It's that THYME of year again
when things can get pretty BUSY
in the
STUDIO!
Because
TO MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN!
Because
it's
THYME
Step inside
and
I'll show you some of the pieces that I am working on
I'm working on lots of ornaments!
This is a wonderful
SANTA
design by Pam Grady
that I'm painting on MORE ornaments!
This is a design called
Rolling Out the Cookie Dough
by
Prudy Vannier
It's a REAL favorite of mine!
NOW
You might be wondering where my ELF
HINKLEY
has been?
He arrived
EARLY
this year so I was hopeful that we would not fall behind on preparations to
MAKE THE MAGIC
happen for Christmas
HINKLEY
was made by the
MASTER ELF MAKER
BRENDA
at
I had requested an Elf that could help me
in the
STUDIO
to
sand & base coat pieces, type patterns, and some "light assembly work"
well....
he can't
TYPE
This
ELF
also needed to be able to help with all the other
usual Christmas preparations
such as wrapping, decorating , baking etc.
Every thyme I take out the
KITCHENAID
he tells me to
BEAT IT
because
it's THYME for his SPINNING workout......sigh
BEFORE
the Elves leave Brenda's workshop
they must attend
ELF CLASSES
We all know how much I love to paint, design and create....
I've even had the PRIVLEDGE to MEET and PAINT
with some
REAL BIG BRUSHES
(ARTISTS/DESIGNERS)
who always inspire me
to
PAINT OUTSIDE THE LINES
I've shared so many painting stories with
HINKLEY
during our thymes in the
STUDIO
But a PAINTER he is not!
Nor does he even try to be.......when I try to teach
him....he says that I don't need any more
BIG BRUSHES
in the STUDIO.... I have enough!
Well.... it looks like I shall be heading back to my painting table
ALONE
I wasn't expecting him to become a
BIG BRUSH
but
a little help with base coating would be appreciated!
WELL
I am just going to
Keep those brushes flying!
Happy Painting !

Hi, Lynn! I am happy to see that you are once again busy! I am also glad you have a helper in Hinkley! My elf Edgar has also been helping me organize and get some things done here. I told him to brace himself for the busy months ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your awesome work and seeing you back to painting. Your studio is beautiful and looks to be a wonderful place to create and reflect. Hopefully, one day Edgar and I can come and see you in person. I would truly love that! Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration to us and to so many others as well. :) xoxox
I just love reading your stories. That little elf better get himself together or he's gonna have company lol. Thanks for you creative spirit that you share with us on a continuous basis. Love it!
