Blizzard 2013

 What a day!  This was about 8:30am this morning, from inside my home.  We're guessing we ended up with over two feet of snow today and boy did the wind blow!  I thought surely we would loose power.

But we were fortunate, we did not, so I was able to spend some quality time in my studio for a good part of the day, waiting and waiting for the storm to subside.

Finally, late in the afternoon, with the wind still blowing, I decided it was time to spend some quality time with our shovel...

I am going to be soooo sore in the morning...

lupines on shells

I love to walk the beach and treasure hunt. I love sea glass and shells. Some of the shells I've been collecting have a little holes worn away by the sea, just where I can put a jump ring to make a necklace. Lupines are one of my favorite flowers to paint. These are just a few that I painted and sold last year at craft shows.
