Nest Feathers and Twine - Formally Artist's Block Studio

The things that make a house a home and the stuff that holds is all together.

Years ago I started this blog with a mindset and goals that I have found have changed direction over time. I am excited to say that this blog has a new name.....Nest Feathers and Twine. I hope you come by and visit often. Feel free to get comfortable and kick off your shoes and join me on this journey of metamorphosis.

someday i am actually going to miss this! ha! geez! add in a daughter with att-it-tude and what a fun house this is! i am very lucky because i have really sweet wonderful kids, or so i keep telling my self! i do really. really i do..........yup, i do........

so anyway, the youngest goes back to school this week, the other two have almost a month.......then 3 weeks after they go back the youngest is already on cycle break........ughhhhhhhhhhh!

ok, so i am looking forward to some me time, can ya tell!

well, i have had lots of stuff going on this summer....trying to get a 'business' going selling my art, jewelry, etc and a joint venture with a really good friend, trying to fit in housework, artwork, exercise, yardwork, yadda yadda yadda, oh yeah, and a little sleep here and there. we have had some pretty annoying computer problems for almost 2 months.....partially thanks to my oldest sons friend who came over and spent the night and without our permission made himself at home on our computer and we ended up with a virus. the kid was strange, i really don't like most other peoples kids! it blows my mind at their bad manners, if they have any at all!

we were given an english bulldog....free......but is anything ever really free!? ha! she was 11 months old, we have had her for a month.....omg what a riot she is! you ought to hear her version of howling.........and of course like every other animal in this house she brought with her 'issues' and health problems....but she is so funny! pictures coming soon.........i have not yet scanned anything or uploaded any photos from this computer yet! i may wait until will and denise come over again and will can be here in case i make the computer smoke and burn! i have learned how to burn cd's, and will installed a dvd player so now i can watch movies on my computer in my studio while i art........ohhhhhh i love it! my honey got me surround sound speakers!

i am trying to get us all back on a normal people schedule. i hate this! i actually have ancestors that came from transylvania, so i joke that i am part vampire......ha ha ha ha ha.....just the sleep during the day live by night part.....not the grody suck-your-blood part.....ewwww, totally! the kids and i all seem to function better and feel better during the evening so during summer months we stay up until the wee hours of the morn' and sleep late, well, they do at least. i get up and enjoy the peace and quiet!

well, i have tons more to say, but i can hardly keep my eyes open....a couple hours in the pool with 3 kids can poop you out! tonight we swam until 10 pm! i hate coming in to the air conditioning soaking wet.....i am getting to old for this! my hubby and i still need to fit in our annual nakey swimming.....can't call it skinny dipping cause their aint nothin' skinny about it, but we have done it every year.....the kids found out about it this year and it grossed them out! oh, i love it..........and i am rambling again......i can never just say see ya later and shut up! so, anyway just wanted to say hi, and will post pics of all the neat art i have done over the last couple of months in the next couple of days or so! i am going to blog surf, i have not done that in a couple of months..........okay i am shutting up now......ok now.......now i am for real.........
