It's been a long time... and it's just going to get longer

I'm very sorry to anyone who has been avidly reading my posts.  I haven't been posting because I have been on holiday and my husband's birthday is just before New Years and now we're in the middle of Escrow to buy our first house!  Exciting times!  Which leaves me only time to sign another piece of paper shoved at me and absolutely no time for craft!  But, don't worry I am sure I will be back.  I will have a whole first house to decorate, furnish, and throw parties in.  So, prepare your future reading for some how-to's, some art, and crafting!  It won't be long because the house is suppose to close on February 3rd, 2014.  Exciting are the times to come.

 

Hope to see you soon.

I will try to not be too much of a stranger.

I'm still pinning on Pinterest (always time for that) so, follow me there.

Winter Animal Painting set

 My Mother and I are currently working on a winter animal painting set.  I had originally done the Snowy Owl back in 2005 and hadn't done another since.  I had always planned to do a Snow Seal but after I sketched out the face I left it on the easel for 4 years or so and then hid it away in a box the rest of the time.  So, here it is, 2013 November and my Mother decides she is going to paint it instead of waiting for me too.  I give her a happy go ahead.  She did amazingly! 

Below is my original Owl painting.

Thanks for visiting.  Hope to see you again on Sunday.
