I Only Paint When It Snows

The past few weeks have consisted of two full days of just snow. It was fun at the beginning, then just became a nuisance. SO instead of vegging out, I decided to pretend I was a painter.

A bunch of months ago, my friend Lisa gave me this half painting. Someone else had given it to her, and knowing my love for The Beatles (specifically Paul McCartney) she gave to me. I am no painter, but I can color! Thanks to my roommates for the paints and color suggestions!

It looks way cooler in person! what did you do with YOUR snow days?

Cross Stitch

So I've been crazy obsessed with cross stitching. yes, I'm 80. But I have to keep my hands busy and I like to create. Or else I go crazy. I made this particular cross stitch for my roomate, Rachel LeeAnn Schwartz. She had brain surgery last year. They are having an art show/silent auction to raise money for her tomorrow at the Art Church. I told Rachel that I wasn't a painter, but that I would make a cross stitch!
So she told me to make one with this quote she wrote:


Words are another one of my favorite forms of art.
