Skills From the Past

Found this at the library
in the Friends of the Library
shop, for 25 cents!

My first thought was to put it to
use on canvas or collage
but once I opened it I realised
a different value.

Many things from the past
I still think are very useful!

Supplies At the Ready!

My watercolours draw
This is where I keep my travel sets
and computer desk watercolour supplies.
I have another tube set on my paint table
with all the mask, blends and other additives.

At my computer desk
I keep water too,
because allot of my ideas come to me
while I'm chatting with family
and friends,
or while I'm or rather
when I WAS reading
my chapters for school work.

For now
I'm happy to have my supplies
at the ready
while I'm working on
my business plan
and mapping out my next
few steps towards school,
art, business
and life!

Remembering My Dad

After thinking of my Mum yesterday,
I began thinking of my Dad.

Pictured here, my Dad and I at easter time
(funny how we take spring photos on this day, allot in my family)
I think I was 4 years old.

My Dad passed 33 years ago.
I think of him nearly everyday since.

Remembering My Mum

Happy Mother's Day!
This photo was taken many years ago on easter morning.
My Mum was holding on to my son
so he would not drat off
as he had done several times prior to this photo.
My daughter was clearly being her typical silly self.
The dress she is wearing was designed and sewn by my Mum, her Nana!
Hard to believe this year marks 10 years since my Mum's passing. I miss her!
