Cherry bones hurt my teeth

Etsys new Treasury East!

Well Etsy has made a new treasury that is open 24-7 for treasury making now, Treasury East. So I made these two treasuries yesterday :) The first is titled Blueberry Smoothie because I didn't get to have my blueberry smoothie because part of my blender broke the other day :/ I still don't know if Ill pay the $10 for the new part or just go buy a new cheap blender....

The next one I did is based on my husbands profession as a commercial electrician. He actually used to do more high voltage stuff than he has been doing lately which used to stress me out so bad...

I hope you like my treasuries :)

I cant wait

Dreaming in a dream...

Last night I dreamed that I dreamed I was a lute player. I have no idea where that came from. I always think its so strange when you dream that you are dreaming.

Images found searching "Lute" on ARC

Browsing for inspiration

Im working on a set of four new paintings, the four seasons. I have the basic stuff figured out but I am in need of some inspiration for some of it like...well Im not exactly sure what I am really missing. Thats the trouble with this art thing, sometimes an image is totally solid and and I know exactly what I want or need to paint and other times its kind of fuzzy and I just have a general feeling Im working off of. I think I have found what I was looking for! Sometimes you see it and it just clicks and then you know...

So I found this seller on Etsy who looks like she no longer is selling which makes me really sad cause I want to buy something from her for my inspiration board in front of my computer. The seller is candyconnection22 and she used to sell such cute stuff like this! Oh my, I need those! So I went looking on the internets and I found this super cute blog Old Glory Cottage so many neat things there, and I havent read any of the posts yet I just looked at the pretty pictures :) Then I found this site: vintage holiday crafts where you can download some super cute vintage valentines, here are a couple so you can see how adorable:

I think I feel a new obsession coming on. I need to go to the thrift store soon to search for cute old cards to hoard ♥
