Well, I've been thrown a bit off my game over the past few days. My mother-in-law made, what's becoming her bi-monthly, trip to the hospital. Chest pains on Sunday. Call to the doctor. Even though I KNOW her heart is fine, there is no doctor on earth who wouldn't send a 77-year-old woman with chest pain to the hospital. So, she checks in Sunday, has her stress test Monday afternoon and goes home today. I knew it was heartburn. They are changing her reflux meds, but she keeps sort of adding to her chest pain. Now, it seems to be a bone in her rib cage that the pain follows all the way around to her back. I wish she would take up some hobbies. I know my hobby helps me forget about my little aches and pains. She has way too much time to dream up and obsess about possible problems. She's always been prone to that and it's worse with each passing year.
So, I'm a bit behind. I'm planning to list a few Halloween canvases in my etsy shop. Here are some rather bad pictures of two I've made so far. I will probably offer 3 or 4 for sale. I'll let you know when I get them listed. I'm thinking by Thursday or Friday. I'm so sorry these pictures aren't better. I plan to upgrade my camera sometime very soon. It's a priority. As many of you know, if one sells their wares through photography, a good camera is a staple. The actual canvas panels are 4x8. I am pleased with the size. Looks cool. Also, on this first canvas, I used very coarse pure German glass glitter for the rosette centers. I love the way it looks.
I could faint....I LOVE this!!!!!!!

Oh, delish! I made a Halloween birdhouse but it's not nearly as classy as your canvases. Love the black and white as opposed to the usual orange, black, purple.
