ENJOYING THE "GOOD LIFE"!

Such a pretty bottle tree at our friend Barb Smith's "Vienna Woods Bed & Breakfast!"

Out newest beautiful business in Harrisonville Mo.: The Brick House Coffee Bar and Eatery. We love it!

I had this painting of mine that had gone through the Kurzweild fire and survived. I was going to put it in the Library Atrium display but just felt like I'd like to give it to the new business as a welcome gift. Imagine my surprise when the owners wife came running out of the kitchen with a big hug and saying I can't believe you did this! You are my favorite artist, I look at you work all the time, I even called you once to try and buy a painting that you didn't want to sell, and I couldn't talk you into selling it! I just said I guess it was meant to be!

Good Ole Joe in his new forever home!

And she wants more art to sell on  this wall, so I've got to get busy!

I'm enjoying using twinkle lights in vases.

My Spring Seasonal Banner for the Refrig.

I got smart and made the banner reversible (Valentines is on the other side)

Decided I wanted a Spring (Yellow) lampshade, so made one I could just slip on and off!

Found a new pair of fun bling sandals at the thrift store. Brand New!

I'm lovin the Pioneer Woman products now!

Mixin up meatloaf with Pioneer Woman bowls!

Mary Lou's newest book.

And my newest evening obsession! Makin  Hoochy Two-chy blocks for a "Poochie's & Polka Dots" Story Quilt which will probably be one of my entries in the Fall Art Show

Sister Judy gave me this Folk Art Lady years ago.  I have enjoyed her on my screened in back porch. But now in her second life she has moved in to my art table as my Art Muse. Isn't she cute!

I do need to clean my table off!  Good thing I can work among the clutter!
