Hello, I haven't blogged in about 1 year! Wow! The year has flown by! I have opened a new shop, Stonecottagestudio@etsy.com . Please stop by an visit. My other shop, backroomtreasures has gotten so full, just too much for people to go through, and I wanted to do a cutsie-pie style of artwork, so I opened Stone Cottage. Actually, Stone Cottge Studio is all new. We have converted our huge garage into a studio. That really took so doing. The drywall is not up as of yet, but it has been insulated and has air conditioning. So, it is usable. I have been uysing it too. It is so nice to have a place to paint and not worry about leaving things out. Better than that, not having painting items all through the house and having to spend lots of time hunting for the items I need.

I am also teaching 4-5 classes per week now. It is such fun. I have two drawing classes I teach at area senior centers, they are the drawing on the right side of the brain ciriculum. Then I teach a beginner decorative painting class, a kids Wed night class and every now and then a canvas painting class. The next one is coming up soon. It will be a cottage and a bridge done in sort of a Kincaide style. Please visit my original shop backroomtreasures as well as my new shop and send me a convo anytime.
