It has been so long since I posted that I put in the title and posted. Sigh....
We have been in the house a week. Whew. Here are some teasers until I get more done.
Here is part of the storage shed with the Christmas Tree. We went to the Festival of Trees, a fundraiser for the Family Crisis Center as I mentioned. You buy the trees in auction and then they wrap them up and you bring them home or they deliver so you can just open them up and you have your tree all decorated! We bought the "tool" tree sponsored by Frank Rainosek and Sears. It had tools under it for Gene, which he is making good use of already and is mostly red and silver. We put it up but had to redo it. Some of the decorations were too loose and one of the strings of lights quit on it. So it looks great. Photos to follow soon.
This is looking from my studio onto the living room. Now the tree is in that corner! My studio is such a mess with stuff on the floor. We got some tables/desks from Craig's list today. I will be able to put the stuff on the tables and can post some photos soon.
This was frost on the grass the other morning. Very rare in Bastrop. We had a little rain again yesterday. Woo hoo!
And for sketching for
Scavenger Hunt 246 (oops, it is #247, I guess I didn't do any for 246 or just skipped it), I sketched in the living room in the new chair with ottoman and then at the RV park while the trailer was being cleaned. So nice. Thanks Danny and Reuben. They were burned out also and are trying to get their business,
Honey Bee Maids, going again. Reuben has a tree service, too, so had much hard work clearing the burned trees.
Number 1, seasonal - a poinsettia that I bought to have some color before we brought the furniture over.
Number 2, ornament - some of the Christmas balls and ribbon from the tree.
Number 3, man made - the RVs and Trailers and cars.
Number 4, natural - the trees
Our son, Larry, is here tonight. Our first dinner guest and over night guest! Great that we have a bed and room for guests. I cooked a pot roast and made flour tortillas. Came out OK even with the new gadgets and pans. Just have to think of everything, no automatic reaching for things. Hard to teach old dogs new tricks they say. Sigh...
For my artist today, you can check out
Larry's photography. : )

Wonderful sketches Jo, especially like the campers. You new home looks really lovely. You all sure have been through it, I hope you get settled in quickly and love you new place.
The house looks great. With furniture, it should be quite comfy. I hear you on the automatic reaching for things in the kitchen. Toby and I can't find anything with so much cabinet space. Now where did I put the spatulas...
Jo - so cool that you are getting things set up, and figuring out where things should go. Hard at first, but fun too. And still finding time for sketching - I'm impressed!! Can't wait to see the house-in-progress.
Hi Barbara, thank you. Sketching is like homework so have been trying to do a little.
Bag blog, thanks so much. You know the feeling I am sure. Your new place looks so great, you have done excellent work building it.
Regina, thank you, too. We are contemplating where to put our new paintings! We will have to paint some more, that is the only painting I have done so far was with you.
Nice sketches. Looking forward to being an overnight guest one of these days! :-)
Joanna, too bad you didn't make overnight in the RV. Tee hee! Thanks.
