It's another beautiful day in the Ole North State & I'm here in front of my computer...well, why break traditions. We've had a little rain this week which has caused a blizzard of colors to drop from the trees. My truck was covered so I decided to take him out & let the wind brush the adornments from his face. My first stop was to see Tyrone for a quick holiday cut & for him to cover the natural "highlights" in my hair that keep popping up with more frequency as the years (maybe weeks) go by. Ty gives me great cuts & color (for a fraction of what I'd been paying) & who doesn't like to be called Princess & kissed on the head when they leave?? I'll take it.
Then I ventured over to Whole Foods for a few bulk items, then to the yarn shop to get the skein of yard that I bought last week rolled into a ball. It's so much easier to have them do it than to try to make Dakota hold out her little paws while I do it.
Then off I go to look at things I can't buy, but like to hold. Why is it that when I don't have money I see sooo many things that I want, but when I do have a little extra, I can't find anything?
I stopped by a local establishment to see a few friends & to do a little art. I love this place because I can go in with paper, pencils or yarn & knitting needles & do whatever I like to do. Drink juice or water...or maybe something a little more recreational, & catch up with the news. I chatted with friends & ended up with a couple more commissions for jewelry for Christmas.
I came home & noticed a big pile of limbs & branches in my yard. Aaawww, Earl had been here while I was gallivanting & had cut down the 3 trees in the front & had filled up my yard bin. I knew he was going to come by & do it, but wanted to be here to help him. He did great job & I think I'm going to have to throw in something a little extra in exchange for his help along with the necklace...I wonder if his wife wears earrings?
I worked on the last assignment for the online art course I'm taking here then realized that I had accomplished more than I had planned except for the most important. I'd forgotten to get my little sweetie more food. Poor, little, neglected puppy.
(BTW, she's laying on a flannel sheet, a wool blanket & her down duvet, yes, it's her down duvet.)
Well, I did have enough food for a couple more days, but must run out to get more today. I don't want her calling anyone & telling on me.
Here's my little angel painting.
Still practicing, still have a long ways to go.
Have a great day!!

I LOVE the little angel painting almost as much as the fact that Dakota has her own down duvet :)) Sounds like you had a great day!
Thanks Beth. The angel is my first one, but I want to keep working & practicing until I can find my own style. Dakota kinda claimed the duvet as her own a couple of years ago & she doesn't like to share. If I try to pull it over me she stretches out to cover as much of it as she can & takes her paws to pull it back. Spoiled much??? Oh no!! lol

I agree about getting the yarn shops to roll the yarn for you! I end up spending waaaay too much time unsnarling knots!
LOVE the angel!
It's so much easier. The first time I saw that thing I didn't know what in the world a yard shop would do with that object of torture, but soon found out. I love going into the shop & feeling all of the wonderful yarns...now I just need to figure out what to do with them. :)
