Even though I've been away from this post for a very long time, it does not mean I've been away from art. Creativity, for me, is much more than sitting down with my paint brushes and canvas... I have created many things in the past 8 months including a complete remodel of 2 very 1970s bathrooms, designing the tile pattern for the master shower and then my husband and I tiled it ourselves... I've also sewn some adorable curtains with huge flowers and ribbon on them, and I've painted an old window as garden art for a friend. I also took time to celebrate my 15 year anniversary with my husband, develop many beautiful beds of flowers in my yard, take a much-needed vacation to Venice, Florida (think convertible, top down, sun, beach and porpoise) and I've begun preparing for a class I'm going to teach in a few weeks - painting vinyl floorcloths. My husband and I are also in the process of finishing out the last room of our house. We've made it into a 5th bedroom, but it's really going to be my art studio. I will actually have finished walls, plenty of light and a great place to sit and ponder...
