Still......

around....some friends have been asking where I have been and when am I going to produce new work. WELL as you can see from my last post my life has been a BiG mess to say the least. We had a lot of loss last year and are still trying to cope with all the grief. On top of all that my HoNey has been sick and he has no insurance so we can't have any tests done so we are trying to cope with that and then we had to move. Which has its ups and downs....one up side is its twice as big so we have more room which is awesome. down side is it needs a lot of work mostly on the inside. I also had to(well chose to) give up my studio because my 17yr old nephew came to live with us so I am without a studio at this point. I am going to use my closet in the bedroom as a temp. spot. Then in the spring we are going to convert the AtTiC into my studio which is huge so I can't wait!!! I MISS NOT BEING ABLE TO CREATE!!!!! so please bare with me!!!!!

HaLLowEeN already!!!!!

It has been a very long time since I have updated my blog. This has been a very "trying" year. We lost both parents....Mom passed in February, and Dad passed in May. My fiance had to quit his job to take care of them. His own health has suffered because of the stress he went through to take care of both of them by himself without any help from family.We did it on our own. He was just in the hospital for 3 days, with chest pains. He is now applying for disability because he is unable to work. Because of this we have to move. I am not happy about this because it is in a town 90min. from here. My nephew also came to live with us which meant I had to give up my studio so he could have a bedroom. BUT there have been some joys also in our life. My daughter Kaitlyn gave us a beautiful grand-daughter in August, Annabelle Angel Korene Patsy. She had a beautiful baby shower in June. Also my step-daughter Cortney got married Sept. 24. It was a beautiful beach ceremony. So this year has been alot of ups and downs. Sooooooo......I have not had much time or ambition to paint and create like I want. I am working on a piece right now though. As soon as we move and get settled I will concentrate more on my blog and art. One good thing about moving is I will have my own studio space outside of the house. I cant wait to start decorating my new studio. So please hang in there and dont forget about me.

long time...

I know its been a VERY long time since I posted but I have been going through some physical issues that have kept me out of the studio for a long time and I was also feeling a bit discouraged. I know alot of you artits out there know exactly how I feel. I am feeling better and have been creating some new stuff and will post them as soon as they are finished.

Happy New Year....

Thanks Chris and Anne for all the words of encouragement!!! They mean alot to me. I have to revamp a bunch os stuff and get back into my art. Right now we are moving Skips mother from her apt. into storage and she will be in a nursing home. It is the same one dad is at so maybe we can start to get back to our lives. Just waiting for some of this stress goes away so I can focus more on my art......we will see what happens.

thinking....

about throwing in the towel. I'm not getting any response on my art on my blog, ebay or facebook!!! Really dont know what to do anymore. Just very discouraging. I just posted 7 items on ebay and the highest look I got was 24. I just dont get it. I've asked for advice and encouragment and I am just not getting any. Just very tired!!!

not much time.....http://shop.ebay.com/codys_keepsakes/m.html
