Hello all! Hope you are all having a lovely week! It's been beautiful here, sunny, warm but not hot, lovely days!

Here is my desk today. I really haven't been doing much at all, but thought I might try another flower painting:

And now that my garage is nice an clean, I found some outdoor fabric I bought many years ago for a project I never did, so I decided to make porch curtains. I love them!

                                                                                inside 

           

                                                                from the outside

And my roses!

That's it for today! Short and sweet. I hope everyone is having a great summer (or winter) so far! The cats are in and out all day, coming back in to check on us, then out they go again! So they say "meow!" and I say have a great week!

Hi! Happy Summer! Let the heat begin! I am looking forward to a nice hot lazy summer, now that my garage is finished - finally!

                               Ready for the car in the winter!

          This is the "working side" of the garage. I feel so much better now that it's all done.

What happened to those big green bags of junk I took out of the garage? you may ask - here's the answer! It was so gratifying to watch!

 

                                          All GONE!!!

Anyway, now for my desk this week:

I made a Father's Day card for hubby:

This is actually a stamp that he chose the last time we were in the stamp store together. "Manly" cards are not his thing, nature is! I put Pearl-x on the wings to make them shimmer, but it's hard to see in the photo.

I have been able to work on my garden a bit. This is my "Perennial Garden" but only a couple of plants seem to survive each year so this year I thought I would put annuals in pots and see how that worked out. Kind of a "wild " garden look which I like!

And beside it is a pot of Gladioli that I planted, and my tomatoes. First time I've planted Glads!

I also have all my herbs in pots scattered around.

My roses are starting to bloom too!

All is good! I hope all of you are doing well too, enjoying the good weather and wonderful gardens! Have a great week, Inky and Mittsy say "meow!"

What a lovely day we are having today! Nice and sunny, not too cool or too warm, perfect! Lots of action on the street right now, one neighbor is getting trees cut down, another one getting their windows washed, and we are waiting for the big truck to take away all the junk from the garage!

And there's still more to take to the dump! Hopefully this will all be over by next week (crossing fingers). 

Well there's some good news, I was at my desk this week! The sad news is I was making Sympathy cards for two of my nieces who just lost their mother, less than a year after their father passed. 

(yes, I know the sentiment is crooked, I haven't stuck it down yet!)

Anyway, with the garage pretty much done, there's now gardening to get to, but I think I will have more time for art now, until my next clean-up project!

Here are the two beauties both in one picture - a rare sight!

They both say "meow!" and I hope all of you have a lovely week full of joy, creativity and happiness!

Well here we are again, another week passed! Here in Ontario we are having much cooler weather than we did in May, and LOTS of rain. It makes for comfortable hours at my new "desk", my garage. I think I'm close to the end of my purge and organizing, my May-June long project. I'm learning new things, like how to use my new power drill that I got for Christmas! So far I have attached the new shelves to the wall, and installed a garden hose reel that I've been at my hubby for years to install. He did coach me, but I did it!   No more waiting for years for things to happen! That is the extent of my creativity this week!

This last photo is of a toybox that I painted for my DD when she was born, I think it looks pretty good for 36 years old! Now it has a new purpose! I have this incredible urge to paint the slats on the tool holder...you never know! 

That's it for me, hopefully I will get back to my real desk soon. Have a great week, hope you all have recovered from the Jubilee Weekend (those who participated!). Inky and Mittsy say "meow" and will be enjoying a rare sunny day today!

Hello everyone! Happy June! I have been very busy creating - just not in my art room! My desk is exactly the same as it was last week. I am creating a new and improved garage space. Our garage was one big room to throw things into. I have spent all of May changing that and I am almost done. We have a double garage and in the whole garage there was only one little pathway to the garbage and recycling so that we good get that out every week, and that's it. I did forget to take photos before I started, but I have taken a few along the way. 

So this is my "desk" this week:

this is the left side, where I'm hoping to be able to put the car at some point.
and next is the right side, from the back of the garage - I set up a "gardening" station with cans of birdseed. I just have to attach the hose reel and this little corner will be done.

Still a lot to do, it's been a lot of work, but worth it!

My DD turned 36 last week so we sent her these flowers since we couldn't go and see her - my hubby is still laid up and can't travel, but he's getting better each day!

Well that's it for me, I will now go and look to see what you truly creative people have been up to!

Have a great week, Mittsy and Inky say "Meow"!
