New Year, New Commission

Hello!

I am back.  Since Christmas I have put away all my beads, and have been working on a painting project for my friend S.  She brought me a table and chairs to paint for her son Z.  The designs are not mine, I used the theme she had going on already in Z's room upon her request.  I don't usually like doing this, but the designs *are* pretty cute!! 

 Who can resist frogs and mushrooms, right??

 They were happy with the results, that's all that matters!!  
Now on to my waiting projects in the wings....

New Painting

I finished a new painting, at long last.  Well, it's not really finished-finished, but it's as close as it's going to get for now.  At this point I will only ruin it if I continue to poke at it.  Time to start something new.

I'm eagerly awaiting gardening weather.  I've planted my peas, and have many seedlings started.  I hope to document my garden a little better this year, maybe make a gardening journal.
