Technical difficulties

I am so frustrated! I have an old computer and also an old camera, I am unable to download my pictures from my camera to my computer....@#$%^&*, I admit I have not been the best blogger over this past year, but I am in a better place now and I want to share some new artwork with you all and can't! Hopefully, I will get this issue settled soon.
Thanks as always for kind words!

I just won !

I just won a print of this fabulous painting by one of my favorite artists WYANNE! I am so excited! I never win anything, so when I received an email from Wyanne saying I had won, I was so very surprised and elated. She has weekly give-aways, all you have to do is leave a comment on her blog wyartjewels.blogspot.com and your name will be entered into the drawing. Thanks Wyanne!

In Bloom

I have finally have a new painting to share with you! She's called In Bloom. This is one of my favorite times of the year, the flowers are all starting to bloom and the colors are gorgeous!
Hope you like her, I am listing her on Etsy.
As always thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter!

Lately I have been spending a lot of time looking at design blogs.

There are so many wonderful ones out there, I could spend(and sometimes I do) all day looking at them all. One of my favorites is Life in the fun lane. Wow, that girl has skills! Anyway,I had this old dresser in our garage that we (hubby & me) picked up a while ago. I really wanted to do a fun color, so I looked through many magazines and countless blogs, and decided on yellow. I regret that I do not have any before pictures, which is a bummer because it was pretty hideous! I really deliberated over what knobs to use...I went to Anthropology at least 5 times and I still have one knob in mind...but for know this is it!

Bright Star

I went to see the movie Bright Star, about poet John Keats. He falls in love with the girl next door Fanny Brawne. The movie was so beautiful! I am a sucker for English movies anyway, but this was not just a beautiful story, it was visually breathtaking!

I was a little disappointed that Abby Cornish was not nominated for an Oscar!

Do yourself a favor, see this movie!

Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature’s patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
John Keats 1819

Has it really been that long?

Wow, It has been a long time since I've blogged!!! Like a lot of people I am getting ready for the holidays, and it seems like time is always getting away from me!

We recently had some family photos taken, it had been about 4 years since our last. My sister-in-laws friend did them. She was a sport we had all of my husbands family, it was no small feat! She really did a super job! Thanks Katie!



I just wanted to share with you a painting I just listed on Etsy, It's called "Someone to watch over me"


Have a Wonderful Christmas!
