Weekends!

I just love weekends! It's a time when I get to spend the days enjoying my family. Now, I've been off work for a couple weeks so I haven't had that typical 'can't wait for the weekend' feeling. But I still love them. Today we're heading off to church and then will have a short visit with my sister-in-law at her new apartment. Later I'll get to spend a little time with my granddaughter. I have really missed her the past several weeks! In the past few days I have continued to feel creativity flowing. This piece I had posted on facebook and called it complete. Once I saw the picture online though I realized it wasn't finished at all! So this is the newly completed piece. Im pretty happy with it, and it seems to make people smile and that makes me happy! Have a great Sunday!

Back to it!

So I realize that it's been a really, really long time since I've posted anything. I'm sorry for that! I started working full time and the job just exhausted me. I had no time to create anything. Add to that my son and grandson moved into where my studio was and all my studio stuff got crammed into a spare room. I couldn't get to anything in order to paint.

That happened in October. Fast forward to March. I'm still working the full time job only I've been off work for a couple weeks. Being the clutz I am, I sprained my ankle. Apparently I sprained it pretty good too. The doctor called it a serious injury. I've spent the last two weeks sitting around trying to stay off my feet to rest the ankle. I'm going stir crazy! I finally dug my way into the spare room and pulled out a few things. Here's my first creation since before Christmas.



Because I'm still in pain and my foot is still swollen, I'e been given 2 more weeks off work. I get to wear a lovely boot and do physiotherapy too! What that means is that there will be a lot more creating going on. I'm even considering teaching a few classes!

And I promise, even when I go back to work, I wont neglect my blog - or you!
