I HAVE HAD A CHANGE IN MY LIFE THAT HAS ME LOST AND CONFUSED.

LIFE WILL BE DIFFICULT, BUT I KNOW HE WOULD WANT ME TO CONTINUE ON LIKE THE SELF SUFFICIENT WOMEN HE MOLDED ME INTO.
YOU WILL BE TRULY MISSED, MY LOVE.

My back Yard #1
I believe everyone should do something to calm nerves. I have been doing hobbies for years, it helps me feel complete. I love my Yard, making it inviting for the squirrels, birds, butterflies & other insects. Growing plants, watching them get bigger , the mixture of greens, whites & yellow. My favorite plant is anything that is variegated, which means a combination of green & white or yellow. I have a Boston Fern that is so cool, its long stems with finger like ends, looks lush and frilly. A hardy flowing plant , Vinca or sometimes called Periwinkle, Grows up strong and flowers almost all year. It just can't make it in the Cold. But if left alone the Vinca will grow back in the Spring Even more Lush & Colorful.
Texas State Bird
Mockingbird
These birds are fun to watch. They fly in swooping motions, and don't get to close to their nest, this bird will swoop down to your head, to scare you away. If a cat comes by, its so fun to watch them. The Mockingbird will aggravate that cat until it runs away.

Acrylic Art
Painting is very relaxing, the Colors Mixing, the designs you create. Abstract painting lets you be yourself in the designing of a painting. I love the matching of colors, I read that each artist should have a certain technique that is their own. Mine is called Flowing Colors. Its consists of uneven stripes of different colors, dripping and scribbling. I have done 2 so far. I have also tried painting flowers in abstract, a tree and a Mix Media piece. Those were not as enjoyable as the Flowing Colors. I am working on a bigger piece, 24" x 30. Its going to be called " I feel Blue", lots of shades of blue & white with twists and turns.
If you want to relieve Stress in your everyday routine, pick up a brush and start painting.

Shop changed, once was Cowboys & Indians
Is now "What Ya Think ?"
It seemed to be so much competition when it came to Southwestern Jewelry, and Sales were not as good as I thought it should be. So I have this shop to put whatever comes to mind designs. Check back regularly for new items.
