I guess I've been absent for quite some time. Is anyone still here? I haven't been posting for a few reasons but it doesn't matter. We had a GREAT summer and the kids are back in school, everybody's been healthy (thank goodness) and the routine is getting back into place. Thank goodness!
I'm here now and I think I'm going to do a blog overhaul. It's time.
I've been making some elements and papers for digital scrapbooking and having fun with that. I've been painting and drawing and getting back to my original roots. Things that don't involve much as far as very fine motor skills. My arm is still such a bugger! I just can't type as much, or knit as much and not doing both of those things is really soooo sad to me. So, with that being said, I'm VERY happy doing these other things, and having a lot of fun. Here's a little peak:
The first picture is a small preview of the things I've created and the second photo is kindof a fantasy face. I'm doing some special things for special someones and this is the begining. I've NEVER done faces in this much detail before and I need to get some practice under my belt, not to mention learning how to do hair! (graphite, Prismacolor Premier colored pencils, Golden fluid acrylics.)
Thats my story for now. What's been going on with you - those that are left. Leave me a comment!
Miss you all!

First! I'm first! Nice to "see" you. Any way you can be artistic is a plus, right? Welcome back!

Hi Mary-Kay,
Glad to see you back. I'm still spinning and knitting, and have added weaving to my adventures in fiber arts. Sorry to hear your arm is bothering you. What ever happened with your foot. If it's not one thing it's another. I have 11 sheep now and lots of wool. It keeps me happy. Love ya, Sheena
