January chalkboard . . . by avery rose

 

paint and doodles . . .

 We made a little more progress . . . primer on the front fence and the roof is started.

I have a lot of painting still to do . . . but I am happy to have it started. 

Avery loves to paint . . . I have a bunch of small canvases and lately she wants to use them.

She paints with the freedom of a child. 

 I love watching her . . . and I love how everyone of her paintings turns out.  (It's a grandma thing.)

 I decided to do something with her latest painting . . . just for fun.

Avery's painting and Amma's calendar doodles.  

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world

around you because the greatest secrets are always

hidden in the most unlikely places.  Those who

don't believe in magic will never find it."

work or play?

The grandkids need a playhouse/fort and "Ampa" has time to build one. 

It has been a fun project so far.

good things today . . .

Richard made this shelf to hold the kid's are work for me and we got it hung up today.

There are some definite perks to this working at home.  I have been busy with work all day, but

it is nice to be able to get some things done at home also.

These painting are by Charlotte, Lily and Avery and were done a few months ago.

  I am excited to finally have them displayed.  

I liked this idea better than hanging them . . . so I can change them whenever they create 

something new . . . and also not having to put a lot of nail holes in my wall.

GOOD THINGS TODAY . . .
