another year

2010

where did the time go?

remember Y2K?

what a difference a little time makes

i'm not one for new years resolutions

i like to set goals for the up coming year

do more art!

------

wishing everyone a

happy new year

and all the best for a

healthy

and

creative

2010

christmas presents

most women wouldn't get excited

opening a blow torch or a heat gun!

the only 2 things on my list this year

it will be great to try them out next week

when my encaustic class resumes

i also received some linen and wood canvases

plus some coloured wax and scrappers

and a extra gift from one of my clients

old dental tools

which will be great for carving the wax

merry christmas

may the spirit of christmas bring you peace,
the gladness of christmas give you hope,
the warmth of christmas grant you love
unknown

wishing everyone a very merry christmas

and all the best for 2010

i'm dreaming of a white christmas

christmas waves a magic wand over the world,
and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful

looking back at last year

and i didn't stop until april!

above a photo from my street

on christmas eve '08

as much as i don't miss shoveling the snow

i'm dreaming tonight.......

baby it's cold!!

still no snow

but baby!... it's cold outside!!

winter garden

the only thing left standing in the garden

my hydrengea

with a light dusting of snow

meanwhile.........

my friends on the east coast are

digging out from over a foot of snow!

shadow shot sunday

i still haven't put up my christmas tree
worried about beanie climbing to the top
so i just put some lights in the front bay window
to add a little christmas spirit
snowballs and pinecone lights
they make a nice shadow in the day
perfect for shadow shot sunday
