County Courthouse
Ink and Watercolor pens
A petit jury is not what it sounds like; it is not a jury that resolves petty disagreements, and there are no small furry animals involved. I would have preferred the small, furry animals.
The jury I sat with had to decide a case against a young man involved in a shooting […]

Mountain Laurel thrives on steep hills.
Yep. That’s what I’ve been… swamped! We also took a break and went to the swamp down near the in-laws. The pretty pink flowers are Mountain Laurel. They have a fairly long blooming period, and we’re going to try to get back down there next weekend - early - so […]

New Coffee Maker
Inks, 10 x 7
The sanding and painting for the closet area is now complete. I don’t know if I’m getting the framing put in this weekend, of if the rest of the floor is coming out. I guess I’ll find out when I see which tools my husband is collecting for the job. […]

WDE Barn
Ink, 7 x 10
There’s been some progress made in the basement, but not nearly what I’d hoped for. I had no idea that putting in some storage cabinets was going to be this complicated.
So far, we’ve removed the moldy panel, as well as the wallboard behind it. I’ve also been informed that removing the […]

The number one goal this year is to eliminate the clutter and turn […]

As 2007 comes to an end, other blogging artists are reflecting their recent achievements, and sharing their goals for the coming year. My accomplishments for 2007 are neither exciting nor award winning, but they couldn’t have been done without me!
In 2007, I did six pastels that I feel are worthy of a frame, even if […]

Oh Fudge! Chocolate Nut Fudge
Tis the season to be wrapping, shopping, and baking for holiday gatherings. But what holiday season is complete without homemade fudge? Certainly not mine, so yesterday I made my very first batch of homemade fudge. In the right hands, I’m sure it really is Foolproof Chocolate Fudge, but I am no […]

My cousin is working on her doctorate, and is in need of participants in a research study about the environment. The questionnaire is on-line, and does involve some serious thought.
Several questions allow participants to communicate their thoughts in paragraph form. It’s not a typical questionnaire, but I enjoyed having the ability to express my personal […]

I never met a pie I didn’t like.
As the holidays approach, shoppers are swarming to the grocery store in search of those special, holiday fixin’s. After all, what Thanksgiving dinner would be complete without pumpkin pie for dessert?
But what happens if your local supermarket runs out of your favorite pumpkin pie filling? Will you have […]

It’s getting to be that time of year again. Halloween. When ghosts and goblins come out to play, causing all kinds of devious mischief. Well, the spooks are out early this year.
Our phone hasn’t worked since last week. It rings, but goes dead upon lifting the receiver. There is NO dial tone. This might not […]
