A New Beginning

8 Jul

Lets see if I can start this off right. Too many years of saying “I need to do something”. Now is as good as it gets. In the next few weeks I will be retiring from real estate. I have officially started collecting Social security. I have been experimenting with mix media. I got a new camera that I will use for my watercolor paintings. Will be going on 2 cruises. Husband has proclaimed that we need to go on more road trips. Will be looking into the new camera and all its properties so that I can share all of the good things that I have to offer.

Thanks for stopping by.

Yellow Flower

 

Holiday are upon us.  And my middle keeps getting fatter.  Help.

It is bad when you have the Weight Watchers site up and next to that tab you have pecan pie.  This is so going to be hard.  Oh well.

I have some paintings almost done.  I know…. go in there and finish them.

Will have some more soon.  Need to go buy something to cut mat our myself.  Or I will just look it up like everybody else.

I know the lighting sucks on this one.  Oh well but it is a pretty item.  It has a candle in it.  There are 16 different colors on this one.

I need to get to work but have been a little busy with my somewhat real profession,  Real Estate Agent.  That is so much fun if you have the right people.  And I have been sick.

Warning …… I am working on another piece like the one above but it is electric!!! I need to sand the base on the new one to get rust off of it and finally got a lot of different types of brushes to get it down to metal then I will figure out what color.  Panels are almost done … there are 6 of them….

Too Much

4 Apr

I have Too Much to do and not enough time.

I am redoing my Cat/Craft room.  This will give me more room to do stained glass.  And maybe a bit more organized.

I also planted my tomatoes.  Let’s see if they will do any good.  I have no luck with tomatoes and a few other plants that do not like me.  I need some of Daddy’s green thumb.

Well today is another day.

Thank You Guadalupe County Master Gardeners.

Now I at least have an idea about how to do this Blogging Thing.  Hopefully I can jazz up this place with all my knowledge.  Learning and doing are fun if you have an interest in what you do.

I have a lot of  interest.  A lot of my interest are projects that are not
finished.

I will be sharing these projects with you along the way.

Thank you for joining me on getting all projects finished…

Lets see if I can start the new year off on the right foot.

So far so good.  Made a couple of Dr. appointments.  And

The year has just started I have plenty of time…..

At least I have lost some weight.  And I hope to lose some more.  Bobb got me a bike to actually ride outside in the elements.  Well today is not that day …. It is noon and it is not above freezing.  We live in South Texas.  Global Warming.  ???  So will be doing indoor stuff for a couple of days.

Need to get up and do …… well I am doing something…. right?
