I had one of my sister (Judy) visit for a week and it was so nice. The second sister lives nearby so we had some wonderful sistertime. While here, Judy and I made new draperies for her living room. In my former life I was self-employed making window treatments, etc for my customers. It was a skill I had not used for several years and it was much fun doing something different for a change. Sisters are invaluable.

Thank you ladies, it's so good to hear all your voices. I do miss posting and sewing. I have so much to catch up on now that my sis has left. I spent every minute with her so things got put on the back shelf. I hope to get going soon tho. I do intend to sew a few little things and I want to still work on the that difficult Clam Shell project. That was the last project that I worked on. I am thinking of drafting something new with that pattern and will post when I have it.
In the meantime I will come back and read and post as I do miss this community.

Hi, I'm back for a visit. I thought I would share what I have been doing. Well, I told you I was in a painting fit right? lol and still am. Get you tea or coffee, story time and pics.
Painting the Angel of Death lol
My neighbor was moving and she had this 4 ft. grey Angle in her back yard. I told her to just throw her in my yard if she decided to not take her. She promptly did so after her children told her they were scared of it lol.
I pulled out many colors of reds, purple, blues, yellows greens, whites.I just started painting her, I had no idea what I was doing, I was just doing it. I will post some pic of the stages and you will see how she changed as I changed my mind lol. She is made out of some kind of heavy stuff. It's not cement or chalk or ceramic but seems like some heavy kind of resin or whatever. She is quite rough, not smooth at all but she turned out ok after all. Here are some before and after and then now.

I've missed you. I always enjoy looking at your quilting projects. I think I referred someone to your page a while back to look at a quilt you had made. I'm still wanting to do the Labyrinth Walk but it can wait. Yours turned out so nice.
I wonder why the kids were scared of this angel? She doesn't look scarey. You transformed her with your paint! I'll let you get back to your painting. Just know you have been missed.

Thank you Lady, I miss all you guys too but the painting bug has struck lol. I have finished painting her, she wore me out lol. I don't know why her grown kids were scared of her or they didn't like her. I think she reminded them of a Cemetary? Well I was going to put her in the backyard where my doggies are buried but I didn't want her to be grey as my doggies gave me much joy in their short life.
That is why I had to paint her, it was a job.
