Oh man I caught a bit of Ted Nugent’s rants today and can’t help but think I would like to sit down and have a cup o coffee with him sometime and just shoot the breeze…..lol…..it would be quite colorful!!!

He has a great website that I am sure my brother frequents often with his hunter buddies!!!

All of my house and out of town guests are gone and for a few days while my DH was out of town on Business it was just me and the girls..So my friend Mich came over and we went to scout out Herndons down town district for this weekends paint out competition!!! We have a lovely little lunch and took a few more photos before heading home. Later that evening she came back by to pick me up for a watercolor class she was teaching and talked me into taking part in. So here are the results….

Let me know what you all think? This was done with both a wet on wet techniuque as well as a dry on wet….very interesting!!!!

Here is one of the latest things I did for my best friend….

It is a Baby Carrier…and yes it is made from scratch!!! She picked out the fabric and thread colors and I added some Minky as well….the Dogs found it to be quite comfy as well!!!! LOL

Still Recovering

By mazzyblue | Published May 14, 2008

Still Recovering from this past week and weekend!!! Had fun…as seen in the “BEFORE” pic…..

then here is my most current state….the “AFTER”…..LOL!!!!

Oh yes it was fun….but took a bit of a toll….it all started with a paint out date on Thursday with my good friend Rob…..

Then lunch with his wife Gina where I got asked to help out at a flower shop for the weekend due to a malfunctioning refrigerator truck…long story…. but needless to say I said yes….

Then it was off to the Wedding Dress Bead A Thon…Thrusday night/Friday morning…yup an all nighter…..but I wanted it to be perfect…so I did what needed to be done….pictures to come soon….10 AM my client came by to wisk me and the dress off for a fitting ….again pictures to follow…..then she took me to a long luch where we awaited my hubby to join for coffee and sopapillias….yummmm…..

I then went home to crash and get the sleep I so desperatly needed before embarking on the night shift at the flower shop….somewhere in the midst of my delirious dreaming I somehow got the catchy tune “Working at the Carwash” stuck in my head but instead of car wash the words flower shop were substituted….yes….welcome to my world……

Anywhoo….I got up in time to pack up a bag as my ride came and off I went…..

I helped out till the wee hours of Sunday….and then I think the weight of the actual day being that of “Mothers Day” a bittersweet day for us, the rain and an oncoming migraine from what my doc says to be a cocktail of exhaustion and circumstance…..so alas that was the parting of me and the flower shop for now….

They are going to give me an arangment of my favorite flowers next time Gina or I get down that way…..SUNFLOWERS!!!!!! As many of you allready know they are my favorites!!! And I am planning on panting the heck out of them….love them as subjects for still lifes…..

Cheers!!!
