hello Monday

Another dreary winter day...

...but thankful that I'm not getting the snow that others are.

a happy shadow

I awoke a few days ago to this smiling creature in my bedroom window. It's a big rusty iron crab that I put in the window while vacuuming and forgot to put back on the floor.

Creepy or cute?

It gave me a chuckle and I thought I'd pass it along.

Happy Monday!

rainy day

It's rainy

it's cold

it's damp

and it's supposed to start snowing....

It's a perfect studio day!

I hung up my antique quilt for a curtain in the sun room and it keeps it warmer in the room.

I painted the saying on an old cabinet door. We decided to retire in Delaware....it's where we met...fell in love...and married.

And we both love the beach!

And no sales tax....it's a good thing.

Happy Wednesday!

Art is.....

I love this saying.

It's another gray day here on the east coast.

Today I am working in the studio.

Still lots of work to do to get it the way I want so I can start working.

Have a great Wednesday!

back again!

Hello again from the east coast!

Geez, I've been gone from blogland for so long I have almost forgotten how to post. First of all, let me explain my long absence. My computers hard drive crashed! It's a new computer.....not even a year old yet. The company argued and said it could not happen. ell it did and we had to have a new hard drive sent and then waited for a geek to come out and install it. And yes I lost everything. All my photo's. No I didn't back it up.
Lesson learned. I seem to like to learn things the hard way.

Then there's the bad leg. Found out I have torn my meniscus in my knee and need to have surgery to fix it. I see the surgeon this Thursday.

Then there is the doggone snow.

I can't drive my car in this stuff!

Since I have been housebound and stuck downstairs....I painted some funky walls. I painted my hallway like this. I used some brighter colors then used a brown wash to tone it down. I really love it.

I do have some fabric art I am working on and will share some later on this week.

Have a great weekend!

Golden Globes tonight.

random friday

Still playing with the hipstamatic.

Have a great weekend!!

update

Sadly no art is being generated at this time...

For the past 7 weeks now I have been suffering with pain in my back and leg. Being new in the area I was going to use the base here for my medical. I called for an appointment and explained that I was experiencing some severe pain and they gave me an appointment 4 weeks out. So finally the day came for my long awaited appointment and I drove an hour to get there only to be told that my appointment was cancelled and someone was supposed to have called me. No one called me and I was near tears and asked if someone could see me. NO! Not today....go to the emergency room. So I asked where it was....we dont have one, you need to go downtown.

I went home and started what I needed to do to see someone sooner off base.
After hours of talking to some pretty nasty people on the phone and some paperwork I finally was set up with a new PCM. A nurse...they couldn't see me for weeks and gave me a 10 minute appt. and she told me she didn't want to be my PCM. I agreed that I needed a real doctor and now I am scheduled to see him in JANUARY!

Today I see a back doc.....but my back is better after a round of steroids. I am supposed to see a knee guy but they said the back doc will take care of it.OK...we'll see.

So I have a fluid accumulation on my knee and I can barely walk at times and can't handle stairs very well and guess where my computer is now? Yep....upstairs.

So bear with me with my sorely neglected blog....hopefully things will get resolved today and I can finish getting this studio set up and start making some art again!!

Have a great day!

It's 28 degrees today!

Brrrrrr!

slow day

I guess everyone is cyber shopping today...

...computer is very sloooow!

Off to see another doctor today.

Hoping they can fix my leg or at least tell me what is wrong.

The pain is too bad to wait until my regular appointment on the 7th.

Lots to get done for the holiday season and I need my leg.

Anyway....think happy stuff!
