A to Z Challenge Letter C is for Crafting

Today for the A to Z Challenge, C is for Crafting and CIRCLES. That's just one of those words if you say too many times it seems to lose all meaning. 

Crafting.... I do a lot of it, and I don't seem to finish a lot of projects. When I was married, I walked into my office one day and there were post it notes on different items around the room. A note was on the computer screen that said, "I have counted 25 projects." Well, those were just the 25 he could actually see! hahaha! 

I love circles, and I'm currently painting a lampshade to resemble Kandinsky Circles.

Here's my project! I'll update when it's finished! 


What are different crafts that you like to do or have tried? Are you working on anything right now?

A to Z Challenge Letter B

For my artistic fun for the letter B I decided to enter the Spring Fling Contest and write about BEES!!! They have rules to follow, and we are to use a gif for inspiration. It can only be 150 words. Fun!

5 Little Buzzing Bees

Five little buzzing bees

Flying through fields and over trees


Find ten flowers 

And buzz with delight

Five flowers on the left

Five flowers on the right


Buzzing this way

Buzzing that way

Buzz, buzz,

Buzzing all day


Until one buzzing bee said

"Hey, come count with me!" 

"Buzz!" said one.

"Buzz, Buzz!" said two.

"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz!" said three.


"Let's count more!" said four.


Buzzy, Buzzy, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz!

Said five flying upside down.

So the five flew together counting buzzes, 

And other things close to the ground.


They counted five dandelions. 

They counted five big sticks.

"We could count the circles we make

When we fly and do fun tricks!" 


One circle

Two circles

Three, four, and five.

Then counting all the things they see

Flying to the hive.


Five big red balloons 

Floating slowly by

And five colorful clouds

That filled the evening sky.

The A to Z Challenge Letter A

 It's April, and that means it's time for the A to Z Challenge! 



This A to Z challenge I've decided to do something fun each day! Today I should call my theme "I Should be Editing" since my latest mauscript is finished, but in honor of the letter A let's call it "Artistic Fun!" 

My home is literally the land of unfinished projects, but I think by the end of April I can make some fun happen! I can't wait to share some things with you along the way! 

Today is my blank canvas. I do mean that in the literal sense too. My blank canvas is over by my kitchen table! 

Happy A to Z, and I hope to visit with you soon! Tell me something in the comments that you like to do as an artistic outlet!
