October Saturday

Took a little walk as there is not much ART going on just now. We are enjoying a beautiful October morning in Texas. The Tall Goldenrod Solidago altissima is beautiful. It blooms in September and October here.

Remember I grow weeds!
This is Common Wild Petunia Ruellia nudiflora. The bloom period here is April to October.




I believe this is Yellow Bitterweed Helenium amarum. An annual with a bloom period of April to November.




OK, so we will be attending our 45/44 year class reunion tonight. That should be fun. Can't wait to see who shows up.

In the meantime I think this golden and purple has inspired me.......but first, I must find my workspace. Know what I mean?

Meet Lady Susan

She is in my "in progress" stack. Maybe I will continue with her next. I am having trouble with energy at night. I am also having trouble with no "art at the desk" time.
But did I tell you that I spent over 2 hours on that "think tank"? Thinking and mowing. Boy that feels good even though I didn't finish. ART has trumped yard work this year. I'm OK with tall grass down by the creek and behind the tank and over by the Garden Palace. I just call it my Tall Grass Meadow.
I also blessed the bedroom and the big news is I moved that dad- blamed treadmill out of the bedroom and to the office. And even better news, I walked it yesterday and today.

Maybe I did this...


Yes, I did and now I can check this off the list. Was it on the list? Still tweaking my purse design and have others running around in my head. So now I will go get on the "think tank" and mow while I think.

Weekend List

This is the time that I start thinking, "what shall I do this weekend." I live for the arrival of the weekends. Usually have such great plans to get so much done. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't (get so much done). My mental energy level is usually way higher than my physical energy level.

Here is another lady project in progress. Maybe this weekend I will bring these ladies to their glory. Maybe this weekend I will do the cover for my "True Colors" journal. Maybe this weekend I will do some much needed sewing for myself. Maybe this weekend I will finish the canvas in progress. Maybe this weekend I will vacuum. Maybe this weekend I will do another of these fused ladies (love them). Maybe this weekend I will get on that riding mower (think tank) and do that job. Maybe this weekend I will dust and clear a couple of hot spots in the bedroom. Maybe this weekend I will....

She Liked It

May be an unusual birthday
card but she is our princess
of all seasons.

This is the front and back of card.

I printed the scan on
white tissue paper using
several different hues.
This just evolved.

By the way, I am now
addicted to the Sharpie
poster-paint White
water-based marker.

Happy Birthday....Ashley

Our Granddaughter Princess is seventeen today. I haven't made her birthday card yet but my "Art-to-go Bag" is supplied with the necessary bits and pieces to produce it here at my desk.

Happy Birthday Ashley

and many more.....


She was my model for this sketch. I'm thinking I will use is somehow on her Happy Birthday Card. Maybe I will get it done in time to post later today. Please do come back and see.

ART in the Kitchen

So far this is all I have created this weekend. Canned biscuits fashioned into homemade cinnamon rolls. Yummy! Made by special request.
I'm off now to create something spectacular because I have just had a !!!FLASH!!! of inspiration.

I'll bring it back to you when I'm done.
