Paint Party Friday ....or Weekend :)

Another quick Apron for co-worker who donated some really cool yarn  to my 

"100 Hats for Charity in 2013" 

Loving all of cool yarn I'm getting from these FANTASTIC people  that I work with . 

I even have them bringing in BIG Bags and Totes full. Who would have guessed that my spare room would be full of donated yarn from all of the "PEEPS" at the Wentzville Missouri Home Depot!

Paint Party Friday May 3, 2013

It's Friday!!!

I don't know about where you are but here in Missouri it's wet and cold again :(  I'm more than done with this damp chilly weather and all of the aches and pains that come with it! 

So to get myself out of the weather funk today I decided to finger paint!!!

I've been following 

Naomi Silver

on facebook and lover her style. 

Check her art out here :

Since my new studio will be in the basement and I want to make it as bright as possible I painted a big bold bright scene on plywood for the room .

I can pretend I'm at the beach while I'm in my room playing :)

and a little thought for the day too :) 

Paint Party Friday...very ...very ...LATE :)

I haven't been hiding I promise....I've just been sorta busy ans sorta withdrawn. Not really anything wrong ...just kind of feeling like keeping to myself.

I'm still painting aprons at work and my yarn stash is starting to take over the house ♥♥♥♥♥

I don't know where I am going to start keeping it if it keeps coming in at this rate. My co-workers have been EXTREMELY generous :) 

I have 30 hats done so far and the crocheting will slow down for a bit so that I can get my garden in and my yard tidied up. Plus work is starting to get super crazy and I don't have a whole lot of energy left when I get home.  I'll get used to the extra activity soon and then I won't be so wiped out. Happens every Spring :) 

I have been missing everyone here so I'm going to try and keep up better. 

So now I'm off to catch up on some more great art ♥

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY

My Inspirational Quote Deck is finished and in the mail. This was such a fun challenge and I can see myself making many more of these decks.

It's been a creative week here. Along with finishing off the deck I got 3 hats done bringing my total for the year to 24. We're moving right along only 76 more to go :) 

I also dyed eggs this week ♥

No kiddies here for Easter but read this great tutorial on dyeing eggs with onion skins and just had to try it! They came out this luscious red color and were so simple to do. Plus Hubs and I got to eat fantastic eggs salad sandwiches ♥ 

Now I'm off to get a couple of more aprons done for more yarn and I have a ton of stuff to get done here at the house before Tuesday when the appraiser comes :( 

Don't forget to check out all of the amazing work at

Paint Party Friday

Hello Old Friends

I know I have been missing in action for some while now....I do drop in and check up on folks...just have a lot on my plate right now and have been reducing my  cyber time.

 I have been keeping busy and still searching for the missing Muse. 

To keep myself creatively active I have started painting aprons for co-workers. I paint on their work aprons and they donate yarn to my Hats for Charity goal for 2013. I made the first one on a whim for a friend and she picked up the baton and started an all out campaign for yarn. Here's her apron...

...and this is just a sampling of the yarn that has been donated since ..

My goal for 2013 is 100 hats :)  I have already finished 18  and with the help of my co-workers and friends I think we are going to reach that goal and have some pretty cool warm home made hats to give away. 

I've also been working on my my Inspirational Quote Card Deck and will get that out in the mail in a few days.

Now if I could only wake up Mother Nature so she can turn on the Spring weather here ! So anxious to get out in the warm sun and play in the dirt  ♥♥♥♥♥

My First DreamBoard

I have recently discovered Jamie Ridler and her work with DreamBoards. I love her outlook and her willingness to share her creativity with others. 

Check her out here:

http://jamieridlerstudios.ca/full-moon-dreamboard-the-full-snow-moon?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+JamieRidlerStudios+%28Jamie+Ridler+Studios%29&utm_content=Yahoo%21+Mail

I'll be trying very hard to create a new dreamboard with her every month on the full moon.

This month was the Full Snow Moon and  and the question:

"What desires lie deep with in?" 

Here's what I came up with for my first board :)

29 Faces Catch Up and Paint Party Friday

I really have been doing the 29 Faces challenge and I"m really not that far behind...

Except when it comes to posting them :( 

Seem to have run in to some type of mental block with posting on any of my 3 Blogs...

So unlike me to not have a thing to say. 

So here are the faces I have done so far .....

Pencil sketches of a really cool statue I picked up at a resale store...

Mixed media painting on a laminate sample..  

Another pencil sketch which will probably be painted later on..

...one more laminate sample mixed media...

...pencil sketch of the statue.... 

....My most read book..."GONE WITH THE WIND" ... old and yellowed... the dog at the cover and first several pages...it's been dropped in the tub (guilty as charged here ) and I still can't make myself throw it away... so it's being used as background pages in mixed media ...

THE FIND!
The statue that will end up in the flowerbed around the fishpond...I do love yard art or art in the yard :0) Not to mention thrift store finds are a real HIGH!
