Fancy fruit pie I made

Almost looks like the picture in the magazine. It was yummy and surprisingly very easy to make with store bought puff pastry. 

Turned around again...

Grandma Sue and I were painting the fence. I set the kids up with some paint and an easel in the garden to keep them occupied. I turned around to paint the fence and those little rascals got up to some painting of their own... body painting that is.

I filled a tub with water and this occupied them for awhile with clean up.

Fence looks great though. Yeah Grandma Sue!!!!!

kids!!!**##@@!

So we're having dinner and my daughter announces "This is not my idea of a cheese sauce." Pardonné moi?!  

Then later... "I am not getting in the bath" Why? "It is too wet".

Looking forward to the quiet house when everyone is asleep tonight.

At least I had a few minutes to read...

Seemed harmless. Kiddies playing in the garden. I was reading a magazine I took out of the library. Then I looked up... 

Love craigslist.

Posted the gas stove from the basement suite we are redoing. Tried to sell it for $100 then $75 then just listed it for "free". Got a call 5 minutes after the post (no kidding!!) and it was gone the next day by 2 pm. 

The funny thing is that someone offered to take it to the dump for $150 this past weekend. I guess they had a truck and saw it in our alley. That was a bit strange. 

Pics from art class

A value scale exercise. I painted 4 of the squares with black and white then photocopied the rest. This would make great wall paper! It is my dog, Lucky, at the park

All the value scale exercises

up on the wall. 

 Using tons of painting techniques.
This what the canvas looked like at the half way mark. We learned a photo transfer technique.

Third art class over

Into the home stretch now as I just completed my third art class today and there are only six. Bruce is watching the kiddies. He has taken them somewhere in the stroller as I have arrived home and they are no where to be found. Thought about calling them but then I'd never get to post.

It has been a few days without posts as we were in Edmonton visiting family.

We learnt some cool techniques in class today for doing abstract paintings.

Plus, downloading a pic from a black and white exercise we did. I didn't paint this all. Some are photocopies. Can you imagine wallpapering your bedroom in this?
