More on the first page…

2010-05-28T17:33:00.001-05:00

I’ve done a little more on the first page and am l.o.v.i.n.g. it!! I should have said in the last post that I started out gesso-ing some pages. Then I used my watercolor pencils for a wash of color. (Maybe I did mention these two things…) Next, I added some acrylics in 4 sunny shades of yellow – lemon, banana, bright yellow, and sunflower. More gesso… more yellow… then, my favorite new thing, I dropped a single drop of India ink and blew on it through a straw… here’s what I’ve got so far:

I forgot to list who the participants of the round robin are:
Kathy King
Emily Perry
Susie LaFond
Kelley Brown
Cristi Clothier
Ophelia Staton
Carin Wallace
Paula Phillips
Lisa Miller
Ann Malone (of course!)
Elena Nosyreva

Off for more journaling/art!!

Art Journal Round Robin – Journal #1

2010-05-28T11:50:00.001-05:00

When I retrieved my mail after coming home from Vegas, I squealed with delight!

I received my first journal in the Round Robin. Elena’s came all the way from Dallas Texas! :) (I live only an hour away.)

So now that we’ve settled back into our normal routines, I’ve sat down to begin my pages. Last night, I gesso’d a page or two, in prep for some fun.

I’ve started one layer this morning with some watercolor pencils… love the before and after effects! I *must* get some watercolor crayons soon!

I want more layers!!

Happy Easter!

2010-04-04T15:15:00.001-05:00

Hope everyone is enjoying this Glorious Day!

We hope to resume blogging at a more reasonable frequency after the BCAPL National in Vegas… stay tuned!

4 Blogs need 4 new designs…

2010-03-11T07:35:00.001-06:00

All four of these blogs I ~~control~~ have are in need of facelifts…

so does my website. the site is bulky, time consuming, and unproductive…

time for a change!

you have been warned. :)

poor little blog…

2010-02-08T22:52:00.001-06:00

ooohhh… this is my EXTREMELY neglected little blog… ok, repost of what I posted on Tony’s EXTRA neglected blog:

Tony and his dad are off “on the road” playing pool… watch out north-western Texas and southern Oklahoma… not really sure where he’s at right now… actually, I do, but should I warn people *that* much? I think not. :)

Now that the Holidays are gone…

2010-01-06T10:44:00.001-06:00

… time to prepare for Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day.

Got about 6 (yes, *6*) bears to finish up for Valentine’s Day. I also have a “bird” sculpture that I want to replicate (love the one I already made so much, I want to keep it) and put up for auction soon, because…

It’s time to prepare for VEGAS!! With both Tony and I going this year, the entry fees alone are gonna be over $550, if not more. We are driving up this year so that Tony’s dad can go with us. So we need gas money, food money, extra hotel room on the way, as well as the hotel rooms for a week when we get there. (we need 2 rooms, Howard snores and YELLS in his sleep!)

I’ll post the auction links when I get everything ready… probably this weekend!

Almost ready…

2009-10-16T14:50:00.001-05:00

We are getting ready for Halloween! I love this time of year. Our house is almost ready, take a look:

We need more pumpkins… which I’m working on. I am making a few more papier mache pumpkins for decorating the AmVets Post #47 for the annual Kids’ Halloween Party that I am in charge of for the 3rd year…

Katie Bug’s Quilt

2009-09-06T10:08:00.001-05:00

Finally finished Katie’s birthday quilt. It’s a tad larger than a twin, and I pretty much made it “on the fly”. I had sketched out a rough pattern, but the border didn’t “feel” right. So I adjusted while I made it. I wish I had taken more pictures during the process of making it, because I’m thinking of writing out a pattern for sale to go with it. Maybe… maybe not…

Take a look:

Wishcasting Wednesday

2009-09-02T19:55:00.001-05:00

I just love reading everyone’s wishes on wednesday, over at Jamie’s blog. (I also follow her on Twitter, very inspirational)

But I’ve never joined in… here I go!

“What do you wish to begin?”

I wish to begin the book that’s been rolling around my head for 2 decades (plus!)… it’s such a sweet fairtale that I’ve been afraid to write. I’ve never thought it would be good enough. I wish to begin to really WRITE that book!

First wrecking…

2009-08-20T15:05:00.001-05:00

I started my “Wreck This Journal”… I got it in the mail on Monday (8-17-2009) and began on Tuesday during Tony’s chemo treatment…

Oh Happy Day!!!

2009-08-20T11:47:00.001-05:00

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY HAPPY HAPPY JOY!!! Tony is DONE with his chemo treatments!!! (knock wood everyone!) He has to have a catscan next month to make it official, but... unofficially... HE'S DONE WITH CHEMO!!!

Sponsor me by buying a Bear! or 2!

2009-08-19T14:14:00.001-05:00

I’m ready for the next OB Cues Ladies 9-Ball Tour Stop!! It’s in Waco on August 29th & 30th.

To pay for expenses, I have 4 bears up on eBay until Aug 24th. I need some gas money to go from Sherman to Waco and back, then some food and beverage money to get both Tony and I through the weekend. My mother sponsored me by paying for the hotel and donated back to me 2 of the bears up for auction. I would LOVE to pay her back for the hotel, also.

So here they are… follow the links and BUY THEM!!!

I think I’ll take a cue from some wonderful bloggers on my (very long) list of blogs that I follow and actually blog on my progress… maybe… if I remember to…

Re-purposing when you are in a bind…

2009-08-15T15:43:00.001-05:00

What do you do when you wish to try a quilting mofit and you don’t own any “pounce” or you don’t want to try a marking pen (that you *know* doesn’t come out in the wash well…)??

Or…

(Since this is going onto both my studio blog and my pool blog.)

OR, what do you use all that chalk that is just too small to use on your cue or has broken up from weeks of carrying it in your pocket?

Solution:

one sewn up… 5 to go

Here’s a quick preview while a stop a bit for their claws and noses to cool…

Not much to see… but here’s an almost finished head with 5 sets of claws, 5 small noses and one larger nose.

more to come later!!

Autumn and Christmas Busted

2009-08-02T22:41:00.001-05:00

My awesome mother has given me back a couple of bear heads I made last year, which she actually purchased from me. She has donated them back to me to re-sell… these two fellers will be sold to sponsor my upcoming trip to Waco for the next OB Cues Ladies 9-Ball Tour stop.

I haven’t decided whether to put them up on eBay or in my Artfire Shop… Here’s a peek at them while I decide.

Lots of people with HUGE hearts!

2009-07-26T11:37:00.001-05:00

Yes… I posted this on Pool and Chicken… Yes. I posted this on my pool blog, too. I LIKE to cross post. I like to share the same stuff on my blogs. Not everything. Just stuff that means ALOT to me. And to make it semi-related to my bears / art… well… never-mind, I have nothing to connect this post to my bears or art. This just warms my heart.

Yesterday, July 26th, the Eagles (FOE) in Paris, TX hosted a poker run, pool tournament, and auction to help offset medical bills and such for Tony’s father, Howard. The day looked like it started off slow because the pool players were the few people that were there early in the morning. Most of us drove in from Sherman. Well, there was a poker run. Where were all the people? On the poker run. duh.

The day was a GREAT success, Howard was tickled to death to see all his family and friends gather in his honor and to support him. The total for the day was over 6 grand.

We had 17 paid entries in the pool tournament, one was a “ghost player”, a person just wanted to donate the entry. I went 2 and out after drawing Doug Winnett as my opening match. I made 3 shots the whole match. And when I say I “made” 3 shots, I mean I made contact with the cue ball only 3 times. oh well. It was Doug and he was (and has been) playing really really great lately.

My second match, I should have won. But, as usual, somewhere right after I got into position to win, I just lost it. again. oh well. It was fun!

I then found out they were giving trophies for first and second. That’s one thing I’ve been telling Tony that I really wish I could do. Win a trophy. Guess who won first and second?

buy my quilts!!

2009-07-22T13:13:00.001-05:00

2009-07-20T21:22:00.001-05:00

I actually finished 3 quilt projects that have been haunting me for a month or so… here’s a peek of 2 of them before I find and/or take better pictures, then crop and pretty them up:

walking through stuff…

2009-07-15T07:40:00.001-05:00

so I was looking through my random pictures I’ve taken and came across more than a few pictures of feet. I decided to post a few, just because I can…

here’s how we eat pizza:

of course the littlest monkey is a camera hog:

here we are on the way to a tournament (with my new camera):

here we are watching the all-star game last night:

had to get Tony a snack:

2009-07-09T17:42:00.001-05:00

just doodling away today… chemo-boy is feeling pretty good, but very very tired. so he’s sleeping alot. so I grabbed my middle monkey’s oil pastels, my watercolor paper and a sharpie then tried to think of nothing. here’s what came out (so far):

wanted to take pictures instead of scanning this time… so I also tried playing with depth (not sure how well I did, you tell me):

THEN… when I decided to load my camera pics to the computer, I found a cool one that one of the monkeys took the other day. not sure which one took it, I think the littlest one did. love me some sun flowers!

2009-06-12T12:22:00.001-05:00

I have many many many UFO's right now and they are getting out of hand. Most creative minds that have UFOs usually have a single category of them, not me. Let’s see what I’ve got and mark them off as I finish:

~~Quilted leaf –themed wall hanging~~ done!
a giraffe, an artist bear friend
4 more fall inspired wall hangings
ACEOs
altered bookmarks
messages in bottles (very cool when I finally finish them)
knitted hat
designing a celtic quilt
an altered book to pass-a-long

Not as bad as I thought, half of the list are more than half finished. Let’s see if I can finish some of these before July!

I finally finished my little cotton thread bear. He was fighting and fighting what he wanted to be. I need to get my hands on a good camera for some good shots, until then, I have an ugly crappy cell-phone pic or two to share. Haven’t named him yet, because he won’t tell me his name…

Posting on all 3 of my blogs...

2009-03-01T00:55:00.000-06:00

In the early morning of Jan. 31, 2009, I was preparing to head to Rusty's in Arlington, TX for the first stop of the OB Cues Ladies' 9-Ball Tour. Tony got up and wasn't feeling well. He asked me to take him to see the doctor instead of playing, so I did. The doctor thought he had a urinary tract infection and gave him a shot and prescription, then sent him on his way. Sunday morning he passed a "thing", so we froze it and went back to the doctor on Monday.

"What is that?" is exactly what the doctor said.

He ordered 2 CAT scans for that Thursday, by Friday morning early he called and told us to get him to the Cancer Center IMMEDIATELY.

Tony has very agressive colon cancer. This past month has been a flurry of doctors, hospitals and a shitload of just waiting for news. He had a colon-oscopy on Wednesday the 11th of February... I'm not even going to try to spell things right. The news was very bad... however, Thursday morning they scoped his bladder (through the penis, he's very cranky about that...) and the news was better. Although they thought the tumor is very large (the GI guy told me it was the largest tumor he's ever seen), the tumor was "mobile", which means it hadn't attached to anything other than the bladder (from the colon).

So the "inoppera-able" tumor became "opera-able". On Feb. 16th, a tumor the size of a grapefruit was removed from Tony's colon and bladder. They had to remove 14 inches of his colon, which was far less than they orginally thought they needed to take. But they had to remove 2/3rds of his bladder, which was not expected. They thought it as only a small hole in the bladder. The best news, however, was that they think they have removed it all.

After his bladder and colon heal up, he will start chemo for a duration of about 6 months. They said it was Stage IV, which means it is not a question of "if" it recurs, but "when"... he will have to monitor this for the rest of his life.

Tony finally was allowed to leave the hospital on Feb. 23rd. And is grumpy as hell waiting for the "OK" to eat solid foods again.

Christmas Busted

Christmas is coming up FAST!! I've got a piece in the making for the upcoming TOBYs and I need to make a few bears for Christmas money.

In the works right now, besides the contest piece, is the second in my "Busted" line. Just like "Autumn Busted", "Christmas Busted" is a decorated bear head on a stand. Pics soon to come.

Yippee!!

2008-10-21T00:42:00.003-05:00

Awesome!! I've got both this blog and my new pool blog up with new themes... and they match! But are different. I just need to add a few more widgets to both, but first... I'm gonna spend a few hours moving 24 pool related posts from this blog over to the new one.

such fun...

First, I don't know what's up with my SUSE and blogger... both Firefox and Konqueror seems to like to crash when I try to post. So here I am, on my daddy's machine. :)

OK... So the weekend at Rusty's in Arlington for the OB Cues Ladies Tour Stop was a blast!!

I won my first match against another new member, Melissa Davis. If you follow that link, I'm the lightnin' fast blur she's playing against in the picture. :)

I lost my second match to Ashley Nandrasy... she was so much fun and just the cutest little thing.

I then lost my third and final match to Robbie Daughtery... I played some of the best pool I have played in a long time against her. Such a neat person to meet and play!

I will definately have to go play again next year on a few stops, hopefully do better and work my way up to playing the full season one year.

Those ladies rock!!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya'...

OK!! Tomorrow is the OB Cues Ladies Tour Stop at Rusty's in Arlington, Texas!! This will be my first ladies tour stop that I've played in... The Memphis Viking Tour was for both men and women. This stop is ladies only and is a regional tour for the WPBA. Spiffy!!

I'm not "ready" to compete with these awesome ladies, but I'm READY to compete with these awesome ladies!! Gotta start somewhere! And as Mr. Squarepants says: I'm READY! I'm READY! I'm READY!

So early tomorrow morning, Miss Jerri will be picking me up... why must 6 am come so early? She'll be driving us down to Rusty's and hopefully we'll be there early enough to get some practice in. I'll need it. Until then, I've got to get my hair cut and practice a bit up at Luke's... and be singing...

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya', Tomorrow... you're always a day a way!!

getting my daily boing boing fix...

2008-09-25T22:38:00.004-05:00

Checking out my daily dose of Boing Boing, I was stupified at the "McHorror" article. I like to take my kids to fast food places about once a month. Once a month is about all I (read: Tony) can afford... delivery pizza is about once every 2 months. HOWEVER, after reading this, I may cut all but the pizza out! (we just got a new little ceasers and with pepperoni pizza only $6, ya' can't beat that!)

Ok. Fixin'ta move around my layout and I hope most widgets stay where they are without much fuss... I just can't let it "sit" too long, need to keep changing!

EDIT:
WOW!!!! I shoulda tweaked that before uploading!! I've got some work to do!
