Can You See Me?

Can you see me Sweetie?

I'm here....

My poor sweet Justice is 14 and 

deaf and blind.

But she keeps on truckin'.

Wish I were as brave.

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other

This is another "get 'er done" post

This chair in my studio gets a lot of use.

Both sides looked like the left one 

before I thought to snap a pic.

Around 11 pm last night I decided I had put off fixing

these arms long enough, as in YEARS. I knew it was a quick fix

and I was tooling right along, covering the damaged

"PLEATHER", and glued it all back together....

 until I hit the last of four bolts

holding the arms on..

Over 30 minute later and many, many, many, 

curse words later, I went to bed.

Tried again today and poof, went right together.

I was feeling pretty smug and pleased

 until I tried to download pics into new "photos"

on my new Mac.

Dropbox kicked up a mighty storm for some 

freaking unknown reason and 2 hours later

on the phone with Apple Care my brain exploded.

Can we all agree we 50+ somethings 

have a steeper learning curve with techno crap?

sigh 

Just sent out my first class announcement

for September.

 It's been 2 years since my last class, so

we'll see how it goes.

I keep forcing myself to face

new challenges, and deal with dignity

when life disappoints.

It's all a journey and I am NOT 

in first class seating, ha!

Hibernation

Spending hours in the studio:

Preparing for classes,

listening to playlists as my mood changes,

pondering life's condition

and hibernating.

oh yeah

it's hot

It Started With An Unsold Cabinet -WBC 2015

When my friend Ronda and I closed our little space in 

Boulder City, I had a leftover cabinet that did not sell.

I parked it in the garage and there it sat for a few months.

I had a painting project that I worked on out there

and in the process I used the cabinet to hold supplies.

The lightbulb flickered and

A garage studio was born!

 A few years back I held a class out here,

 and draped some of the walls

 and ceiling with tulle and canvas to hide all

the storage and unpainted walls.

Gosh girls do you remember 

how much fun that day was?

2011

Normally I held classes running 

down the center of my living room,

and that worked too.

2013

I have not taught classes for several years now 

but.....

since I had the canvas, the space and the time,

I figured go for it.

Determined to set it up

with no expense,

I began a couple weeks ago.
