Still Gardening

Well its been a Zoo Lately... Graduations, Decorating, Working on the yard. Got 2 Dogwoods planted. Ripped out a willow bush that had completely taken over the back corner of the house and now its looking good for getting 2 patio decks installed. Well I'm off to NYC this weekend for a convention.. Unfortunately I wont have alot of free time to shop.. I so want to go to Mood Fabric Store But I've got the digital camera with me so ill be snapping pictures. I have a friend that is in a black and white photography class and she is sharing her pictures with me for possible uses in the art work that I work on. Hopefully I'll post again before heading to Seattle next week.

Gardening Central

Its been gardening central around my house.. Just crazy.. building 2 patio decks, planting tons of flowers etc. My son will be graduating high school next year so I have got to have all the yard work done this year for the Graduation party next year.. At least thats the way I'm thinking so the plants and flowers will have time to grow in. Have had absolutely no time for the art work.. but the ideas keep streaming in my head and I keep writing them down. Taking lots of pictures too. I've lost my cable that connects my camera to the laptop but as soon as I do Ill post alot of pictures of what I'm doing.

Busy Weekend

Spent Saturday with some friends over in Ohio for their Son's 1st birthday party.. Does that bring back the memories. One the way back we stopped at the Casino boat. Woo Hoo We Won!!! Got up Sunday morning with all the intentions to to dye and paint,, but it was so beautiful outside I decided it was planting time.. So I had to dig up the 2 Wysteria vines I had started growing last year that died out.. the frost must have done something so I took them back where I got them and the gladly exchanged it. I'm so glad because at $60 a plant that can get costly if they dye out every year. Then I came back.. Planted the 2 new ones. planted about 50 bulbs, 4 ornamental poppies, lupiene and Pony Tail grass. So excited I got so much done. I'm still in the process of collecting pictures and such to build for my C&G Course so since I havent been creative in the Art side of things lately I'm posting my pictures as I post. Can you guess what this is?

Back from Florida

Well I'm back from Sunny Florida.. What a trip, of course it wasn't long enough with my mother. Sunday I'll be back in the swing of things. Have some things to finish up for Marion and then to start painting some fabric.
My cousin sent this picture yesterday. Ok does anyone know what it is? I have been collecting pictures of color for some time for my C&G Class. I'm only getting ready for the color wheel but collecting photos of color is great for having inspiration.
