I have spent time this week getting caught up on the different challenges that I am doing this year.  I have two,  the Fimo Clay Challenge and the Photography Challenge, ( Dogwood 52 Photography challenge)  I always seem to be a bit behind,  but really I just never get around to posting the photos for the challenge.

I have also worked on getting some paintings done for the first time in a while.  I am happy with the way they have turned out. especially since I was using a pallet knife  for the first time.  I am feeling a bit more confident using one,  so now onward to bigger and better painting.

I am also involved in doing the Teal Swap on FB.  My quilt for my partner should be done this week. and sent out to her.  I really enjoy doing this swap, which is for Ovarian Cancer.

I am also finishing cleaning up both the craft room and the studio.  I should have that all done this week and be better able to want to do some work.

Well,   that’s all the news from the south,
Happy” farming” to all the farm girl sisters out there.
See you next time down on the farm.
