#Celebration of Art #Handmade #Folksy

Thought I would show art today as it`s been over a week since we had any. I seem to be doing a lot of painting just lately because I am enjoying it so much. Did lose inspiration for a week not so long back but it has returned. It helped when we had Photos posted for a challenge that I had a go at and that was it I was busy painting with a vengeance. I am still crocheting too, making things for the summer but obviously they take a lot longer. Especially when I am trying out new designs as they often get taken out a few times before I am happy with them.
It`s been a great week with birthday celebrations, daughters, grandsons, brothers and my hubby`s yesterday. Tonight we will be having a family meal at my daughter`s. I love it when we all get together! Next weekend it will be my grandaughters birthday so more celebrations will be in order.
Today in honour of all the birthdays I am doing a BUY 1 GET 1 FREE offer across my shop. Buy both in the usual way and the cheapest item will be refunded via paypal. This is for TODAY ONLY!!

Go on, have a browse you might find something you like as a gift or something for yourself.

Spring is sprung, the grass is growed,
high time the better weather flowed.
Two days of spring in a row
but can it keep up the flow.
Weather forecast says not yet
but it`s definitely coming, I`ll bet.
The sun comes out and people smile
and they seem to go the extra mile.
When its grey and wet, misery does abound
yet sunshine brings happiness all round.
I know which one I like the best
maybe I should have a weather test!
Spring cleaning now is in the air
hubby cleaned windows in the sun`s glare.
I thought about clearing cupboards out
but the very thought made me pout.
Not just yet, it`s far to soon
too much housework will make me swoon.
I did painting all afternoon instead,
I houseworked while he was still in bed.
No he wasn`t lazing just for fun
tonight he`ll be working when our day is done.
He hasn`t painted for a couple of weeks
not sure if it`s inspiration he seeks.
I expect he`ll do some more in time
whenhe`s done getting rid of winters grime!!

  4. Thank you for showcasing my "Possibilities" canvas, I have to say the picture does not do it justice as the canvas is oblong and they crop it to square.
    I too love "Summer Garden" the best, it is beautiful!
    I have posted a link to your blog on my blog :)
