Overall obsession

Here I am today in Mondays bibs

Below is my collection of overalls

14 or more

Side pocket is great for my cell phone : )

Create in comfort

I was thinking about how I wanted to celebrate International Overalls Day.

Every day this week I plan on posting a photo of me in my overalls : )

I'll try to fancy them up : )

The overalls I am wearing in this photo are probably 7 or 8 years old, my mother in law gave them to me for a Christmas gift from the Sundance catalog.

Thank you Granny : )

They are a mint green thick cord version.

I wil post a link to this soon

A few things I did today

After watching this youtube video called "The Omo People"

I was inspired to start painting this.

I have totally enjoyed making this. Lots of fun

Then I went for a haircut and when I backed out of the parking spot I forgot about that 3 ft pole I parked next to. : (

I think I was 23 the last time I hit something boohoo

Thank goodness for my man Mike
We already have an appointment tomorrow morning to get her repaired.

Sometimes life can be a Grey Gareden of sorts

A commissioned piece for my good friend Suzanne Oreo looking cute as always...in my tissue paper basket
Not wanting me to leave with the painting


My witchy witch

I know it has been so long since I've written here. Life can keep ya busy, that's for sure! Some of you know that the company my husband was working for closed up back in August, right when I was getting ready to leave for my first art retreat. I went to AZ and had a wonderful time with Dawn and all the art I was exposed to. When I got home is when I started thinking about Mike not having a job. Hannah seemed to take it the hardest, I just kept telling her that Dad will find a new job and all still goes on, as it did. Yesterday was Mikes first day with the new company. Hooray!

So for the last month or so I've been here in my studio, working on my "Gut Art" as well as my journaling and teaching others to create as often as their schedule will permit. I create every day, even if I don't post here, know that I am arting and that is whats most important.

Hannah is doing well in high school, has definitely taken her a bit, but doing well. My Zack boy seems happy away at college. He has been a kid who has fought ADD and this year he is going without any ADD meds! His choice and is doing well. Bravo!

I will try to post some photos of what I've been creating and give you peeks of what I'll be making for my once a year sale that takes place December 6.

Thanks to all of you that have written to me or left a comment.

Always makes me smile

: )

Have a great day

I'll try to not be such a stranger

A different guitar

I needed to walk away from the bass guitar on Sunday

Sometimes I get too tense and need to step away...so I did

Walked out to the garage and found this sitting there waiting for me,

so I spent Sunday painting a (real) guitar just for the fun of it.

Have a great day

My 100th post : ) took me just over a year

Here is a photo of our little OREO

He was the kitty we brought back from our trip to VT

OREO has done nothing but win the hearts of most all that walk through the doors. Here he lays in the "scrap" basket in the art room.

A few journal pages

And last but not least ... my guitar

I finally decided to paint the body a red, a red mixed with a little paynes grey.

The photo looks so orange : /

I hope to be done with this by next weekend so that it can go to its new home : )

Have a great weekend

Happenings in the artroom

I know I've been away from blogland for a bit, but here are a few pics of whats been going on.

Here is my inspiration corner

An old guitar I painted over 3 yrs ago

The bassists guitar and a tree painting he liked

Here is the guitar I was commissioned to do for a bass player in Zacks band

I like the background, but I'm a bit stumped with the body of the bass...We'll see what comes of it
I've also been making some journals
I'll post some pics of those later when the sun is out.
