Catching Up

 

January has found me cleaning out...

yes, again.

I am definitely simplifying my art life!

 

The above books were donated to my local library...

as were at least twice that many last spring!

 

....

and

....

 

I'm on The 17 Day Diet

 

 

.... and I was quite effected by the death of Lady Sybil....

Image and info here!

 

.... all I got right now...

 

 

You Should Get These!

 

These are about 6 ft tall hinged canvas screens at Hobby Lobby.

 

They are two sided.

 

There are 4 panels.

 

When I saw them a couple of weeks ago they

were "on sale" for $70.  I would like them to be less.

 

But... that's not a bad price if you consider that you could take the hinges off and

you would have 4 separate LARGE canvases....

 

You could do some of that wonderful artwork you see on Pinterest....

 

like here!

 

Really anything that you would do on canvas.

 

They were as wide as from my elbow to the tip of my index finger....

 

Let me know if you get one and alter it....

 

 

January Marches On!

 

I do love Paperwhites!

They have got to be the easiest bulb to grow!

 

 

I've been a very bad blogger these last few months...

and I certainly don't seem to be improving in 2013.

 

So thought I'd try to share a bit...

 

Although I can grow Paperwhites,

I'm struggling with a couple of

Pyramind Hollies

in front of my house...

 

The people that know about this sort of thing

advised me to pull them up and add more

soil and water them more.

 

I thought they were maybe rotting....

no, they don't think so.....

 

I just bought them in December and

they were NOT cheap...

I am determined to save them!

 

Any expert advice?

(major leaf loss and no sign of insects)

 

I also FINALLY repaired a hole in The Pink Artists Quilt!

(None of the old links for that group work!!!)

Someone had used something resembling a whisk broom in it and it

had cut the fabric.  The quilt is very heavy and I had to fix the hole

before I can hang it.

 

DH is helping me hang it during halftime in the playoff game

that is on right now...

 

I'll show ya soon!

 

 

 

And my granddaughter keeps me a little busy...

not much....

but enough...

 

She saw her shadow Friday....

 

 

and then there was the Cotton Bowl

which the Aggies won!

And Johnny Manziel!

 

Here is a shot of my granddog wearing his tshirt well!

 

I'm going to try to do better

or

I might stop blogging...

 

I think I'm running out of blog stuff...

 

 

Have Yourself A Blessed 2013

 

I hope you had a beautiful Christmas...

and I wish for you a glorious 2013!

 

(See I did finish granddaughter's stocking...

maybe I'll get her name on it by next year!)
