Better then Roses

The love of my life has often bought me unique gifts . I don't care for cut rose ( love mixed arrangements) but I love itwhen the gift is something I can use and /or manipulate . So for Valentines I got 6 of these beautiful chairs the were once property of the Saint Joesph Hospital and convent. Haven't decided what to do with them yet but a few years ago I paint a small chair for a fundraiser that was so much fun that I may try something new to decorate the new studio.

Early Spring

I don't recall ever seeing a Robin  this early in the year but for the last few days (February 09 2012) there have been a few in our back garden Wayne counted a dozen yesterday morning. I did leave blueberries out for them but so far this morning ( as wait for a winter storm to come in) I haven't seen any. Hopefully they have found their way and head to a more comfortable area , at least to Saint Martins along the Fundy coast.
So what does this have to do with Studio life?? One never knows where inspiration will be found.

Its A Snow Day !!!!

The snow has been falling since sometime early morning so we have decided to not go and work at the farm and I have decide to do some work on the sewing machine.  Also to catch up on some admin work of a number of things, the first being the Notice of the exhibit in England. Received word that all of our work arrived safely.
