Mt. Emily show

I just entered a small (18"x24") watercolor wall hanging of Mt. Emily in the EOU "Images of Emily" art show. The show is part of the International Women's Week celebration. It was a last minute UFO I finished. I added buttons and lose threads so it looks three dimensial.
They have 16 female artists and they will have sculpture, photographs, paintings, batik watercolors and fabric hangings. It sounds so important. Monday at 5:30 they will give out an award and some ladies will read poetry and a short story about Mt. Emily and they she said she would introduce the artists. They will also have refreshments and a small jazz trio. Here is the website to see it: http://chinook.eou.edu/ua_story/index.cfm?ID_num=822 or just go to eou.edu and find it from there.

Gotta dance

Here we are dancing the can can and the Tango.

Reluctant Dragon

The Portland Opera to Go rented three costumes this week, a dragon, Sir George and a peasant boy. EOU said they were busy doing two shows, so Peter Wordelman sent them to me. It was a thrill for me to have them here. Sir George sang his part with a lisp. I have never heard that done before. It was delightful! I should have painted the dragons fingernails gold so you can see them better. We used angel wings for the wings and painted them gold. I put the horns on a cat ear headband and added green ears and spikes down the back. We could have done a hood but we wanted his beautiful dreads to show.

New bed set

Andrew is liking his new full size bed and nightstand with matching dresser and mirror. It came with bright yellow sheets. We can even see the floor in his bedroom now! Way to go Andrew!

New haircut

I got my haircut and look 10 pounds thinner and 10 years younger! ta daa!

The rivalry begins when young

La Grande and Baker City have a fierce rivalry in sports. Andrew and his sixth grade team played Baker's sixth grade team this Saturday and won. They will play each other for the next six years!

Reading area

We got rid of the old upright piano that no one played and this is what I did with the spot. I like the wooden ironing board. We do need a better bookshelf than the old crates. I want to paint the dark bookshelf a lighter color and we want to get a cozy wing back chair to read in. Other than that it is perfect. hmmm maybe a rug...
