Sometimes,I get visions in my head. The first thing ,I do is paint. Like today for example, I had this vision of the woods.
I already had my oil paints out. I figured just to use them. It has a water color feeling to it. I have different colors to choose from. Sometimes, I use the basic colors that I have. I like to try to use different ideas to give myself a little challenge. This painting took me about a couple of minutes to do. Sometimes,it takes me day ,or a week. It depends on my mood.
Sorry,that I haven’t posted in long time.Life in general has taken over. A lot has happened since I last posted.I have been working a lot.My mom is in a relationship with man that loves her. My oldest daughter moved out . I have finally gotten my Chloe back. My brother and his girlfriend moved in.We are all supposed to be taking over the mortgage. That has been a bumpy road .
I have been making memory bears for my oldest daughter. Her Bio Dad committed suicide in November.I have been making bears for his side of the family. I was in car accident also in November. I wasn’t hurt,but my van was. I can still drive it,but can’t afford to get it fixed.
I have been painting a lot. I have sold a few.I have put my paintings on Esty. No bites or nibbles on that.Even on market place no buyers. I have been struggling for while.
I had two paintings that I started.At first,I wasn’t into them and I stopped.I was getting frustrated.
So, today on my day off.I went to my job and gotten some more brushes. Plus, white paint ,because I use the paint cover the canvas.Especially, when I am not into the painting.
This particular painting ,I really enjoyed working on. It is more of an Autumn type theme.
This a painting that I did tonight…while I decide what to add to the other painting.
This was just on the first try.Mind you,I never took an art lesson or any type of art school in my life.
I just feel blessed that I was given this gift to paint.
I created some new art work…Now,I am kind of bummed.I ran out of canvas to paint on.
It helps me relax when I am stressed out. There is no wrong or right way to paint.
I just go with the flow and be me.When I don’t feel like sewing this helps me to be creative.
It has been a very long time, since I posted anything.I have been working the whole time during this covid situation.
I have been dealing with depression.That is me still grieving since my Dad passed a year ago. I am stressing because trying to rent a house.Plus worrying about my Mom with her personal issues.
I decided to paint a picture for my oldest daughter for her birthday.
I noticed it helps me relax a little bit.So,today I decided to make this for my youngest daughter.
It has been a long time since I have posted anything…
In May, it will be a year when I lost my Dad.I go to work and come home .I totally lost my passion to sew.I feel so lost.I have so many ideas in my head,but my mind,body and my heart won’t connect.Is it normal to feel this way? I have so many projects and fabric around . I won’t budge to touch it.It is bad enough to work in a fabric and craft store and have more ideas pop in my head.
It was very hard going through my Dad’s clothes…I made this pillow different…I added his overalls and his shirt…I even gave it my Dad’s gut…I am going to spray his aftershave to it …
Here is the second bear that I made…
I felt more comfortable making the second bear…I like the plaid…This time I made sure the nose was at the right spot…Next is making overalls for the bear…The hard about making the overalls is that I am using my Dad’s jeans…
Sorry that I haven’t been around lately…
I lost my father in May from a massive heart attack ….then the following week my cat, Shadow was killed by a car…I haven’t had any interest of sewing or crocheting…Right now, we are in the process of renting a house…It is just going to be my husband, my youngest daughter, my brother and his girlfriend, and myself…My older two children live with my mom..since they are over the age of 20…If we get this house…I will finally have Chole back with me…
