I want to thank everyone who has signed on to come along with me on this

journey and who also took the time to leave me a nice comment. I have to

tell ya all that I have been reading blogs for about a year now. I just thought

since I am so good at talking on the phone, I am sure that I can find something

to write about!

I am painting and sewing to get some things done for a juried show this fall. The

deadline for the application is only a couple weeks away....so, I had better paint

faster! I really like Terrye French designs and I have painted some things with

her patterns. I started painting in 1979, but I quit about 1995...Awhile back, I decided

I should be painting again, so I am back at it and I am sure glad that I did! I have some

ornaments around here that I kept for patterns, and a sawblade that I painted for my hubby.

Believe it or not, I only have one thing on the wall that I painted, and it is a picture

of eggs.....I have painted them in frying pans before and they are cute hanging in the kitchen. I

want to paint portraits of children, like you would see back in the 1700-1800's and also get into

rug hooking and needle felting. I only want to do rugs and wall hangings for my house, not to

sell. Below is a picture of some of the things I have been working on......At least I hope there is

a picture below! This thing posted it above and then lines have not been evenly spaced, some

lines have only half the print.....Gee, I hope I can figure this thing out before the day is over!
