But before I posted it yesterday I took another photograph as I wanted to show you the back of the bracelet. I love making the backs almost as much as the front. And I started another painting. I’ve begun to realize that I’m a starter painter and not a finisher. I must have about fifty of […]
Month: November 2015
Thanksgiving.
I started another painting yesterday. It’s very orange… and pink. I think I shall call it – Blinded by the Light of the Glorious Hills. I’m determined to persevere with the darn paintings. Every so often I think I’ll have a go and then spend the day wallowing in and out of disappointment and moaning […]
Now let’s get on with it…
I’m back. I had a good time but am pleased for my own bed as I thought I would have to have both my legs amputated from the buttocks down as I was in so much discomfort from the mattress. I think it was an IKEA mattress. ‘Nuff said. Not that I’ve got anything against the Swedish […]
And we’re off.
We’re away for a week in Rockport TX. Not necessarily my favourite place in the world, but as P likes to fish it’s the best we can do without driving more than four hours, or taking a flight. But it’s beautiful today. Yesterday we had, what was supposed to be a big storm, blow in through Houston, […]
New pieces.
And the old one taken in better light. Well o.k. perhaps not so better. I have a lot of trouble taking photographs. Alongside putting on chains it’s probably my least favourite thing to do, especially as I like to take them on this one particular tile outside my back door and so it means getting […]
The rise and fall, and rise again, of the Willow Creek Jasper…
I’d like to tell you that everything I make starts good, ends good, and everything in the middle is perfect. But… – So I cut this nice little Willow Creek Jasper cabochon from a big chunk I bought from The Gem Shop. And thought I’d show you something I made with it. I decided to go […]
So now I’m getting really ticked…
K. So I’ve changed the theme again because I CANNOT work out the comment thing. (Yes you can read that as a yell) Now I can’t get THIS darn theme to show the whole post instead of just an excerpt. I’ve clicked all of the necessary boxes. I’ve searched the help forums. I’ve gone into […]
It’s done.
But I’ve kind of lost my umph again. It took me two days to make this because I just got bored with the whole thing. I must have five different pieces lying around on my table just waiting to be loved, and not one of them thrills me. I even got some of the old paintings […]
More excitement than one could possibly ask for, or Why you should drive something with a little more height perhaps…
Yep. N’s car got drownded (as the kids used to say). In lots of water. And they had to wade home in it up to their knees at 4 a.m. for an hour and half while we slept oblivious to the phone calls and texts. Good parents we are. The Mini Cooper is a ferocious beast with […]
I’m kind of lost for what to do.
It’s another grey Sunday and I’m sitting here in bed bored and trying to think of what to do next. I’ve also got a headache. Which doesn’t help. – Here are my options. I’ve got a good book going. I’ve only finished the first part so no one ruin it for me else I’ll have to […]
