Hump day Happiness

K Hutchinson

I want to scream from the roof tops… “I did it” …”I did it”!  You are wondering what the heck I am talking about. I finished my AJ-102 that I started at the end of February beginning of March! The book has been an amazing journey! I have learned so much about myself and had a blast doing it!

I am so bugged

K Hutchinson

Happy Hump day 🙂 The weather here has been really something. Most of our days have been gray and/or rainning! Yesterday it was sunny so I got the lawn mowed! We are suppose to see more sunshine not until the weekend! UGH! Not sure I will make it that long!

Family life has keep me really busy lately! Trying to figure out what Sam can and can’t eat is a challenge. Knowing that if I screw up and let him have something that has CMP (cow’s milk protein) in it he was be in lots of pain and sick! Plus, we are getting ready for a yard sale and I am doing major cleaning to de-cluttered and get ready for that!

So, I have had little time in my studio! But to relieve a little stress, I did work in my Art Journal 102. I am getting giddy with excitement since now I am down to two pages until I can bind my book!

Do you see it???

K Hutchinson

We have been very busy around the house doing things with Mr. Ink on vacation! Finally all the yard work is done.  Today, when I got up to let Toby out I saw a sign that it was a day to get a little work done in my Art Journal. It was lines in the sky (Julie sees these all the time) . Since, my body is old and all that yard work did me in yesterday, I did not run back into the house to get a photo. I did use a photo of the sky I had taken a while ago.

It felt great today to kick back and get paint on my face and in my hair! Have not done it about 2 weeks!

How do you know when Spring is here? For me, it is this pair of ducks that walk though my backyard each year!

They so look like they are talking to each other! te he he!

Today was an exciting day at Casa Ink- The school the inkspot goes to is celebrating 50 years! Mr. Ink was a student there for the 25th celebration! It was lots of fun and we got home before the rain! Yah!

Chinese proverb

K Hutchinson

This week the theme at Mixed Media Monday is Oriental.

As I am continuing to work in my Art Journal, I thought I would use a Chinese proverb for my page.

mmm1

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

Things are finally getting back to normal in our house! I am starting to feel more like my self! SMILE!

Thanks for you comments and stopping in to visit me!

Happy Fri-cake day

K Hutchinson

Happy first day of Spring! The weather is super funny here in WI. We hit 74 degrees earlier this week, but today it is 33 degrees and they are calling for possible snow showers! Not so spring like!

We have a busy weekend ahead…our great nephew turns two, so we are heading up to the big city for his Birthday!

bugtreatbox

This is a little treat box that I made for him with some of the new stamps I got last weekend! The treat box is made with a die from Sizzix. It is the bomb! The caterpillar image and it’s your party are  from Bugawumps. The tape measure is from Lost Coast Designs. I colored the caterpillar with oil pastels.

Next I have another journal page for you…on my thoughts on cupcakes. I used nice springy colors since the theme at Mixed Media Monday is Spring colors. I know, I am way behind with all the illness in my house! I am happy to report everyone is on the mend! Yippee!

Around and Around

K Hutchinson

So, I think we are finally get a handle of the illness in my house hold!  All the boys are on antibiotics! However the last two weeks have a taken a huge toll on me- two solid weeks of 1 to 3 hours of sleep. Now I am in a real FUNK 😦

Here is one the journal pages that I did before this funk hit! That is the spinner thingie hangs in my tree in the back yard! I hand painted the photo of it. Gave the page some texture!
