A Quick Note!

I will try again to post!   Typepads updating is a slow process, with many bumps, and I for one am not happy with them....I know that I just need have patience though!!   I have been very busy,  getting both my decks stained.  They now look very rich and nice.   The garden is mostly in, and even growing.   Soon I will be having some lovely lettuces, and my wheat grass for juicing again!!!  Very excited about that!   I am still painting, and finishing up things,  knitting, a baby quilt, etc, for an up and  coming baby shower for my son and daughter in-law.  SHE, will be coming end of August.  Very exciting, as the coming birth of all my grandchildren has been!  I will post more pictures has Typepad enables me, still is slow, and scary has things freeze up and DISAPPEAR!  Which is frustrating having to type out the "blah blah" for the 100th time!!!!! Till then, keep breathing, keep creating!.....

Paintings and Shower prizes!

I have been busy painting on canvas, I am using acrylic, instead of oil, which I have always used in the past and enjoyed.  I also apply texture, and do alot of layering.  The other addition is words, or the word!  I am going where I feel led with these.  It is great fun, and a release in myself as I am doing it!

These will have to be framed yet.

I love the colors, how they blend into depth, and texture!

This one I really love and feel moved when I look at it.  Angel wings, as He covers you, hides you, protects you, gathers you.....

There is some scripture peaking out of his wing.

I have also finished my prizes for a baby shower for my daughter  in-law!  I hope they will like!

I made 4 necklaces and the knitted Chip Bag from Stitch Poet!  I also want to make the Hobo Bag!

The inside has lots of pockets...one wants cool, but needs practical!

I know the right person will get it at the shower!

Mothers Day!

Mothers day was very special this year.  My daughters had me meet them at the Olive Garden to eat!  We had a great time, and enjoyed the meal much, laughed, and relaxed.  I'm sure it was a gift for them as well!  I received cards from all my children and daughter in-law!  Grandchildren as well.  Found myself very "full" of being loved indeed!  Thank you all for your special part in my day!

After I got home, I just spent the time finishing up a few touches for Sunday,  I was having my Mother, sisters and family come for lunch.

I lit my newfound candle holder, enjoyed my picked before the rains came, tulips, and was thankful in my heart for the showers of goodness of my Lord and savior Jesus! 

May all Mothers be strengthened, blessed, and know their worth and place that is upon them as we nurture, give and do everyday many times with no thanks, or no one to cheer them on!

Paris Swap! Birthday Party and Painting!

Sweet Goodness Swaps had another good swap, I just had to be a part of!  Paris in the Springtime!  My partner was Julie, from California!  A very sweet gal, mother, wife.  Very creative and special!  Her blog spot and shop is here.  Joy's Hope!  This is what she sent me...I just loved it all!  A box, chock full of Joy's goodness!  Paris themed sign, stickers, chocolate! Milk glass vase, yarn, cards, a beaded ornament of my last name initial!  Wonderful...thank you again Julie!

I had the pleasure of meeting some new women has we celebrated a mutual friend of ours...Marsha!  She is also my kineseologist!  My "health doctor".   God has really used her in my life and in many lives as well!  May she continue to be blessed with all that she needs in every way!

We all had a great afternoon of sharing in her day!  Love you Marsha!

On another note!  I have felt that...being led, again, to paint!  So I am, different than before.

Love it!

Very layered, textured, with a message that is only known in the interpretation of the viewer!  I have to say the photo's don't do it justice.  I will try to take some more!

Be Blessed!
