In the Studio -Sneak peek

I will start off with my knitting projects

since that has mostly what I have been grabbing when I have free Time.

Its rarer than it was a few years ago.

We knew it would be this way

I am certainly not complaining!

Ive also been working on knitting this baby sweater.

Remember it from last week?

Its looking pretty sweet.

I pulled out this painting I started the first week of July

got the rest of it done.

I knew it wouldnt take long but getting her little hand just right made me nervous.

Plus I knew the stars wouldnt be detailed.

I am hoping that someone looking at it gets the gist

and that it doesnt seem like a half way done job.

Hear the inner critic??? sigh.

I am pleased with it.

Both oldest daughter and son liked the yellow gold fireworks.

This is a painting I started several years ago,

tried getting it done before we went to Ecuador

I am pulling it out again to really get it done.

I have done several of these watercolor paintings like Kaleidoscopes.

I have a leaf one, donated a leaf one in different hues to an Ecuador Mission Team auction,

did a hydrangea one for myself and my daughter,

and another for a friend. It had sweet peas and Peonys.

This one will go in my home and I will put a bible verse around it like the others.

I would like to eventually hang them together in my home like a series.

The shells look real close up

it takes me hundreds of hours to complete each painting as a result.

Last but not least.

I wanted to share this one too....

I will have it done by next Fridays sneak peak.

(Im saying this to give myself a goal to shoot for!)

Its Water with reeds and leaves floating on the water.

I love the colors in the photograph and like how its turning out.

We got oldest daughter completely moved last night.

her Ex husband was there

it was so so good to see him and exchange hugs.

She has been applying for teaching jobs

and had her first interview on Wednesday.

and another scheduled for this upcoming Wednesday.

Praying for a job.

One more week of summer before we start homeschooling.

Son is signed up for dual enrollment class.

Going to sign little one up for a dance class.....

Looking forward to Fall......

Under His wings,

Anna
