Good morning! It look like we will get sun. My red breasted woodpecker has come for the seeded suet. Pleased he has come back this winter. The Nuthatchs, Juncos, Sparrows, a Mourning Dove aJunior,

I have started a small portrait of Thomas my late husband. That sounds silly. Late for what? He died. But the thought is I want to paint. The question is oil, acrylic or gouache? Lol. I have other forms of art supplies pulled and put together such as a drummel and head set. Serpentine and alabaster stones to do some sculpting. My soft pastels are ready, a laminator press is waiting to do printmaking. Two large oil are now on the walls waiting for me to finish them. I am sizing them up now they are before me. Can you tell I have avalanched forward with the studio cottage! Very pleased with myself. It feels great. I think it’s 2 years this summer coming that we have been here. I have found ways to make furniture, my dishware, drawing tables, art stands and tables to work. I have to deal with what is now on top of tge art file. Boxes of art paper, etc. But it’s out of the bedroom now and I have a sitting area in there! I am enjoying reading, listening to my music, knitting leg warmers for my dancer granddaughter! I can do writing here as well. A pretty floor lamp has a home here now. A sleighbed has its place too. The bedroom is done all but hanging art and finessing the boho look.

I am adding plants to my life. Regrowing beets for their tops. Lol!

Nest wishes! Pejj
