Ready, set , go....

At least I think I'm ready. Leaving at the buttcrack of dawn Thursday morning for Wichita so tonight I am packing my stuff. Got the painting supplies - check. Got the long undies - check (it's cold there compared to here!!). Got clothes, toiletries - check. I have gone over the to-do list a hundred million times; I don't think I am leaving anything undone. I am so ready to relax and enjoy this wonderful painting seminar!!! Now that it is here I almost can't wait until it's over and I can post the finished product. And I am sure the 4 days are going to absolutely fly by. I have been looking forward to this for quite some time and realized the other day that I have not planned a single thing for "after". So I come home to a clean slate and can start making plans again.

Ciao for now.....

B is for the beautiful, delicious bread my husband makes every week. I tried, for a while, to cut back on my carbs - but you can see how hard that is around our house. Right now the house smells so wonderful; I need to go make a cup of tea to go with my fresh baked bread.......

Acrylic - this is the medium of my other "non-fiber" art. I began decorative painting 10 years ago after having a mastectomy and have been at it ever since. I will be traveling to Wichita, Kansas next week to attend a 3-day paint seminar witha wonderful artist, Maureen McNaughton www.maureenmcnaughton.com.

Upload/Downlod

The worst thing about learning something new is that it seems that everyone else already knows everything you don't. All I want are some little old buttoms to put on this site. You know the ones - the little boxes that say "Ravelry" and "ABC-Along" etc. All the helps say "upload to..." then "download to..." If only I could figure out how to upload... I suppose it doesn't help that I am trying to figure this out at the very end of my very busy days but I sure feel pretty dense right about now. Heavy sigh!

New Year; New Challenges

My usual MO is to not make New Year's resolutions. But THIS year I have made some! The first of which was to make a blog and then actually post on it. After lurking about various knitting/spinning blogs and websites for well over a year I decided that it was finally time to take a leap and learn something new. First step - make a blog. Step two - learn how to work it!! Technology is pretty much a whole new world for me so this should be interesting (read intimiadating). So I've gotten this far - next on to learning how to post photos.......
