Recent projects and inspiration at my desk

The latest Dala Horse sits perched on a shelf waiting for a warm and clear day when it can have a few coats of a spray clear coat applied. Having it here will remind me to get it done as soon as the weather permits.

I'm also continuing to crochet hats for a number of charities with the yarn a friend brought to me.

The garden paintings and the butterflies are to keep me from sulking until I can get out in the garden again.

In the meantime I'm going to get back to cleaning and re-arranging the dinning room to see If I can make enough room to grow a few things in the house over the fall and winter.

Feeling good about the week

I finished making 3 hats and donating them to a program for the homeless.

I finished the painting I'm doing for my sister's Christmas present.

I finished more drawings to base designs on.

I designed 100's of new products to go into my stores at Zazzle and Cafe press

I made a lot of amazing mail for the special people in my life that keep me going through all my troubles.

I'm sure there are things I've forgotten to mention but these are the things I'm proudest of and I'm looking forward to an assortment of projects next week.

Project updates

It was nice to get the lily painting finished and hung. After that I relaxed a while and crocheted this hat which will be donated to a charity this week. The crochet group that I belong to sends things to different charities several times a year so I'm starting another hat that I hope to finish in time to go in this batch.

Once I get that started I'll get back to work on the pencil drawing that I started yesterday.

I'm SOOOO happy to have new pencils again!!!

Of course the projects that I work on this afternoon will depend on the mail. I always stop whatever I'm doing for that and it will often dictate the sort of projects I'll do for the rest of the day.

Enjoying the first tulip

I'm not ready to start any drawings or paintings yet so I thought I'd just relax and enjoy writing about it for my friends that aren't able to grow flowers of their own. My little desk is filling up fast as I write letters and crochet a few hats to help keep the homeless warm this winter which, sad to say will be back in just a few months.

It's beginning to open wider and show more of the pink petals. It's actually opened wider since I started writing this so I'll shoot and add one more picture to this post.
