Back to having creative time....



The last two months have been very busy, but they also have seemed to pass very quickly. My older son has almost completed his track season and tomorrow will be the last day for volleyball. I have spent the last two months coaching a small elementary school's volleyball team. We have a combination team of 6th thru 8th graders. It is always fun to see how much they have all improved throughout the season. However, I'm ready for my free time again too! It has been surprising to me to observe how many adults seem to forget that these teams should be a time for fun. I have been shocked to hear some of the comments coming out of the mouths of grown-ups who by all rights should definitely know better. But in fear of following that path, I'll stop now and share with you this photograph. Tomorrow is a tournament for volleyball to be followed with a "Parents vs. Players" game on Friday. This is a picture of the many sea lions that hang around Pier 39 in San Francisco. I'll just keep these guys envisioned until tomorrow night. The second photo is of cityscape with the help of a color filter, until next time.................say it with me, "Ohm..................................."

Look at what I have at my house.........

The text and pictures on this post dont exactly line up, which proves to me and anyone else reading this, that I am computer challenged.
I had a chance to work with fabric markers over the weekend. I am pretty happy with how the tote bag turned out. I need to find something to protect the design, probably some kind of coating?
I made a set of gift tags for a Mothers Day gift. I decoupaged a couple of my drawings and added some paint. I like how they turned out.
If you're feeling adventurous, keep scrolling.........................the best picture is last!









Dont be shy.....................keep scrolling......








I was lucky to be quick enough at Noodle and Lous last shop update to snag a house! I am very pleased and have to apologize for the bad photograph. I have put it in a spot with some of my favorite things. Thanks Jenn!
