"A few of my favorite things!"

Okay, so I see all these people doing these stitching samplers on fabric. Why can't we do the same thing with our artwork? I am already thinking this might be great framed in a funky gold frame, hanging on my bedroom wall?????

"Somethings Fishy"

Here is my latest painting. A picture of before and after!

Hooked on hats!

For some reason, I have been hooked on painting women with hats on. This was one I did in the fall. It sold, and I was kinda sad to see her go. I don't usually get to attached to my artwork, but every once in awhile I will miss one after it is gone. I am sure she has a good home though!

My Wedding...

This summer has been very busy planning our wedding. It started out as a small gathering, and grew into a big wedding! We had it at a beautiful golf course close to our home. Living in the country does have some benefits, my in-laws were able to raise a pig for our dinner. Now that is country living! We had perfect weather and everything went off without a hitch. Now it's time to get back to the wonderful world of art!

My first motorcylce trip...

So, I have a fiance who LOVES to ride motorcycles! We took our first trip this past week. Started over on the west side of Michigan and rode all along Lake Michigan. Up to Mackinaw City. My favorite place was a lodge called THE LEGS INN. It was just north of THE TUNNEL OF TREES. This is some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. And to think it is right here in my home state! I think I am hooked on riding now.

My girls!

My youngest daughter turned 17! We went to lunch at our favorite little restaurant in Fenton, THE FRENCH LAUNDRY. After lunch we spent the whole afternoon shopping, shopping, shopping. Her favorite thing to do!!!!

My weird little dog again.

My weird little dog keeps me very amused. I just had to take a picture of how she sits. Her legs are backwards. This is how she always sits too. Very strange little dog.
