Well, she is finished. I don't know what's up with the triangles adorning her head, but I like them. I was in a triangular mood I guess. I used my usual favorite things: acrylics, watercolors, pencil, & paper(for the collage elements). I have a title I have been toying with in my head, it has to do with looking at things differently, seeing things with new eyes. I might stick with the title I have in my head, or who knows I just may call her...Girl With Triangles :)

Partially Finished
This is a piece I have been working on, here & there. I haven't quite decided what else I am going to put on the canvas, to finish her. Here it is so far:
We said goodbye to my little bird friend, Hobble, today. I was really hoping he'd pull through. Sad when I think he will never get to feel the breeze through his wings again, & the warm sunshine :(

Hobble
In between painting Cody's room a color called "Barely Jade", & doing a few other smaller projects, we headed to the park for a picnic. I wasn't very excited about it, cause it was grey & cold. That doesn't deter the kids though, so off we went(me with my bad attitude). When we got there, we headed over the sidewalk & onto the grass to find a place for our blanket. As we were walking, India told me a bird was staring at her. I laughed a little & kept walking ...because if you know my daughter, you know she has a little bird phobia. So off we headed & had our freezing cold picnic, kids ran up & down the grassy hills & played. Later, warming up, back in our car, the kids were still playing on the grass in front of me & India said to me that the bird was still there. Then she pointed to this little thing, I never would've seen on my own, on the edge of sidewalk & almost in the grass. I went over there, & the little feathered guy let me scoop it right up. Hmmmm, so I knew it is not doing too well, if it let me pick it right up. I was telling the little bird(telepathically, as if I speak bird)... you are lucky little guy, the right person found you...out of all the people going to the park today & you got me, crazy animal lady. So we put him in a little hat, & off we went to find bird formula & medicine to take care of him.
He is not opening his eyes that much, & when he tries to stand he seems to fall over. I can't tell if there is something wrong with one of his feet, it looks kind of like it, so I named him Hobble. I don't know if he is long for this world, but I am doing my best to make him comfortable, & I am hoping I can nurse him back to health.

Post Sugar High
Hello. I think my kid's may be having withdrawals from all the junk they consumed yesterday. Valentine's parties at school, treats they brought home....& then we let them have chocolate fondue, of course. Me, I am not to into Valentine's Day, as far as expecting a big fancy dinner, or something like Richard showing up on a big white horse & pulling me onto it...& then we both gallop away, towards the sunset. That would be funny. I do like the fun decorations, & doing little things to show my family I love them.
The day before Valentine's, we had the first Brownie meeting in our house. It all went off without a hitch, much to the relief of nervous Nelly here :)
Well that is it for now. I hope to have some new art in the works soon. Just waiting on the creative juices to kick in.

Missing A Place To Create
I am living in a temporary state of messy, chaos, & it's getting to me a little(silent scream). We have had our new floors put in downstairs, so furniture all moved from there. The art studio/office is gone, & being changed into the girl's room. My desk, supplies, random junk, computer, cables, etc. are all in a messy heap in our bedroom. Carpeting guys are coming in 2 days, to put in new carpeting on the stairs, & our son's room upstairs....so everything has to be out of that room. But I don't mean to complain, the new wood floors look great, & I am grateful to be able to get all this done. I know pretty soon, all the mess will be a distant memory(I hope), & we'll be settled back into this place. But I am missing being able to do my art, things are so all over right now, I don't even feel like attempting to carve out a little place to work. It's kind of a pain in the big Lebowski, not being able to locate anything. The other day I went in the garage to look for my little notebook that I write ideas, sites I like, etc. in, & ended up giving up & high tailing it out of there, after I caused a major avalanche of papers, cds & who knows what else. Anyway, the closest I've come to making anything lately is cutting out paper Valentine's hearts to liven up our walls.
Yay! New floors

Yup, 38 today
It's the tail end of my birthday...pretty good as far as birthdays go. I was watching something the other day, on the boob tube, the lady(she happened to be Jane Fonda) was saying how she views her life in 3 acts. The first 30 years are act one. From 30 to 60...act two. 60 & so on, is act three. She was saying right before she was going to turn 60, & enter into her final act, she took a long time evaluating her life, her decisions, how she got to where she was, & understanding who she really was. Anyway, without getting too serious or hokey...I do think that is something I would like to do more of, & better to do it sooner rather than later. Nothing bothers me more than the thought of getting towards the end of my life & not having done what I was put on this earth to do, or the idea of having a lot of regrets....don't want that! Anyway... 38, go me!
A note from my oldest daughter. I am going to take it as the slightly eccentric, fun kind of crazy she means...not in need of a good dose of meds, kind of crazy :)
