In The Rain Acrylic Painting
Artifact Uprising And NaNoWriMo
Welcome November! October felt a little long this year but it could be due to the steady weather we've had. Just maybe a couple of days of rain during the night and zero snow. Anyhow, in mid-September, Artifact Uprising offered free square prints and I thought I'd try it out to see what's so special... Continue Reading →
Happy Halloween!
Decided to dress up this year for the Knights of Columbus Halloween party and will also be doing the same look for tonight's trick-or-treating. This look was founded on Instagram and seemed easy enough. It wasn't as easy as it looked, to be honest, but the end result was so much fun to look at. ... Continue Reading →
Watercolor Leaves
Some watercolors I did through a course on Skillshare. I used the Kuretake watercolor set I posted a photo of in a previous post.

He worked through a company but billed his own hours, so in essence, he was his own business. He would get up just before dawn and head downtown to the heart... Continue Reading →
Kitchen Remodeling: Faucet
Here's the new faucet and sink. It's beautiful.
Kitchen Remodeling: Counter Tops Finished
The granite counter tops are done. The faucet looks tilted because it wasn't screwed in yet. The plumber came the day after the granite went in and put in the plumbing and faucet.
Kitchen Remodeling: Inside the Island
Junk inside the island area. We had the house built in 2009 and were always suspicious of things like this from the construction crew. Once we found a soda can inside the wall after they had sealed it up. They had to move or add an outlet and when the construction guy broke through the... Continue Reading →
