Hit the Two Month Mark

Things are looking up in the healing process

It’s nice to be able to drive

Walking is very important to me and I miss not being able to walk more and I know the time will come

My husband has been amazing cooking dinner every night

Yep, gained 5 pounds during this process. Yay for Haagen Das Ice Cream bars

8 times a charm. But, it’s still hard to learn how to walk again 

Dinner date with my honey

Friends and family make the world go round

Had to share this sweet trailer clock that my SIL gave to me for my birthday 

Went back to my personal trainer to strengthen my leg



I was bored, and now I am not. Got a good book to read

My once a week coffee stop in Old Towne Orange. Portola Coffee

Pages from my Sketchbook

Branching out with some other artwork now that I am stronger 

My ride is a walker, until I move to a cane 

Things are moving along, now that I am 5 weeks out

Some fun drawings of some of my favorite things in the Broadway room and the family room

I went to visit my studio and the clouds were so beautiful. The calm before the storm

Changes...



Goo news at the doctors office. I can put weight on my foot!

Now, I am walking with my walker to get my stamina back!

It’s those small things, that are really big things! 

A collaboration between my friend Barbara Wyman, who was like a second mother to me. At her memorial service, there was a list of the words she lived by, and this one about listening always stuck with me

Spending my afternoons drawing and painting

For the past six weeks, I have been working half days to heal my recently dislocated hip. Since I am not the kinda person who is good at relaxing and laying on the couch, I decided to draw and paint in my Moleskine Watercolor Notebook about every afternoon. I was sitting and relaxing,  sort of like having quiet time. 

A patchwork house 

Havel’s Sewing tools. I just love their products 

Our words can light the darkness. Maybe we can bring our country together with kindness

My hands and the stories they can tell

A contemporary house

A grid drawing the painting, following the straight lines with overlap. I am liking this series and plan to explore more grid patterns using this method 

Another grid with different shapes. I love the look of this one


And then filling the painting in with ink (Sharpie Ultra Fine Point). This reminds me of some of my fabric designs.  Please do not copy my work in the post. All rights reserved.
