what have I been up to lately?

Not that anyone is asking ;)... but... I have been painting again!  I go in spurts with it.  I'll paint for a while, then I have to take a break and do something else for a while.  Then I come back and paint some more.  So here's what I've been working on lately... aside from the Valentines (which are almost ready to put in the shop):

a robot

a train set

and some tiny, mini paintings of

kitchen appliances

These ones match some of my valentines.  I enjoy small kitchen appliances.  So they are all works-in-progress and will all hopefully be finished in the very near future.

But...

I've also been feeding my addiction to paper.  This is what I've been doing in the painting-off times:

gift tags

I know... it's weird.  I truly have an addiction to paper.  So.... I'm opening up a second Etsy shop in hopes of feeding my paper addiction.  More news on that later.

 Well it's dinner time now.  But before I go, just want to say thanks to everyone who reads my silly blog.
