Thought I would show you the studio when it is

not messy. I keep a portion of it as a gallery.

 My Adam and Eve clay statues  were unique,

also the frame on the painting below was special

so I kept that one for my enjoyment.

Today I did not do anything in the studio.

It was a warm sunny day and I just enjoyed

the day reading and getting a hair cut.

Went to the St, Cecilia fish fry so no

cooking to mess my kitchen up. A nice day.

Messy job.

 Another day of cutting reflections.

I hope to finish soon.

I figured out a way to do the thin branches without

resorting to paint. I will be adding paint to the birds

though. They will be more realistic that way.

I like how the grasses turned out. Do You? 

 All that cutting leaves a mess. I usually vacuum

it up on Saturdays. That way I start the week with

a clean floor. I would be lost without my Havel scissor.

It really gives me a clean edge.

More reflections and snow.

 I am hoping to finish the reflections by Saturday,

I think I am going to combine paint with fabric

to achieve the thinner reflections.

 We are sure getting tired of all the snow but it

was extra beautiful yesterday.

So I got in the car to get some shots of the back

yard. Almost got stuck taking this one.

It was worth it.

Sumac trees behind the fence.

Well another full day in the studio.

Must get the paints out.

More reflections.

 I got a little further on the reflections. I have just

1 and 1/2 panels to finish the reflections. Than on

to the leaves on the trees. I have to make  my birds

and will be close to finish. Thank goodness.

We can finally see the ground here. There is hope

for spring but not until after another 6 inches of snow.

I have plenty to keep me busy inside for the next

2 days.  I am off to the studio early today.

I want to start a flower quilt for entry in the

International Quilt Show. Deadline is April 30.

Always something to do.

The Big one.

 As you see I am making progress on the

big quilt. This week that is all I will work

on. I need to write an article about making

a difficult quilt for a magazine that is due

by May. So I would like to be almost finished

by then. Meanwhile my Central Park will be

in their next issue. Will let you know when

that is. And yes I will have a proof reader

to correct my bad grammar. My Aspergers

shows up big time when I write. Though I

appreciate some of the quirkiness of it I

really suck at grammar. I am thankful I

am a very high functioning Aspergers. I did not

find out until I was 58 that what made me

so unique was this. After 28 years of a very

successful real estate career actually owning

a office for 12 of those years. So if you have

this blessing in your family take hope anything

is possible there are good points to this trait.

I think not knowing made the difference.

I did not have any limitations set on me

so I just matured in my own way.

I made a quick baby quilt yesterday

usually my day off but the baby is

due this month so it needs to get shipped.

I finished my David Baldacci novel I

decided to read everything he has written.

Find his books  interesting.

I have talked my husband into eating lunch

in town a couple times a week so I don't

have to break to make lunch. Maybe I

can get more done in the studio.

Well I am off to the studio.
