"Piano Keys" - sold

My old spinet piano...It was the family piano that I learned on when
I was a little kid. My father played great old tunes on it most of
his life. Now, when I take a painting break, I sit down and play
for a while,it often seems as though he is with me..

On this cold day with it's first snowfall of the winter,
my thoughts go to a bright, warm beach.
Most everyone who goes to the beach, picks up a sea shell
or even a little twig. Many years later, when we look at our
collection we can often recall that very special day.

"Sewing Time"

I have been doing a bit of sewing and sculpting lately,
as are quite a few of my friends. We are preparing for a
great Art Doll Convention called AFIC, that will be held
at the end of the month.So, it seemed logical to do a
little sewing stuff.
