trucks,diggers,tractors...

HEY...it's Friday!I know...I said I would be back every day this week...but I have been enjoying walking...and have had my head FULL of construction...my wonderful Mr.R is doing a fabulous job on my studio...and I have been pricing out cabinets...they're not cheap you know!!! BUT I hope Art Camp will be able to pay for them...if not all...but the majority.
Talking about ART CAMP...I am almost full...just a couple of weeks which have openings.
I'm SO excited...it's like a turning point for me in my Career, AND I get a studio out of it!

I met with a lovely lady on Tuesday and she really would like a CONSTRUCTION Zone Mural for her eldest son...pretty cool...and I am totally out of my comfort zone when it comes to diggers,tractors and earth movers...so it's a great challenge.
Doesn't everyone LOVE a challenge!!!

I am hoping to paint it at the beginning of June.
I'll show you the finished wall proposal over the weekend.

Canada has a LOVELY long weekend starting tomorrow...dry wall and mud...tape and sanding will be what's happening in the basement this weekend.

What are you up to? (nosey aren't I :-)

Hugs to you all and thanks for passing by, and leaving such energized comments about our Lego Flags...they were fun to do, and made the girls really think about building things differently.

Until I post again.

calm on the Farm...

 it's THURSDAY already...I still haven't posted that list I promised I would...but as you can see...my hands have been busy.

growing up on a farm is really very special...an endless space to play for children and this time when we went back to see family, I really noticed the freedom and calm space brings to children.

So,this is definitely something which has been added to my 2011 list...connect with Nature on a regular bases.

How do you connect with Nature if you live in a City?

I'd love to hear about your nature outings or crafts which involve you with Nature.

Have a lovely day...we're off to the Library...

MY ETSY SHOP : now open again - special New Year SALE.

boys and their tractors...

good morning...are you having a good Wednesday?

we're having a quiet morning...it's raining today...

the girls are tired from Caribbean dancing last night...they perform every night next week...we have what's called "Fiesta Week" here starting on Father's Day. I think there are 12 Pavillions in our town...Polish,Italian,French,German etc...and ours is the Caribbean Hall.

They're all open for Lunch where they serve their traditional cuisines and then open again for the evening...each Hall hosts a show with dancing from their country. It's a lot of fun...but it will be a LONG week.

my nephew just turned 2 and is pretty hot on Tractors...I wasn't going to post this until he received it in the mail...but I don't think he'll check in on our blog here...so I think we're safe...

I have a painting for Miss A's teacher to finish today which I started last night...and the girls finished the Grad cards for Miss A's class yesterday(can you believe the Kindergartens have a full blown Graduation?)...

times are busy around here...2 weeks left of school...and then we'll be packing to come over to the UK.

not sure what to get my husband for Father's day...any suggestions?

Have a lovely day...
