Its been so much going on here this past month, that I have had very little time to blog or draw for fun {drawing for me and for my therapy}... Same thing was for my "other therapy" {things to do to relax and stay out of trouble} like sewing, crafting, decorating, reading and even cleaning the house.
But now, finally done with all the art shows, arts & craft sales and book fairs. I can finally breath and start doing things for the pure enjoyment and relaxation... So need it!!!
This how my booth or table looked like at my last arts & craft sale, I had my book there that illustrated, small simple paintings and some small crafts (including the tags and banners I have worked on)... This show was good, sold the painting in the far back {the birds looking at the birdhouses} and the small once up front and "Margarine Fields" {not in this picture, but you can see it in my last post}.So now that's over and now I'm in between cleaning and decorating, yes getting ready for December {got so inspired by some blogs I saw last night, all with wonderful Scandinavian white on white decorations}. And with pure luck {when I was looking for something else} I found the little German Advent & tree candles. So Last night I put together our Advent display for the table, cant believe its going to be first Advent already.
And I'm not sure if you noticed the picture on top, the Paper whites? They are already blooming {too soon} I followed the gardeners suggestion when to plant them so they will bloom for Christmas, and here they are end of November. But that's not too bad, because I learned the hard way, that these very pretty flowers are super stinky {how can something so pretty stink like that??} I walked in one day after work and I looked at Charlie, he back at me with this look on his face "Oh dont you blame for this one" and "who could you leave me home alone, and with those things"... Poor guy, and Im so happy he's a good boy and does his business outside.
So ton of phone calls later, I finally found a florist that will have Hyacinths ready too bloom for Christmas {will get them mid Dec} and my complete traditional Scandinavian feel for this Christmas will be saved and not stinky : )
Now on to drawing for me!!! Will post again soon, and until then I wish all of you south of me, the very best Happy Thanks Giving Holiday and happy weekend to the rest of you all around the world : )
