It's a Good Friday !

(An oldie but a goodie - Rebirth Collage from 2007)

No new art to show as I was struck down by the dreaded Stomach Flu this week. Man, that has to be one of the worst ! Thankfully, I am feeling a lot better today and have enough energy to get the house ready for an Easter weekend visit from my pal Suzanne from Montreal.

She is bringing her 100 pound Old English Sheepdog, Sam, with her. So between Chica who is shedding her winter coat like crazy, and Sam, who brings back in every speck of dirt possible with him every time he goes outside, I don't think I will be worrying too much about house cleaning until things go back to normal on Monday. Just some fresh linens on the guest bed, a shiny bathroom, some spring flowers on the dining room table and a well-stocked fridge and we should be all set for a lovely weekend !

Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Easter to those who celebrate the holiday, and a wonderful spring weekend to those who don't ! Either way, I hope you find many moments of rebirth to celebrate !

Lots of love from the Queen who is so thankful her insides are back where they belong !

Going to Visit the Peeps !

The sweet hubby and I are off to Montreal today for a Easter Weekend visit with my peeps. My sister lives about an hour north of the city in a cozy house in the mountains. On Saturday, we will be celebrating Easter, my nephew Tom's 5th birthday and the imminent arrival of my sister's little girl (due the beginning of May). So very much to be thankful for ! These family times bring me such joy and pleasure. It is so very worth the 5 hour drive !!!!

This piece is for the baby's room. It is done on two 18X20" canvases and will grace the walls above her crib. Looks like spring, doesn't it ? I had a lot of fun creating it to go along with the nursery colors. The rest of the room is much more neutral and this diptych will proving a sweet pop of color. I can't wait to shower this baby with love and all things pink !

Have a great weekend everyone ! Happy Spring !
