My art studio space is out in the tiny house on our property. The previous landowner used it as a hunting cabin before our main house was built. When we moved here I claimed it as my art space and when we have a full house of visitors, it doubles as extra guest quarters. We hope to upgrade it in the future for our guests, but it works great for me to get away and focus on a painting project. I don't worry about leaving my art supplies strewn about when I'm in the middle of something ... works better than the kitchen counter in that regard!
The barn quilt was my 3rd, and my largest piece so far. It looks awesome hanging above our fireplace and I am quite pleased with it.
The windmill, was a first attempt at painting a landscape in acrylic. It turned out pretty well I think for a first try.
I have a couple of other projects in mind for this winter, will have to see what I actually have time to get done!

So the end of a year always puts me in a reflective mood. My birthday is December 31 so a new year always means a year older! 2020 has certainly been a difficult year. Besides all the pandemic crazy, my husband and I have had aging parents facing health challenges, kids facing job challenges, military life challenges, college challenges with COVID, and on and on and on! Can we be done yet??!
The holidays certainly were not what we hoped, no gathering with the grandparents for their safety; no traveling home for our daughter and military son-in-law (all leave cancelled!) and no visits from our grandkids! Very sad indeed.
Happily there are things to focus on for 2021. I have started my 2nd children's board book! Son number 2 got engaged and they are planning a summer 2021 wedding! Our recently graduated teacher has her first teaching job!
So for now let's take it one day at a time. Hurry up 2021 ...we need a new start!
