Gardening, music, life with MS
I saw this painting in a magazine and liked it a lot. I thought it would look good by the coffee bar in the house in NC. I researched it and found that it costs around $2000. I then decided I would try and paint something like it. This has been an ongoing project for […]
Last week I was invited to my friend Stevie’s home and we planned on making some beeswax covers. We only needed three ingredients and they were fairly easy to make. The ingredients were: beeswax chips, pine resin and jojoba oil. We started with all cotton fabric, cutting different sizes with pinking shears, so not to […]
This week I took another class at The Cultural Art Center at Glen Allen, “Mandala Drawing.” We were given a rock that was painted a flat black, and a tool set and acrylic paints. It was simply creating a pattern, repeating in a specific color combination and adding embellishments. I will continue to make them […]

For Christmas last year my son bought some tools for toddlers. He thought that since he would be redoing his kitchen that my granddaughter could help with her own tools. They came with a tool belt which she didn’t want to wear. So I figured that I would add it to items I would look […]
My kitchen has white cabinets with bright brass hardware. When we first moved in I thought I had to update the hardware and get all new. Well 12/13 years later, I still haven’t done that, (I guess it didn’t bother me all that much). Fast forward to 2022. Gold is all the rage in hardware […]
