I think I'm addicted to.....................

Happy Tuesday y'all. My, my but Mother Nature truly is showing us her bipolar anxieties. Yesterday, I wore a tshirt and my flops and thought about turning the a/c on for a bit. Today it's a thermal shirt with thick socks and my flops...hehe!!! (and if I had a fireplace there would be a fire a going)

Now....I  have a confession to make peoples. I think I'm addicted to............painting on glass!!! Go figure and just how did that happen. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I have been painting non stop for two weeks now. That COULD be it, yes? ^_^  I finished the ones that Diane commissioned for Beach Reflections and delivered the last five this morning.

I think this is going to be my design on any simple turtle ones I do from now on. I like the tribal look of these. Each one, like all the others, have sand and tiny shells found on the beach in Gulf Shores, AL.

From doing these, a friend contacted me and wanted me to do one for her but not of a turtle. She wanted one of her pretty yellow and white cat.

She loved it and that made my heart very, very HAPPY!!! Instead of the hemp bows I have been attaching to the ornaments I decided to use some of my pretty yarn. I mean it is of a cat and cat's LOVE yarn!! ^_^

I've also received a request to paint two ornaments with peacocks. I'm really excited to work on them as I haven't painted birds in a very long time. My muse is already whispering. What? What was that? HEHE

I hope that YOU have a wonderful day today and remember to say "Thank you" for at least one of your blessings. My thank you for today is YOU. Thank you for coming to sit under the old Southern Ooaks tree even if it's just to read what's happening in my whimsical world.

It's the beginning of a Thankful week!!

My last post wished y'all a happy middle of the week. This post is wishing everyone a HAPPY beginning of a brand new week. One where we should be giving "Thanks" for all the many blessings we have.

As y'all know I have been working on those hand painted glass Christmas ball ornaments and they seem to be multiplying on me peoples...hehe. That's alright though because I'm really having fun painting and using glitter. Ohhhh, the use of the glitter is an added bonus indeed. ^_^  I took the ones I finished into the gift shop yesterday as I was helping out for the day and three of them went.....just like that. Yeah!!! The three sea turtles so I guess today I'll be a painting sea turtles.

The three that SOLD!! ^_^

Here's the remaining ones that are at the shop. I hope that if you are a local that you will go by Beach Reflections / Blue Mermaid gift shop and if not local or just like to shop online then please visit their online store. 

Now...time to paint some sea turtles and enjoy a relaxing Sunday. I hope that YOU have a wonderful Sunday, the beginning of a new week. Remember peoples, that it IS a new week which is like a new chapter in a book where you are the writer. One where you can start over, each and every day......enjoy!!!

Sending you Mermaid Kisses and Starfish Wishes,

I do doodle designs sometimes ^_^

Happy Sunday peoples!! I hope you've had a wonderful weekend filled with adventure and if no adventures then I do hope some much needed rest and relaxation. Both are good....very, very good indeed.

I have been doodling all morning. Yes, I do doodle designs sometimes..hehe!! Try saying "I do doodle designs" fast five times...get that tongue a working. My doodles are hopefully (fingers crossed) going to be painted on glass Christmas balls. Keeping with my beach themed designs I'm excited to get started on some this afternoon.

Now keep in mind these are just doodles (rough drawings) I don't sit and draw neatly unless I'm planning on actually using the pen and pencil for something where it needs to be neat. I just love to doodle!!! I have a few more doodles that I've done over the years that I might just use too. We'll see how it goes.

Hope you'll come back to sit under the old Southern Ooaks tree to see just how these turned out. My muse has so many ideas being sung to me and well...I wish she would just shhhhush for a bit and let me catch up. ^_^

Until next time............Mermaid kisses and starfish wishes (my new saying)
