Spending time in my sewing room making a new hobo bag and trying not to think about how messed up we have become in five short months.
The only swearing I did was when a pin got me. It was a nice change from saying the “f” word every 5 minutes.

Got an email from social security tonight. Thought what the hell until I remembered that there wasn’t a normal person in charge anymore. Can’t even send them back a hearty “Fuck you” became of retribution. 😢🤮

We don’t have lots of flowers yet but here is a calming spring brook. Very soothing and calming.

It’s been a while since I shared any creative stuff so here are a couple of pictures of my current works in progress. Christmas ornaments and some collage/mosaic artwork.

Gardening (digging out mint mostly), meditation, and creating art. Color isn’t the best but you get the idea.

Focaccia bread ready to go in the oven. I think I need to use two baking sheets next time. They are “kissing” both ends of the sheet.

Since it snowed here again over night I thought it was a good time to share some artwork reflecting warm sunny days at the beach. I finished this piece last week and am now in the process of switching out sewing machines so I can work on bigger pieces if I want.

It's awful dreary today in upstate NY so I figured it was a good time to share some bright and cheerful Spring artwork. Enjoy!

New Project. I decided it needed something to break up the hard line of the water. Note to self, in the future put on some hand lotion before trying to work with the silk. I think I like the way it looks though and will some after I get the sand completed and the palm tree added.

Deciding if I should offer custom orders for this type of artwork. Let me know what you think.

I redid my little studio and all-of-a-sudden I had room for my easel again. It's nice to have a place I can stand back and look at my work again. I haven't decided yet if this current piece is going to be the ocean or a lake with trees. Stay tuned...

Think Spring! It's going to be almost 60 degrees and sunny today! Maybe the snow will be gone (at least for now) by tomorrow.

My focaccia bread heading to the oven last week. Making more this morning. Fresh bread is the best!

Got myself a new teapot last week (a new prop for my snack mats). Those little balls are foam beads, and they were a pain in my arse but strangely fun at the same time. Spent a good half hour laughing while trying to get them to behave. Think static electricity...

Here are the pictures for mine. It was a Birthday present from my husband in the 1980's or 90's. We lived on Long Island at the time and the person he it bought it from had family in Scotland. That is all I know about its history. Let me know if I missed anything you needed.

My creative muse has apparently gone on a much-needed vacation so no new artwork to share this week. Teach me to skip meditation for a week. 🤦♀️Anyway, here is a nice calming picture to start your weekend.

Probably some of the last snack mats I make for awhile. Decided to reopen my Goimagine shop (not closing my Etsy shop) and focus on making art. Much less stress and more fun.

Finished this a few days ago. I'm making mug rugs this week; they seem to be the only thing I'm selling in this crazy world we are currently living in.
Will start some new art next week. I haven't decided yet what it will be, so stay tuned.

I wonder if I will be able to find the piece of fabric I’m looking for? This is my very scary tub of green scraps.

Working on a lawn today. This artwork is based on a picture of Alaska that I saw a few years ago.

I'm really happy with the way this one turned out. Almost makes me want to keep it. I already have more than enough art scattered around the house though.
