Spring is finally here.....
It's official.....Spring begins today....and I am so excited. I have blooms popping out everywhere....just love to look out and see even the stray weeds that have come to life in the past week here. Today is only going to reach the low 70's windy and sunny.....just a little let down from the mid 80's we had yesterday.....but clear blue skies as far as you can see.
Last week we had kids home for Spring Break....lots of fun....beach...shopping...eating out...beach....more shopping...late night movies...ice cream...beach...kids coming and going day and night...sand...flip flops...swimsuits and beach towels everywhere....but it was worth it. Only a few more weeks and it will all start again for the summer!
A couple nights ago I decided to check in on a few of my favorite blogs and if you have not visited Nina Bagley's blog Ornamental lately you are missing some great reads. Especially this one where she talks about spending time with her parents in their little cabin. It was a perfect ending to my day....so whether you are starting your day or calling an end to one....I think you will enjoy it....I certainly did.
I finally finished another collage yesterday...actually the picture was taken while it was still drying....so please excuse the mess around the art couldn't wait to share....There are 18-20 layers of paints glazes mediums and papers....tons of drying time....I don't much care for that part....I'm not know for waiting long! Have several more pieces in the works and will share with you soon.
A couple years ago I took an online organizational class taught by Alyson Stanfield....she has a wonderful website and her book "I'd rather be in the studio!" is filled with wonderful tips on self-promotion. Now mind you....you actually have to do what she recommends for this to work....I already was doing some of it, but there were things I knew I needed to be doing and seeing it in black and white just makes it somehow easier to see the big picture. So if you are looking for a little guidance in promoting yourself....take a look at what she has to offer.
I have a few things I want and need to finish up today as Steve is home for four days and as much as I enjoy his being home...I just don't get as much done. I am counting on beautiful warm sunny days so we can work in the yard and head to the beach for a sunrise or sunset....maybe both.
Wishing each of you a wonderful Easter weekend.
Debbie
You have outdone yourself on this one! I have been watching your new additons closely but, this one jumped out at me!
It is fighting with "Our Little Ones" and "Old-Fashioned Flowers" for my favorite.
Who could notice the "mess" for the awesome
piece of art?
Keep creating-
Tommie
P.S. How's Colby?
