Believe it...or NOT.

Testing...1..2...Testing...1...2...

Is anyone out there?

LOL!

How are you? I hope you are doing well=0) I've been splashing around in my watercolors, but haven't had much time to write about it=0/

Sorry 'bout that!

I have been thinking...about summer. She's right around the corner. I've noticed that as I get older...time moves at such a rapid pace. I'M EXHAUSTED=0) How does this happen? It was just Winter and the eggnog was flowing around here. Oh well...

What have you been up to? I've been painting a lot and reading a lot. I've also been cleaning up after little fingers, but before you know it...BOOM. They'll be all grown up. Off to somewhere...that's what I hear from my friends with an empty nest. So...back to summer. I'm thinking we should go somewhere tropical and run around a bit. Dip our toes somewhere and chill for a bit. Eat a bunch of smores and have some more until we can't take it anymore.=0) My son thinks we should drive across the whole country in a zig zag formation. Stopping at every Six Flags in sight. He's a dreamer like me...so lets DREAM. I think we should go somewhere tropical. Just sit around! I'm getting old...need to rest my joints=0P I'll need a hip replacement before I know it! 

LOL! My daughter thinks we should go to Disney....something...anything! I've noticed that my ears are more like satellite dishes these day. How did everything get so...LOUD. I feel like the grandma in Sixteen Candles. Complaining the phone ringing too late at night. So, somewhere quiet is what I'm thinking. If we snorkle...now that's super quiet=0)

What plans do you have? Anything in Nantucket? Carribean? I'd love a suggestion!

Have a great day!

XOXO,

Carol

My other job....

X-Lets just drive all the way to New Jersey. There's a Six Flags there.

Me-We should fly to New York...then get a rental car.

X-Yeah...we will get our moneys worth for our season pass.

Me-True, but it's so humid there.

X-It's going to be fun!

Me-Yep, but I can't go on the roller coasters. Dad's your go-to person for that.

X-I think I almost have J's vote for the trip. Can I count on your vote.

Me-Uumm...not just yet. I'm still dreaming about what I want to do. 

X-Ugggg....

Me-It's going to be fun either way. Trust me=0)

X-Ugggg(eye rolls)

Falling in love with my subject

Buenos dias!

Here is Tiki again. She is a french bulldog and I'm just IN LOVE with her. She looks like she is so comfy. I love her knitted aqua blanket! I though it would be interesting to paint her. The knitting was tricky, but I love the process/challenge. She is all packed up and on her way home and I have to admit that I will miss her little face. 

Thank you Adam & Eva for letting me paint her!

My little assistant wanted to color too. She brought me her subject and I did a quick sketch.

She LOVES these neon coloring pencils I got her. They are super fun!

Hope you have a great day. We are due for rain this weekend, but it looks like it's coming early.

If you are on the east coast...STAY WARM.

Kiss your peeps!

Knitting on paper

HoLa!

I love to knit and last night I started a new knitting project. This time on paper!

Meet Miss Tiki...she's a little sleepy and would rather we went away. I'm about half way done with her, so I wanted to give you a little peek at her=0) She's a french bulldog and isn't she just so cute?

xoxo

My other job....

Me-We are going outside to play! Wanna have a four square match? Or hand ball match?

X-I'm busy.

Me-Come on. It's so nice outside and you could use some fresh air.

X-I'd rather play video games.

Me-Your timer will be up in like...two minutes. Then meet us outside?

X-I'd rather read.

Me-Do you fear the wrath of my hand ball/four square awesomeness? It's O.K. to admit it. 

X-YOU OFFEND ME MOTHER. Lets go! AND NO CRYING.
