August

The video is a practice video I made with Final Cut Pro, it depicts my paintings and my husbands song 'Kimberlee' which he gave me for Christmas a few years ago.

August already, I just found a painting muse and it will probably take me five more days to begin. Well, my new muse will be my first canvas painting since I've been taking chemotherapy. My Doctor said to keep painting. I can't think of anything I'd rather do.
Crafting and jewelry has slowed down for a slight pause while I oversee a new canning business. 

 It's sad to realize there are only 20-25 days left of swimming. 

Summer is going away for a while and when I'm missing the days of swimming I will fall in love with color, that will tide me over to the next time I can dip my feet into the light blue water of the pool!!

Pimitive Folk Art Windows

EEEEKKKK, My son in laws(Bill) brother (Steve) tore down a house and got these windows. 

Bill got a few of the windows from him to give to me and I 

finally can do a little creative project to get my mind off of winter cabin fever and the woes and cares of stuff. 

The concept, make stuff to get your mind off of stuff, it's the old adage 'fight fire with fire' . 

So the window is a very primitive folk art piece of a airplane for the baby's bedroom, it's not the most complicated thing and it's rather whimsical with warm tones. It has hooks to hang it and  should make the room pretty country boy looking.

 

 

I have two more to do, the second will be for a little girl, the third another little boy!

Since I'm getting back into the swing of things after cancer treatment I expect the next two to be a little better then the first. If you want a primitive window for your childs nursery contact me at kim@creativehandyworks.com or via this blog.

PS.Tonight when Bill brought me another window he brought flowers too, isn't that sweet! What a great guy I have for a son.
