More Distraction - August

What can I say I really enjoyed the summer.

The cats kept me entertained

 And more pictures from the garden

I did an art card every day in a new technique for me

An late afternoon at St Martins

with new water shoes which were great for walking in the water and mud

Finished and mounted a needle felted project that I started last year for my Mom

there is a fair amount of stitiching on it

Looked for anything differnt in both front and back yard

Summer Distractions in July

I took the summer off and allowed myself to enjoy some distractions.

Flowers

Really distracted

A fastanator that I yet to wear

An Invitation

 Count down to the Exhibit & Grad - Just finished printing 6 copies of the Thesis. I feel so guilty that I think I'll save all those little maples growing in the flower beds and replant them on the hill.

New addition

There is always something in the Studio to distract me and with only a few weeks to the Graduate Exhibit I really should try and stay focus but we have just added an addition to the family today and she is just to cute to ignore. We think she is a she and have not named her yet except for Biscuit (she was born in a horse barn).

Love New York

Okay 3 days on ground really doesn't give much time to take it in everything about New York but first impressions was it's the best!!! Plans are in the works to going back.
I really shouldn't have taken the time out from homework but sometimes it is the best thing to do is to recharge those creative batteries with a whole different outlook.

Sites on the street

Brooklyn Subway

 Brooklyn Museum

 Chinese Food Store

 Public Art from Ai Weiwei



There was so much to see so will try and update more at a later date

Clean Up

Some days I just need to move things around and do a bit of clean up to get motivated to get on with the work at hand. My little office is only 8' x 8' but b y moving things around it seems so much bigger and now I have a view of the back garden.

April has Come and Gone

April has come and gone. It was a busy month with mainly home work for classes ( see http://www.somethingfiber.blogspot.com/) but I did managed to snap a few inspiring pictures.
April 21 we had a bit of frezzing rain . The Huge pines beside the Studio were very pretty but I'm glad the sun came out not long after as there could been some major damage to both stuido and trees.

Took a day off from home work and Wayne and I went for a bit of site seeing down the river road . We crossed over at Evandale , down to Saint John going the long way by criss cross the river using bridges and ferries.

A stroll threw a friends garden - I don't know the name of the flowers but I was told they are nature to the area so will have to get some.  

The rubbarb was looking good in her garden

A drive along the Kennebecasiss  River taking another site seeing route to Sussex .

Always something to look at.
