What a whirlwind two weeks I have had!  My friend Jan flew in and kept me company for 15 days - we arted big time.  I own an online group, An Affair with Art, and we created art for several of the monthly swaps - I worked through May.  While i adore my online group, I never seem to be able to find time to do private projects - now I have the time.   True Colors Book Swap is on my agenda -  Yea!

Hello ~ I've worked on row houses today, they're a favorite of mine.  My group is in the midst of a Valentine Row House Swap and I decided to make a couple more for friends.

Since purging has been on my mind for awhile, I made the decision last night to trash an Iris cart full of handmade books and instructions - I made these little books when I attended a bookmaking class/session in St. Francisville, LA probably 15 years ago.  That means a whole freed-up Iris cart!  Whatever shall I fill it with?

I'm expecting a visit from the little bitties tomorrow - What fun to be a grami!

Until next time ~

Let The Weekend Begin

It's Friday afternoon  - I am so ready for my friends' bright smiles and sweet laughter!    

The groceries are laid in - lots of fresh veggies, fruits, salad makings, and ground chicken for meatballs with marinara sauce.  Oh, I am wilting some spinach in a skillet with a bit of minced garlic - lightly toasting long bun halves with mozzarella cheese then adding the wilted spinach - yummo!

The art studio is clean- my cleaning ladies cleaned the sitting area in my art room yesterday and I managed to clean off 2 of my worktables.  My table still needs about an hour of purging/putting away.

Art to do - There are plenty of unfinished art projects stacked by my work station. 

Another couple of hours and the fun begins!

Can you believe it's been almost 8 years since I've posted on this blog.  Lots of life changes for sure.   If you find my blog, you are always welcome to comment.

Health issues caused me to be unable to plan and hold art retreats any longer - but I can still art and have fun very small retreats at my house.

This weekend 3 of my good friends are coming over and art together.  I plan to catch up of some unfinished projects.

Later Friends!
