I totally agree - life is too short to plug away at something if it gives you no joy. I don't feel guilty anymore. And you may find that later the time is right and you actually WANT to do lots of the bamboo paintings and then you will. For example - after 6 lessons I put my accordion away. All that practising - it just wasn't working for me. A week ago (a year and a half later) I took my accordion out again. Suddenly I want to practise my scales. Over and over. It is weird ...Anairamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626269831496499230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-36524367502126661202010-01-24T12:04:49.986-07:002010-01-24T12:04:49.986-07:00what beautiful painting!

Then I thought about it landing on my head and pooping on me. Huh! <br /><br />The paper towel art work is fantastic, having a dinner party with those as napkins, can you imagine, no one would make a mess, they'd probably lick their fingers if they had too and they'd get to take their napkin home and well if it were me, I'd frame it and hang it on my wall.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031240651794502890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-36470532615669384132010-01-22T16:28:38.136-07:002010-01-22T16:28:38.136-07:00Great collection of quotes to keep you going.

You shine at your own style and your header is amazing! I see no room for improvement in your work. Black and white and shades of grey - ok but a little goes a lonnnnggg way.

I hate crochet, knitting and cross stitch for the same reason. GAH! Weaving a basket has so much more potential.<br /><br />So you painted the header on your blog? It's gorgeous! The clouds are perfect.<br /><br />Yes, I love raisins, and no, I haven't taken time to bake another carrot cake this week. The week snowballed on me and I totally forgot.
