My foot. Three years ago. I just love it.
Oy.
Been so very sick. Cooper even sicker. This is the longest, and sickest he has ever been and it is making me crazy. He just lies there. I decided to skip my first watercolour class tonight because I had a feeling he might need me, and yup..he threw up...which he never does. I am just so drained. My basement art corner is crazy messed up right now, I cannot even get near it. I had company on and off for almost a month, then we all got sick. I am so full of excuses. But there is always tomorrow.

My mom has been here visiting for almost two weeks now! I love it!
I really miss having my parents near by. She is showing me how to quilt which is awesome. I am dragging her to my art club tonight. It is just a business meeting tonight, but I am hosting it and she made green cupcakes for the occasion! My mom totally rocks.

Cold, colder, coldest.

Holy Snow Batman!
It snowed quite a bit here a few days ago, and it has been bitter cold ever since. I am a failed Canadian since I cannot handle the cold anymore.
I had my art club meeting the other day, and I feel better about it. I am trying not to feel judged, and I do serve a purpose in that I am introducing them to new art processes every time. They have pretty much been a strictly watercolour/pastel group and are just now trying the occasional acrylic paint. This is where I come in handy...I am an art supply addict. I have everything you can imagine. I love buying and using all kinds of supplies, and every time I come to the club I have a different project I am working on. Since I love the process part of art I am always experimenting with different techniques that I have learned about through books or magazines. Some of the other women are interested in looking at what I am doing which is cool. I know it makes some of them uncomfortable, but I have to not take that so personally. They are just completely new to the concept of altered art.
I am off to putter in the basement!
