Cant believe it has been over a month since I posted last, time sure goes fast when you have a ton of things to do... After we got back from vacation, I went back to work, but the work was short lived as the stores closed its doors for good and I ended up with a whole month left of summer time and kids home from school. So I packed the car and the kids in the car and we took of to enjoy more of summer, swimming, camping and touring the country sides of Prince Edward County (one of our favourite places to go too). Didn't get much time to draw or paint, but I took a ton of pictures so I have tons of inspiration for the fall and winter months to come.I did however, get this painting done (a small 6" x12", acrylic) and I made some mail art for my dear friend who just moved to UK.
After the kids and I got back in town, we have been busy with clearing some things out (kind of pre-winter clean up), I moved things around my studio, touring our own town (galleries, markets and parks) and we have done gardening (who knew weeds can grow that fast). Then my dear daughter Lindsay was able to go to a fun week long summer camp, she had a blast (I got to sleep in : ) but the camp ended for her with a bang... She had a bit of a diving accident (she likes to put her head in water and blow bubbles), she hit her face on a rock and it cut her left side of her nose really bad. So to urgent care, then children's hospital, one plastic surgeon, 5 stitches and a lot of glue her nose is back together again and now we have to wait and see if she needs more surgery (we were so lucky it was nothing worse. She is doing really well (autistic people for some reason don't feel pain like most, personally I would have been on the floor kicking and screaming with a cut like that). And she has been busy with keeping me on my toes (we have to make sure she's not picking at it or pulling the stitches out)...
Two days after I found her upstairs with packing tape on her nose *Aughhhhhhhhhh!!!!*. Took me a while, but I was able to get it off with out doing any damage. Then once she got caught in a zipper, so needless to say I'm in severe need for cider therapy.
One week left and then (Oh yes!!! cant wait) the kids go back to school... Then its back to painting, drawing, napping, sketching and creating. And then I can post again more, cant wait to get back to swing of things.
I really hope everyone has had a wonderful summer, and to all my dear blogger friends down south of us and here at home, I hope you were able to stay safe from hurricane Irene. My thoughts are with everyone who was affected by this storm.
