to get away from this chick.

I like her.

Off center because of big

coffee stain that was on the right.

It looks kinda messy.

cheep

I am just playing around.

more playing

My design studio- home 

It is quaint, rustic, imperfect, some issues 

and I love it.

I have wanted this my whole life.

  Here is where I can cook, read, write, draw,

 sew, solder, glue, or just sit and do nothing at all.

The tide coming in from Similk bay. The weather right now is so

perfect.  This is when Washington is the best place on earth to be.

I like solitude and freedom

 that I get during the week. 

Down a flight of stairs and you are on a 

driftwood carpet...maintenance free

I like the cat...the huntress

I like mood lighting.

I like birds.

I like clocks.

I like the serenity of these. 

I like thai red candles.

Ugly necessity...in an attempt to be organized.

I like aqua handmade ceramics.

The sink was free.

The faucet drips.

I like old cream thread.

I like oranges...

Reading on the Bloomsbury group, inspiration

for Laconner workshop.

I like my working area

Heaven with the doors open.

I like red.

I like birds...especially crows.

Here is the journal I kept while in New York.

I have posted it so that the first page is at the 

bottom.  Mistake...oh well.

I originally drew in pencil.

I have gone back and redrawn in ink.

My first attempt at a journal.

Looking at blogs and sketching 

things I liked.  A start.  Doodles.

I like menus....I like red
