It’s been a heavy few days. Tonight I sketched for the first time since last Wednesday. I hope you enjoy my nautical flags. I want to start doing nautical initial/monogram paintings for people…what do you think?

Ash Wednesday–the deprivation begins…
Lent Day 1: No Diet Coke (no soda at all)…no red meat…no shopping for myself. Yes, I said it…no shopping for myself. OMG! How will I go without shopping for myself? This is going to be hard! So far so good—I have had cravings for my fave soda—but have stayed strong. I think the wine…
Mardi Gras
I’ve never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. …but every year I do wear some purple, green and yellow. Here is my ensemble for this year. The day was busy with work, and then after that I went with the family to St. Philip’s for the annual Pancake Dinner and Jazz service. It was…
Art Festivals in the Grove
This weekend was the big Arts Festival weekend in Coconut Grove.I thought I would take you on a mini-tour of my favorite booths starting at the St. Stephen’s Arts Festival and then moving into the Coconut Grove Arts Festival. This blue framed beauty (exceptionally priced) is from, Bailey Jack . Bailey was such a nice…
Lovely Weekend
I adore Valentine’s Day. I think it’s all the pink, red, hearts and chocolate. However, I’ve never done anything cliche on Valentine’s Day (ok, one thing but I can’t write about it here)…the dinners out, the flowers…never done that. What I have done…wear lots of red and pink, get chocolate for friends…and those great little…
OLYMPICS!!
I love the Olympics. There’s nothing like them…and every 2 years for 14 days, I am a happy girl! Tonight I stayed home (since I’m not feeling 100%) and watched the opening ceremonies. It was great, we ordered food and had a comical play by play. I have to say I wasn’t that impressed with…
Subha’s Pie
So a few months ago– I did a give-away. The holidays and life got in the way of my finishing it. I started it up a couple of days ago—and here is the progress on Subha’s Pie. It should be done before the weekend is over. Subha, by the way, has been a friend since…
The germs got me…
The germs finally got me. First they hit D, then my mom, then the entire archival department at the museum…and then someone in my department…and now me. I thought it was allergies, but then I got clammy at my desk…then head achy…then I was really hot. Needless to say I’m not wearing my sketch anymore..no…
What I Wore on 9.02.10
So did you notice today’s date? Well, if you write your dates “a la euro” then today’s date was 9.02.10! 90210! Ja Ja! Anyhow–it was a busy day at work and after work at the annual voting meeting at Junior League. It was nice to see friends and even family. My sister-in-law in particular which…
Monday Monday
Monday, Monday. I thought that I would post a painting I did of my wish bracelet. I wear it everyday…because it can’t come off. If it does—then my 3 wishes won’t come true…and they are REALLY good wishes…so guess what…this baby is not coming off til it falls off. Here is also my look for…
