I haven't deserted the board. I have just been doing other things, like painting and knitting in the evening, now that our Florida winter is upon us lol. I will post a couple of the paintings I have so far. Thanks for the birthday wishes. I spent all my birthday money on lovely yarn lol. I can't find my files but I posted them to Pinterest. Go to the folk art page and the first four item are the ones I just did. The angle is a 4ft statue that my neighbor threw away, It was all black and grey and very sad looking but I knew she had possibilities.
