Holiday Wreath!!

I finally found an afternoon to create my own wreath.

I am reminded of the story about the cobbler's children who went barefoot, their father too busy creating shoes for other children.

I willingly spend my time creating for others, and our own front porch wall was empty, lacking a festive wreath ... until this weekend when I found some time to create a new one using items I have had tucked away for a couple of years.

I am very pleased with the way it turned out although I do wish I had a white light cord instead of the green one I upcycled from my stash. It will not be seen from the road.

I took my photos this morning as I left the house and must say I am inspired by the third ... it may be the start of an abstract ... but for now, it is just my front porch wreath, finally!

December .....

Hello everyone .... I have been on the run since Thanksgiving .... painting and crafting and enjoying the spirit of the Holidays. Last week I spent every evening with a room full of crafters for ornament classes. We laughed and created some very cute ornaments.

My demonstrations may end up in my esty shop.

Hopefully posting on the blog and reading others will work it's way back into my routine.

Take care everyone,
teri

Great Day ....

It was a great with all my students!

I love to share by teaching.

On the Road ....

I am headed out of the studio for most of the day today to teach a beginning watercolor class at the local Art Association.

I enjoy introducing people to the wonders of watercolor ... usually people like it because it is fresh and splashy and then will not allow themselves to splash and splatter ... my goal is to get them to loosen up.

I will post photos later.

I am waving my magic wand and granting you all the wish to do whatever creative thing you wish you could do ... easily ... HAVE FUN!!!!!

Treasury ...

just a heads up that one of my leaf paintings is included in this Treasury until Monday the 30th.

It is one of the examples of the class I am teaching on the 2nd!

Let me know if you are interested in the painting or the class.

It is Saturday here at the Brick and Mortar ... we haven't been too busy but I can't seem to get anything accomplished ... ever have one of those days???

HA! The floor is shaking ... I think is all of you rolling on the floor,laughing ... I am going to turn up the tunes and try to get something going! Wishing you are productive day ... some one better be!

New follower,,,,,,

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and welcome to a new follower, Gene, who is also on Etsy and a painter!
Check out his work, different from mine but great to look at and learn from.

Use this day ...
to rest or be active ...
to talk or be quiet ...
to eat or fast ...
to share or keep it all to yourself ...

but USE the day!
It's your life!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! My cup is full.......

Just a quick pop in to say Happy Thanksgiving ... I painted a china tea cup with my students today and will post it later ... I told them it represented my cup being full, to the point of overflowing, with all the things I have to be thankful for.

I hope you are content with your Thanksgiving plans and make the most of the day and the season.
