SOLDladder bird nest    On April 18th I paid rent on a tiny little 10 ' by 10 ' room in the back left of the antique store.
It will be ..........(drum roll please)

"Art On The Left" ....an art gallery!

 SOLD  Lauras Tutu finished    tea cup1SOLD

I know ...a 10 foot square isn't big enough for an art gallery but I have to start somewhere.   There are only 4 paintings in the art gallery today because I sold the rest of them at an art's and crafts show last weekend (the ones that I have scattered around on this post are in their new homes.) I'm also going to have other artist's work the  gallery too. new_orleans_lady small SOLD

Just like a real art gallery!

 

 SOLD boat 

The photos that are showing up in this post were sold at an art/crafts show.

Guilt

Hi. I am so busy I have no time to do a proper blog anymore.
Here is a chair I painted and sold. It doesn't seem right for me to sell things for money that have scriptures from the bible on it....so I donated the money. I am a woman....it's my job to feel guilty about everything.

Isn't April wonderful!

I have to say I think I like April best of all the months. The only thing is that my gray car is now yellow with pollen. When I leave my driveway I leave a puff of yellow behind. I think everything bloomed at the same time this year and it was beautiful but...I was down with a sinus-y, hay fever thing for about a week. Still coughing. Several in my family have had the nose and cough that goes along with spring.

I haven't worked in the garden any. Husb has done all the planting that has been done. He likes to do it. We have, what my Mom calls, Egyptian walking onions growing there all year. The pods come up on the ends and when they call off another onion comes up. Soon there are lots of onions coming up. My Mom planted them here because she loves green onions so much that she doesn't wait for the pod to form and make new plants when she has them out her own back door...she eats them all.

I have been really busy painting and planning and getting ready for an art event. I'm in charge of getting arts and crafts people to come and display for the day. It is for donations to help a family that has a lot of hospital bills. The girl has had several liver transplants and we think she is facing another. Her mother was my classmate in school.

Then....Next Sunday is Easter! I bought the Easter ham today.
Then...My Kentucky cousins are coming in to see us and I'll cook a big dinner for them.

It's a busy/joyous time.

I painted and decoupaged this chair for my booth in the antique store and sold it. Marilyn Chair

Spoke too soon. Feb 19

FEB 19- It was so nice and sunny. Nearly 70 degrees. Crocus blooming. I had bought seeds for my garden.
seeds for 2012
All was good woodpecker and then

It started snowing these great big feather flakes from the sky. Then I knew, I wasn't spring. But I still have hope.
2-19 dove rack
Husband says this is his dove rack where he keeps all his doves. He just wants me to think that.

Here it is March and we had 70 F degrees and tornadoes near us before a cold front came in. This morning (3/5)there was about 1/2 inch of snow.

We had our usual Sunday dinner yesterday. ...with some scary excitement. There was a choking victim and we had to dial 911 emergency. His airway was cleared before the ambulance arrived and all was well. We were all shook up.

I was pleased to find these little crocus in my yard.
