Sewing some new little clutches

I'll be participating in a Home Show with some friends in March. I'll be making little quilted clutches, baby bibs and a few baby quilts. Here is one of the clutches, the the right size for your keys, cell and ID.

Getting ready for Valentine's Day

Here's another project for the library, "altered" hearts.

Elsie Dresch Workshop

I attended an Elsie Dresch pastel workshop today. She demonstrated how to use pastel and mineral spirits for the background and then paint on top of that. First we had to do a small painting. Here is mine of a canal in Venice. Now I just have to transfer it to the larger painted sheet of paper. Check back to see the finished painting.

Have a Blessed Christmas

Library bulletin board

Sometimes I do a little community service. Here I have painted a few polar bears for the children's area in our local library.

A TRUE work of Art!

My daughter and her friends were with us for Thanksgiving. They made this wonderful Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake which was the hit of the meal, not to mention it is a true work of ART!

Birthday Card

I made a 90th birthday card for my friend Inez who does wonderful pastels. I used photos I took on a recent trip to Monteagle.

AN ARTIST TURNS NINETY

A lovely member of my outdoor painting group turned ninety and we all surprised her with a dinner and "painting exchange". Happy Birthday Inez!

Get out and Vote!

I wanted to document this election by taking a photo of my absentee ballot. Tomorrow we will either have our first female vice president or our first African American president. A very historic election!! Either way, I'm glad it will be over tomorrow. Hopefully we can get on with it!
