Long Cold Winter!!

It's been awhile since my last post, I have been busy between vacations, holidays, Monday night class, Thursday night grandchildren and Friday through Sunday recovering from grandchildren and just plain trying to stay warm! It has been a tough winter with over 3 to 4 feet of snow and ice and battling the air temp between -8 to 20* since the beginning of January 2011!! I have to get on a roll again. Over the January break from classes I accepted consignment to shorten 15 mens long shirt sleeve cuffs along with 4 womens wool suit jackets.  Have to admit I was good! Approached them like piecework ripping pinning, color coding threads, gave a quick shot of steam to set the seam, folded and completed within a week (to my surprise) and an extra $202!! Sorry didn't have time to take pictures I always think I should have taken pictures after the fact, why is that????

Here's a 9x12 oil of the Kalalau Mtn Ridge in Kauai. .I think I need to tweak it a little bit more and blend the clouds in lightening up the blue.  What do you think?

  2. Thank you Lisa! I had planned on a March visit to the islands to see the whales, DH suggested LV with inlaws, didn't work out@#%@@! So not sure the whales will still be out there in March anyway, Maybe a June trip!! Aloha

  3. The whales are still here, we see them almost every time we go to the beach, don't think they will last till June though.

    Hope you get to make it out here soon!
