Lately, I’ve been making scented reusable heating pads and hand warmers. I plan to sell them. I am afraid that no one will buy them.
It’s not like I am asking for $100 for them. I am asking $5 for the hand warmers. For the heating pads,I am asking for large $10 and X-large $15. Does that sound reasonable?
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 wanted to make a gift for my youngest daughter. Mind you,that I haven’t really sewn in a year.IÂ have been collecting Harry Potter fabric.
I decided to make her a quilt. She is also a Harry Potter fan.Since,she loves Slytherin,I figured why not.I figured that,if I got it done early it would be her Christmas gift.
I was kind of funny,because she saw me sewing this quilt the whole time. She has no idea it is for her.I took me about a week to complete it. The back of the quilt is fleece.I decided no to add batting.
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.
I am finally finished my painting…I am pretty happy with the results..
I am glad that I waited for daylight to finish it.I also noticed that my stress level is going down.
This from last night before I lost daylight.I thought the painting needed something
As you can see it looked so plain without any scenery.
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.
Last night ,I started painting the one mountain scape.I never took art lessons in my life.
I decided to add more it ,because it looked to plain…
Still not finished yet.I am waiting for day light to work more on it
Today started as a semi normal day at work…it was very busy
After work,I did some shopping and got more canvas and paints.I decided to watch some Bob Ross..
Then it hit me…my inspiration…I decided on a different type of painting.I am not a landscape type of person,but I am trying…
It isn’t done yet…I have to get more colors and different brushes.Not bad for a first try.
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.
