Enjoying summer

It has been a fantastic summer!
 I do so hope it has been the same for you all, my sweet friends!!

Two weeks ago wee were at the lake (lake Seneca) in NY state
with my two daughters and their families plus my son in laws parents!
What an eclectic fun mix of people!!!

   One of my cuties!

This is a shot my grandson took while the camera was around
 my neck and I was holding his sweet face
He surprised me with this shot !


We rented a lovely home that was right on the lake!
We went fishing and swimming and kayaking during the day
and had campfires and roasted marshmallows at night!


Here is my youngest daughter  and her little guy

Here my other two grandsons are checking out the lilies

We went out to lunch on one of our last days at the lake
I had picked up some adorable finger puppets and here the children retrying them out
while we waited for the food.

Oh, did I fail to mention the fun we all had throwing and

skipping rocks on the water?

                                     The evening became quite bait cooler but, perfect to chill out by the fire.

Bye beautiful Seneca

Until next year!

July 9, A Beautiful Day!!

Hello once again my sweet friends!!
Hope that you are all enjoying this fantastic summer weather!
We certainly have had some hot , humid days but after the winter I had…
You will not hear me complain!!

Just returned from a wonderful vacation to Williamsburg.
It was relaxing, educational and fun!


This is me in front of the Rockefeller home

Now, I am inspired to try to work on my house and have it filled with the flavor of
Colonial Williamsburg!

It is a colonial style with a large entry way and center staircase.
We redid the entrance way last year. We added crown molding and repainted the walls
in two tones of colors….Williamsburg Blue and Cream.

My one splurge or gift I bought while in Williamsburg was a beautiful brass double arm sconce.
I can hardly wait to hang it and add my candles to it!

Hopefully I will get some more of my photos up in my next posting!
Until then stay cool and Hugs to you all!!!

Something for the garden.

Hello again my sweet friends!
One project I especially enjoyed doing with my 3 D Design class
was with the pieces of stained glass. " Light catchers."

Light Catchers

Now on to glass fusing!

Have a great day!

Beautiful May-Art Show

Welcome dear friends!

Yes it is now May!
I had a lovely Birthday celebration earlier this month!
One of my favorite gifts was the beautiful floral arrangement
from two of my little grandsons! It was full of color and included roses, lilies, snap dragons and many other flowers that I do
not know the names of…

May is one of my favorite months! It's when the weather truly
changes for the better.  Flower's just seem to pop out of every nook and cranny. 

 And it is time for the yearly Student ART SHOW at School!!

Some quiet moment before the show opened

On exhibit were various art projects from the 3D Design class, the Drawing & Painting class and both Graphic Design classes. We also had some photos from the Art/Photography Club.

Handmade water colored books

This is just a sample of some of the beautiful art work my students have

completed since about January this year!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See you soon!

Busy With Commission Pieces

Hi all once again!
Before I begin may I say how delightful the weather has been this past week!
Yes there have been clouds and rain but there also has been SUNSHINE and warmer
temperatures! Yippeee Spring has arrived!!

As you can see…
I have been working on several commission pieces

I do so enjoy working on these I just wish I had more free time to devote to finishing them!

I brought some tulips for a dear friends Birthday and even though they have long since died away I have been enjoying the lingering effects from Photoshop.

Thats all for now!
