my .........uhm.............studio

This is my temporary studio set up at my half of the dinner table. Needless to say we do not eat at this table anymore instead we are using the coffee table in the living area. Ah the perks of living in an Apartment . I cannot wait to get back to the house in New Mexico and to show it to you guys when it is all decorated and made up. i will have part of the garage set up as my studio with a real table and some shelves were i can put all my tools. No more boxes and looking ages for things. No more having to put everything away or leaving it on the dining table. And the best thing is in my house i can make noise and hammer to my hearts contend until midnight if i wanted to.

Eddie

Eddie the blue beetle bug
needed a big beetle hug
so he wondered if he could find
someone to be so kind
to give a big beetle hug
to Eddie the blue beetle bug

Eddie the blue beetle bug
searched high and low for his hug
even to the top of a tree
he went to be able to see
the one that would give a hug
to Eddie the blue beetle bug

Eddie the blue beetle bug
still needed a big beetle hug
when he saw high in his tree
a big big black Bumble bee
may be he thought this one will hug
Eddie our little blue beetle bug.

African Violet

When my hubby and i still were living over in Germany , before we got married and moved to the States ( New Jersey boy ) he got me an african violet, He hates cut flowers, he will not cut any and he will not buy any for me that are cut. It makes him sad that we have to basically kill plants to tell somebody we love them and somehow i agree. Anyway, that violet was a iddy biddy tiny plant and one day it fell out the window from the 4th floor in a storm while we were away. When we found it it was half eaten and all broken from snails, lets just say it really did not look good. Well we saved it and lo and behold it grew and thrived. When we moved to the states we were not allowed to take it ( against the law ) so we gave it to my mom. And she swears that she can tell by the plant how i am doing. I was sick a couple of years ago and mom told me the plant got all sick too and revived when i got better. Now 8 years later the main plant died but it sprouted 3 other plants that my mom potted and they are doing beautifully.
