I have been quite successful so far in making my digital pictures into large paintings. I have done the bunny, lion, and ostrich with plans to do many more. I like the look of them all. They are all quite large acrylic paintings. Work on the octopus is slow, I think mainly because I do not want to go work in the garage in the rain a

 
 
I entered out house in a Martha Stewart Halloween Contest and we got runner up with a  $100 gift card.

OVEN HAND 09/24/2009
 
I believe you can start calling me crazy oven hand lady. I burnt my fingers grabbing a pan on Saturday and then I was cleaning the stove top and cut my hand on the back. I'm just having a great week.
 
Class #3 09/24/2009
 
Class was wonderful. More children this time. we worked with wax (encaustic) art. There probably needs to be a little more explanation on my part.
Other wise pretty good class.
 
Class #2 09/17/2009
 
Had a wonderful class with the kids yesterday. We made "Self Portraits". I think that some of them may have rebelled against that idea. All in all it went well. We had a few paint mishaps  (paint in mouth and on the wall) that can happen though, no worries. I am really enjoying working with them. It gives me a break from the mundane day job.

BTW. The Bacon Chocolate was surprisingly wonderful!
 
Can't take it! 09/15/2009
 
OMG! Can't take sitting at a computer and just staring into nothingness ANYMORE! I'm going freaking crazy. Seriously about to scream!

We couldn't really do much this weekend. I would have liked to have done more with the leak in the kitchen issues. We both got a little frustrated. This week is going to be long. First week of working 3 jobs for the next 4 weeks. Should be tons of fun.
 
 
So I had my first day of class yesterday. I think for being a first time art teacher it went okay. Not too shabby! When I got home Mercury gave me a gift, a bar of chocolate covered bacon. I'm excited to try it out. Should be interesting. He really knows me! :)
 
 
The most wonderful day indeed. We have a huge leak in the kitchen that seems to have been their a while. The sheet rock is molded through. YEAH!! So happy.
Today is my first day of teaching, I guess we will see what happens. Kind of  freaked out about it.
I accumulated a few items for my collection pieces this past weekend. I love Uncommon Objects. Now if only I could get them to donate the things i need. I bought a drink tray.  My collection piece.
There something new you learned about me today.
I kind of wish people would buy some of my art or something, commission me for a piece. It is okay for me to write this here cause I know no one reads it. No worries! It's like a diary for me. I guess. :)
 
Biking Weekend 09/08/2009
 
We went biking this weekend to the Mansion and back. That was intense for me. I've never gone city biking like that. It was great! Loved it! Got a little tired grumpy, but I feel some of my grumpy was justified. I haven't eaten today, mainly due to lack of funds and I have to pay taxes this month. I HATE TAXES! I hate that I pay quarterly too! I can't really do it.  Broke. Anywho... I'm hungry, so I am going to talk about food.  I believe that right now Deviled eggs would hit the spot. MMM!!
