sometimes we just need a vacation from it all. See you when you get back and let us enjoy some of your paintings.

May I suggest you do not give to Goodwill. the owner of that organization is a millionaire. Please give it to a church or to the salvation army where no one becomes a millionaire from donated goods.

I know what you are saying. Last year I felt as though the house owned me instead of me owning the house. Felt sooooo good to get rid of 'stuff'.

Fun stuff like folk art, I will post some.

You are so right. One of my friends at the gym asked to save stuff for her church fair where they practically give the stuff away and I will do that, I still have lots to go.

I will read everyday and post as this board is my enjoyment too.

LOL I have done all the dejunking I am doing for a while ... Now time to sew and crochet ! Have fun painting be sure to show us what you come up with !

Is it in the air? I have invited my two girls to come up and help me unload some stuff onto them. They can share a trailer and haul any of it back home with them, or lot s of it to goodwill, or the dump. I still want to sew, however! I wish they could have done it yesterday, or last week. I hate having a good idea and then having to wait to do it!!
Enjoy your painting! Perhaps you could do some beautiful blocks for a painted quilt? Sounds like fun to me! I need to repaint my front door. Ten years ago i painted sprays of morning glories, so now it's time to repaint them or add new blooms and other flowers. Enjoy your art and post pictures! We'd love to see what you are doing!

Yep, still hauling stuff out hahahahahah. I went to my gym this morning with a car full for one of the ladies who asked to have some for her church fair. I unload the lot to her, she was so happy and we are not as done as I thought. I can't believe that I don't even remember the stuff hubby is hauling out of the garage. Bins of it lol......Ok, some good news.

He has hauled out 8 bins of gourds. These are small bowl size ones already cut and ready to paint they are already prepped. I am going to paint these first and do some little craft shows at the church or school and sell them at a very reasonable price. I will also do some mug rugs as both these items will make great teacher gifts or whatever.

I am going to paint them in the style of Peter Ompir (google him). Which will be flowers, roosters, colonial men and fruit and boy do I have the ideas, I dreamt about it last night lol. I can't wait. I still have to wait tho, lol but as soon as I start, I will post some in a thread called Peter ompir style.

Stay close Rosy. I just finished up a few projects and will be focusing on the clam shell quilt from your pattern now. I will be sure to post updates on it as I work on it.

This might be a silly ? When you say painting, is it the walls or canvas?:D If canvas, I would love to see!

take care while away from us.
peace

EDIT: It was a silly ? answered above. Ha
