It works!!!

Finally got it working, but it took me many hours of me telling the computer "not so nice words", freaking out and yes, even crying to Mr B about my problem with the pictures...
Ended with him looking at it for a second and clicking a few times and boom, there they were.
Me so happy!!! Thank you baby!


Any hoo, the story about "what have I been up too" since my last post and Christmas holidays. I have been painting a few pieces that I'm going to enter to a jury show {will post them after} and I have been doing a few small things, didn't spend much time in my studio so far {that will change very soon}. But I have been doing a lot of just doodling, sketching and just a little bit of water colour... And I have worked a bit with mixed media.

These two sketches I did in a small sketch book, not sure if I like the paper or not. First one {with the flower} is a hyacinth we have in our living room and it smells heavenly, and I drew it while watching tv, I don't like the text {means spring in Swedish} so I'm going to take it out.
And the one below is a sketch of a old metal scoop that we have at work {yes, it was very quiet day in the store so I drew this}.


And this thing below here, is something I'm working on in stages {when I have time}. Last fall I made the nest part out of scrap fabrics, antique lace and buttons, sewed it all together... And now I finally got around to it and started on the tree part of it, using all kinds of found objects to make it {even has a chop stick in it}. I'm making this for my friend, and its about spring {thinking about putting a small tag on it saying "spring is just around the bend", tell you more about it later}.

Sorry for the poor picture quality, so for your own good you're better of viewing it this way and not bigger... Save your eyes! And yes, its a small bird at the bottom of the tree, so you're not seeing things.
So that's it, well, parts of it and I will post again soon... After this weekend I can post the work I'm doing for the show, lets see if any will be accepted for the show. here is too computer smart husbands and beautiful winter snow days {first picture on top is from our garden I took today}.

Cheers,

Mari
