It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye...

...then it's hilarious! Hope I made you laugh (even just a little)

Learning to fly...

...but I ain't got wings. If I did it would be a perfect day to be learning.
This is a picture of the sky today. No clouds just sunshiny, blue sky and 52 degrees. Feels so nice I am wearing flip flops today!

That is all :)

What the hell is going on?

Yesterday morning I had to scrape a layer of ice off the car windshield. Today it is sunny and 52 degrees out. WTF? The weather here is crazy.

I decided to take advantage of the nice day and went outside to do some spray painting. Here are the results-

It was a painting day all around because Michael painted the wall in my studio this morning. See that green wall? That is now my "art wall" where I will hang some of my art and that of my friends. The rest of the room is white and I really like the contrast. Even better-a few months ago I got the paint for free!

Enjoy your weekend :)

PS-new stuff in the shop,more coming tomorrow

For Your Information

I L-O-V-E magazines! After I read them I tear them up to use then the rest goes in the recycle bin. But they are getting so expensive I thought I would share this sale at Amazon. In the past year I have decided to subscribe to the ones I buy regularly when I find a good deal.

From time to time people tell me they like my stuff and wonder where I get my images. Here are some of my faves-

Nylon

Marie Claire

Teen Vogue

Check 'em out.

Hush Hush...

Sometimes pages don't need extra words to convey my feelings. Let the pictures do the talking. Other times lots of words are required.

Do you date all of your journal pages? I never do. Just never think of it I guess.

Something special...

...to me.

In the midst of all my studio cleaning, purging, organizing, etcetera, etcetera, I have done some decorating as well. I hung these shoes by my desk. They belonged to my sister. I can't believe it has been almost 3 years without her.

Scenes From A Studio

I have been working at cleaning,purging,organizing all of the stuff that has been piling up in "my room". I want it to be usefull but pretty too. Saturday Michael is painting an accent wall for me-spring green. On that wall I am going to hang a bunch of my art work and some things I have received from my friends or purchased along the way.

As my friend, if you would like to send me a little something to hang on my wall I would love it! I will send some super good stuff in return! All I ask is that I can hang it on the wall-paper, fabric, wood, whatever.

So here are some pictures of the parts that aren't still too messy to show or just stuff I like really :)

I have a thing for jars and bottles paints and inks of all kinds

punch me-I love Martha Stewart punches

the closet-we removed the doors and installed shelves (I have since cleaned this up a bit :)

my studio guardian angel (she's also a bank!)

How about that! Speaking of studios,I gave in and purchased the latest issue of Studios magazine. Let's just say I am not satisfied. First of all the price is now $14.99-yes they claim it is bigger but not almost double the previous price bigger. It appears they are following in the Somerset/Stampington footsteps of book priced magazines. Second, there are a ton of different studios but only 2 pages of each at most. Where is everything else? When I see a studio article I want to see all of it. I would rather there be fewer different studios but more pictures of the ones that are there. I would also like to see more of what each of the artists produce in their spaces. I want to see someone's closet where they work or the corner of the livingroom that is theirs or...not everyone has a "studio". Don't these places count? (I think I am just ranting now,sorry)Anyone else have this magazine? What do you think? What do you like to see about other people's studios/art spaces?

I'm feeling better,can't you tell? Sadly the Divine Miss H is home from school. It is her turn to be sick :(

That is all :)
