Februrary 23rd 09

Well, starting to get back into the routine of things with my painting classes {still havent been to parchment card class yet} The community centre I teach at has lost a few students, and the Ladies still there are hoping we will have a few more turn up so classes can keep going. Even all my Ladies havent come back to their weekly classes this term..............Its a shame how Folk and decorative art loses its appeal every now and then, hopefully it will pick up soon.
I've maanage to do a bit more painting, have finished another canvas and have painted some recycled shopping bags for exchange gifts for a email list I'm on. Also for another List a challenge painting from a picture .....Netties Orchids

A New Year

Well last year is over, and we are already into the 2nd month of the New Year.
Have managed to do a little painting, I finished of 2 bear canvas', and a Memory box, today finished of my Blossoms and lantern canvas.
I havent gone back to my Parchment card class yet, although its been on for the last 2 weeks,.......... I actually forgot the first week lol, and last week, my DH had a bad kidney stone attack, so thought I might have had to take him to hospital, but all is good {I hope } it seems he might have passed it.
Had a lovely visit 2 weekends ago from my Niece {sister's daughter} her partner and 9 month old son, from Queensland.... he is such a lovely placid, content baby, crawling around everywhere now............. My daughter was babysitting for her friend, who has a 9 month old girl Ella{a week older than Grayson}... she isnt crawling yet but had 7 teeth {8 now} Grayson got his first tooth that friday....... all was well between them till she pulled his hair and wouldnt let go, he wasnt quite so placid then lol.
