Well it sure has been a long time since I posted. So sorry but I have been<br />
<br />
in my studio painting up a storm, so when the soul says paint.....I paint!<br />
<br />
Love what you do !<br />
<br />
I love to paint...... I never thought of myself as being an artist,<br />
<br />
and how it would change my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been exploring and discovering that I love<br />
<br />
to paint with Acrylics. Using brushes, palette knives, and mediums<br />
<br />
Loving florals......<br />
<br />
Being creative and wanting to share with you ,<br />
<br />
<br />
I've always loved flowers and have taken many pictures of my gardens.<br />
<br />
This is where I found my inspirations.<br />

Hello friends!<br />
<br />
Many of you think I have gone Awol!<br />
<br />
But I'm just in my studio, painting!<br />
<br />
Since I've taken up this creative outlet I can't seem to put my brushes down.<br />
<br />
My choice of medium right now is Acrylic paints. Liquitex heavy body paints.<br />
<br />
I know my love for watercolour has not vanished, just for awhile .<br />
<br />
I decided to persevere and paint a rose........ WOW! a<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Rose</span></b> indeed<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Hello friends, it's been awhile!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have so many projects that you just don't know which one to work on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been looking at this pillow form for some time, I'd pick it up and wonder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what am I going to use to make a cover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it would go back into the cupboard for another day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This pillow was once covered in this cute drop cloth fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well over time it wore out and got tossed and the pillow ended up in the cupboard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
waiting for the right cover.</div>

This one is my latest in Acrylics.<br />
photo by PaintMyPhoto!<br />
<br />
<br />
I treated myself to new acrylic paints for Christmas.<br />
I like to try my hand at all mediums.<br />
<br />
I'm always wanting to create, Need to keep my hands and mind busy.<br />
<br />
Many ask why do I love to paint?<br />
<br />
I find it very relaxing and gratifying when I complete a painting.<br />
<br />
Where did I take art lessons?<br />
<br />
I didn't, and it probably shows, I know I have much to learn and<br />
always willing to try new techniques.<br />
<br />
<br />
I try to paint daily, having fun....No one makes mistakes, just learning curves.<br />
<br />

<br />
Everyone is running around shopping, and baking , then wrapping getting ready<br />
for that special day when Santa arrives.<br />
The little ones with lists a mile long and the excitement of the jolly old self<br />
in his red suit.<br />
<br />
I'm sitting here remembering how my little ones were always so excited, looking through<br />
the Sears toy catalogue circling everything in sight. I loved watching their faces light up<br />
every time that catalogue came you knew that Christmas was just around the corner.<br />
<br />
Out shopping early in September with other mothers making sure some of their wishes came true.<br />
<br />
Now my children are all grown with families of their own going through the same steps as I once did.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cards written and mailed<br />
Tree up and decorated ,<br />
Presents bought and wrapped<br />
Baking done.......<br />
<br />
Groceries still to get, turkey, homemade stuffing, cranberries to boil down,<br />
creamed cauliflower, turnip, carrots, parsnips, yams, mashed potatoes, and gravy......<br />
<br />
<br />
Desert.......Ice cream,<br />
hot cherry pie,<br />
lemon meringque pie<br />
plum duff<br />
cherry cheese cake<br />
<br />
Does this sound like your Christmas!<br />
<br />
Christmas music playing in the background, missing the sounds of little feet<br />
reminiscing of things past.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Wouldn't change anything for the world.</span><br />

Hello friends!<br />
<br />
You know every year we have an abundance of apples, Spy and Mac.<br />
<br />
Mr. WWH spends hours picking and picking by hand and filling bushel baskets.<br />
<br />
We only have 2 trees but wow APPLES!!!!!<br />
<br />
Our families, friends fill up their homes with apples . Did you know you can freeze apples.<br />
You peel them, core them and then slice them, put them into airtight containers, or freezer bags and<br />
pop them into your freezer. Then down the road when you want to make apple crisp, apple sauce etc.<br />
you have them.<br />
<br />
Well like I said an abundance. <br />
<br />
Mr. WWH. ends up putting the bushel baskets filled with apples to our curbside with a<br />
sign "FREE APPLES" just leave the bushel baskets.<br />
<br />
Cars stopped constantly and fill up their bags. One gentlemen brought our bushel basket<br />
back to our door and thanked us so much. Inside was a $5.00 bill and a note that he<br />
was dropping off free range eggs in appreciation. By the way those eggs were delicious!<br />
<br />
And so it continues, still apples to be picked so we try buying an apple picker. None to be found!<br />
<br />
So, Mr WWH did the next best thing, made his own.<br />
<br />
<br />

Here you go! One delicious Mac picked with our new apple picker.<br />
<br />
Needless to say our trees needed pruning so Mr.WWH went to work<br />
with a tree trimmer and cut them down to size . These trees still have<br />
apples on them .<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Now we can reach the apples from the ground 13FT. plus+!<br />

Hello friends!<br />
<br />
I know it's been awhile, time just passes.<br />
<br />
Today I would love to share with you our Son and DIL's new renovated bedroom.<br />
<br />
They did it themselves. DIY Shiplap!!!<br />
<br />
I have been seeing this new technique in all the magazines and over the net.<br />
<br />
Mostly used was plywood cut into strips but Bill went out on a limb and did it<br />
his way!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Downright GORGEOUS!!! Wouldn't you agree!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

First they had their room painted in Benjamin Moore</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stonington Gray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then finding his wall studs he taped the wall before laying out his pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then went to work nailing them in place.</div>

The shiplap was stained not painted with minwax gray.<br />
This way the knots in the pine would<br />
show through.<br />
<br />
Did you notice new king size bed and bedding.<br />
<br />

Sorry there were no before pictures. The before room was painted in a soft yellow.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's a view of the whole room.<br />
<br />
Last year I shared with you the barn door that my husband made for them.<br />

Next in their plans is to rip up the carpet and lay hardwood flooring!<br />
<br />
Love how this room turned out.<br />
<br />
Have you done any renovations lately?<br />
<br />
Love hearing about them and please let me know your thoughts on shiplap!<br />

<br />
Mad Michael's restaurant in Wyebridge , Ont. We had our lunch here on the second day.<br />
It felt like we had stepped back in time to the 60's. Coffee with cinnamon . I remember<br />
Yorkville coffee shops in the 60's serving coffee with cinnamon. Whoops I guess I'm<br />
aging myself....<br />
<br />
Quite quaint! So if you ever get a chance stop in I'm sure you'll love the ambience !<br />
<br />

Hello friends,<br />
<br />
I don't know about you but I welcome fall. Cooler days and nights, fires, sweaters........<br />
Don't get me wrong I love the heat too but this year here in the Kawarthas has been<br />
extremely hot and dry. The gardens sure have taken a beating.<br />
<br />
<br />
With changing temperatures and cooler days and nights the maple trees<br />
are giving us spectacular colour.<br />
<br />
As I sat in our sunroom the other day I pulled out my watercolour pencils and started painting<br />
this leaf. Our trees overlooking our deck have yet to change colour so I improvised.<br />
<br />
Love how it turned out looking like Quilt Art.<br />
<br />
Well I couldn't stop there, it moved me to bring out my water colour paints.<br />
<br />
You all remember our 49 ford pickup.<br />
<br />

Why not a truck full of pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!<br />
<br />
<br />
Welcoming fall and all its spectacular colour.<br />
<br />
We are off this weekend farther northwest with our vintage (classic car club) touring and<br />
hoping to take many pictures of the changing of the season. The temperature is to be<br />
around 60 F. or 17 celsius.<br />
So it will be jeans for me and a warm sweater.........<br />
<br />
Here's some pumpkins that I painted. This one in watercolour....<br />

<br />
Hello friends, I know it's been awhile.<br />
<br />
We have had such a busy summer that I took a break from blogging.<br />
<br />
I know many of you have done the same. Here we are still having extremely warm<br />
days. Doesn't feel like September.<br />
<br />
Loving all the fall decorations that I have been seeing. Makes me want to start pulling<br />
out my fall......It's hard to think fall when my flower baskets are still blooming and<br />
overflowing.<br />
<br />
Thought I would share my newest passion.<br />
<br />
I'm finding painting to be very therapeutic.<br />
<br />

grand daughter Miss A. My first portrait!<br />
<br />
<br />
I took up painting to help me get through the long months of pain.<br />
Doctors, chiropractors,physiotherapists, MRI's and specialists.<br />
In the end my back seems to have healed on it's own and no operation is in order.<br />
<br />
HOORAY!!!!!<br />
<br />
My family physician told me this sometimes happens. That it's a good thing that<br />
it took so long for me to see a specialist and the wait for an operation.<br />
<br />
I would still like to know what brought on this pain. I don't remember hurting my back in any<br />
way . I just remember getting out of my chair and being hunched over. It took me awhile to straighten up. That was over a year and a half ago. How can I be diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis and was told that I would have my L3,4 and 5 fused together and my spinal canal scrapped of bone spurs.<br />
<br />
I woke up one morning in May and I had no pain. I was wondering what the.....<br />
<br />
I was on heavy meds and decided to stop taking them and within a month went back to my family doctor and told her my great news.<br />
I just know my prayers we answered.<br />
<br />
The power of prayer!<br />
<br />
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to catch up.<br />
<br />
Take care,<br />
<br />

<br />
The days fly by so quickly in the summer, don't they!<br />
<br />
I have joined a few online painting groups and have been trying to keep up.<br />
One of the stipulations was to paint a watercolour picture daily. UGH!! ME!<br />
I'm just a beginner without any art lessons......Could I!!<br />
<br />
Well I put my brush to the test.<br />
<br />
Kathy posted these beautiful sunflowers and I just had to paint them. Watercolour 9 x 12 . Drop by her instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kate482010/">https://www.instagram.com/kate482010/</a><br />
and you will see for yourself.<br />
<br />
Then I thought I would do pen/ink with watecolour and sketch out this farmstead<br />
not far from us in a small town called Leaskdale.<br />
This painting is on postcard size 4 x 6 . I made this cute pad for on the go.<br />

<br />
A little wonky, but hey that's what art is all about having fun!<br />
<br />
Sunday evening outside on the front bench I sketched what ever came into my head.<br />
<br />
Sugar'n cream with berries. <br />
<br />

<br />
Another on my to go pad 4 x 6 . In pen/ink with watercolour. My still life needs alot of work.<br />
<br />
But I managed to paint another in a day.<br />
<br />
It's also worldwatercolormonth on Facebook and I'm loving all the beautiful pieces of artwork!<br />
I get the odd like but hey again I'm just a beginner having fun!<br />
<br />
Well I'm sure I've bored you to death!<br />
<br />
Thought I would end this post with my sweet fur baby Benny.<br />

And we are off on another overnight excursion. This time in the 49 Meteor.<br />
<br />
What a smooth ride.<br />
<br />
Canada Day Weekend with our friends we headed the back roads to Kingston Ontario.<br />
<br />
We never take the straight and narrow.....Highways.....<br />

OOOPS!! Of all the things that could have happened to our 67 year old car......<br />
<br />
Bump,bump, bump.....WHAT'S THAT NOISE!<br />
<br />
<br />
A Flat and of course it's raining!!<br />
<br />
I'm trying to help out by sheltering them with a Umbrella or two but they weren't interested.....<br />

<br />
With this handy dandy compressor our spare tire on and ready to go!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The rain stopped and were on our way again. This time towards some civilization.<br />
<br />
You see our spare is not a whitewall and over 40 years old so we thought it best to find<br />
a tire store and get a new one.......<br />
<br />
Forgetting that it's Canada Day and everything is closed.<br />
<br />
Oh well we made it to Kingston, Ontario and our hotel. Got settled in and then we were<br />
off to a car cruise in. We like to stop and take a look at the other vintage cars and stop and chat.<br />
<br />
Wil thought that maybe someone could give us a tip on where to purchase another whitewall tire.<br />
<br />
A few places that they recommended for us on the Saturday were closed. I guess they were taking<br />
advantage of a long weekend as well. Can't blame them.<br />
<br />
The weather turned gorgeous.....no rain, just plenty of sun.<br />
<br />
Do you see where we ended up getting a spare and had it installed. At least it was new and we<br />
knew that it would get us back home.<br />
<br />

Can you read the sign through the back window? Canadian Tire!!<br />
<br />
Don't you just love these old cars and their roominess!!<br />
<br />
Ok we off and running again this time we took in a flea market that we noticed not<br />
far from our Hotel.<br />

Boys will be boys,,,,,fooling around on these electric scooters!<br />
<br />
We started back home, taking another route one more used , stopped had lunch at Tim Horton's<br />

Antique Mall. <br />

Wow, there was plenty to see and buy. Well laid out and clean. That's the kind of store I like.<br />
<br />
I'm not one for rummaging through old finds.<br />
<br />
Can you just imagine a mall of that size and I came home with<br />
0000000.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then we stopped in Newtonville, Ontario at the BA Station. Once a fully operational<br />
service station now becomes a Auction House.<br />

Happy Saturday Friends!<br />
<br />
How are you all keeping cool? It sure has been a hot one.<br />
No complaining here, before you know it Winter's here and the ugly word ...<br />
<br />
Snow!!<br />
<br />
Well I've been keeping cool in my studio downstairs, painting.<br />
<br />
I've seen so many of you with cow paintings I just had to paint one myself.<br />
<br />

<br />
Acrylic on canvas. 8" x 10" Not too big.<br />
<br />
<br />
Old Bessy here is a Holstein.! I like to name my paintings! A dairy cow!<br />
<br />
There are quite a few that roam the fields around our home here in the country.<br />
I just saw fit to paint one.<br />
<br />
I just noticed on my walk the other day that our neighbouring farms barn is being dismantled.<br />
<br />
That's sad to see. Maybe a new one will go up in it's place.<br />
<br />
Must get out today and take some pics and maybe paint me a barn.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

Half a dozen please of your raisin butter tarts. Yes you are seeing only four, we had to taste<br />
test while we were there.<br />
<br />
Betty's is located on Hwy # 2 between Port Hope, Ontario and Coburg.<br />

Back on the road again heading towards the Big Apple in Colborne, Ont we stopped at<br />
this cute Antique shop.<br />

In the bottom left hand corner of this picture I noticed these red plates. You know I love red and white transferware. <br />
<br />
I must apologize for the poor photo. I only had my phone with me not my camera.<br />
Would you just know it I got so busy looking around I forgot to take more pics.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our round trip home put 154 miles on the 49 Meteor and what a beauty of a day!<br />
<br />
The night before I had been to a yard sale and look what I found.<br />
I new if I didn't snatch it up someone would!<br />

My cast iron urn is 8 inches high by 18 inches across. Trying to decide what to plant in it!<br />
Any suggestions!<br />
<br />
I know it's been so hot these past weeks and we have been praying for rain.<br />
A storm came through, only winds, rained all around us.<br />
<br />
So to keep our fur baby Benny cool he went to the doggy spa.<br />
<br />
Benny had his summer clip.<br />

<br />
Hello Friends! It's been awhile.<br />
<br />
I took some time off from the computer. Ever find that just sometimes you need that?<br />
<br />
I know I did. What to write, what's my audience looking for, Sometimes it's just plain pressure.<br />
<br />
Just so everyone knows out there.....I blog for fun!!! That's all!<br />
<br />
So this is what I have been up to.<br />
<br />

<br />
I found my new love .....painting.....<br />
<br />
I dedicate this grumpy cat to my niece since her cat passed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Found my love in watercolour pencils. I use Derwent brand. Great pigment.<br />
<br />
I don't mind sharing this with you, even though many out there like to keep their art mysterious.<br />

Morning Friends!<br />

Just to the west of us the horses are grazing. One is full and having a rest while the other<br />
stays close.<br />

My poppies haven't shown yet! They are late. Maybe have to plant some seeds for next year.<br />
<br />
Looks like it needs some thinning out. But not for this girl. Still need back rest.<br />

Hello Friends!<br />
<br />
Have you ever been on a Paint Nite! Or a Worshop for soft pastels?<br />
<br />
Well I spent Friday night with a few friends doing just that.<br />
<br />
Learning new colouring techniques with chalk pastels.<br />
<br />
Wasn't sure if this class was something that I would enjoy or like but by<br />
the end of the session I was hooked. Line and sinker.<br />
<br />
This introductory class began with the red fox , as seen above.<br />
<br />
We were given chalk soft pastels, tracing paper, pencil, and a gesso board 6x6.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVegBOs8xKAMr7eUIUvZSwfc3WEBAB7DS9AUJt7SrqxHPv894OZmXwofyNGi3t1BJPshmbg4NLb3WrFIuhqj_104MW4PTOytRJzh5IJLsI7CQd_-OAsZFDTXC5Ua0ZvIbQ55x4RKsvtQ/s1600/soft+pastels3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVegBOs8xKAMr7eUIUvZSwfc3WEBAB7DS9AUJt7SrqxHPv894OZmXwofyNGi3t1BJPshmbg4NLb3WrFIuhqj_104MW4PTOytRJzh5IJLsI7CQd_-OAsZFDTXC5Ua0ZvIbQ55x4RKsvtQ/s640/soft+pastels3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Also a black and white copy of the above. Once we traced the fox's head onto the gesso<br />
board we continued the process of bringing this cute red fox to life one stroke at a time.<br />
<br />
First up we learned the different strokes using the chalk pieces. The square edge or the<br />
full piece dragging it along on a piece of paper till we felt comfortable with the look we<br />
were trying to achieve.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Here's my cute fox, poking his head out of a tree stump for the first time.<br />
<br />

<br />
What a fun night it was, laughter, new friends and who knows maybe this course<br />
brought out an artist within,<br />
<br />
<br />
You know the old saying....<br />
<br />
<br />
"You are never to old to learn new tricks"<br />
<br />
Hope everyone's weekend was as eventful as mine.<br />

Hello friends!<br />
Hope everyone's Mother's Day was as beautiful as mine.<br />
<br />
Last year when we built our gorgeous sun room I filled it with items I love!<br />
<br />
But there was something missing.<br />
<br />

A coffee table! I thought we could use this pouffe that I found at Homesence.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But.... it was hard to put a drink on it in fear of it spilling.<br />
<br />
So we were on the look out for a table that would compliment our furniture.<br />
<br />
So I started looking at garden furniture. OMG! the $$$ signs. This was last year.<br />
<br />
Coffee tables were too big and bulky as well as $$$ so we made do.<br />
<br />
Now it's sun room season again and we are on the lookout for a table.<br />
<br />
Without looking Mr WWH came home with the perfect table. My hubby went dumpster diving....<br />
<br />
No not quite, picked this gem up on the side of the road.<br />
<br />

Measuring 19 1/2 inches by 40 inches. It had a shelf on the bottom that we already removed.<br />
<br />
Perfect condition! But needed some updating. So Mr WWH went to work.<br />
<br />
<br />
Took it apart and cut down the legs to 15 inches and then with the palm sander gave it a<br />
good sanding.<br />
<br />
Put it back together again and now it's ready for painting.<br />

Hello friends!<br />
<br />
Here's a quick and easy faux floral arrangement just in time for Mother's Day!<br />
<br />
All my supplies came from the $$$Store.<br />
<br />
Here's what you will need:<br />
Bouquet of daisies<br />
wire cutters<br />
florist foam<br />
container<br />
jute twine<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
First I cut the stems with wire cutters!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Next I cut the florist foam to fit my container, Then I added my cut stems!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Cut a piece of jute twine and wrapped it around my vase and tied it with a knot.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It's that easy and Mom will love it!<br />
<br />
Since it's floral foam and you have some store bought daisies, roses, mums. you can follow the same<br />
directions and then add water to the foam to keep your daisies (flowers) fresh!<br />
<br />
<br />
Super Easy and Quick!<br />
