Mood Swings Anyone?

I am having a mood swing, I was all happy and now I feel glum. Not sure why, maybe to do with the diet that G and I are on. No sugar can sure take the edge off your life:). Chocolate is my mainstay, and how I am surviving without it is a miracle. See, they really do still happen:). Off to a school carols night, where every class in the whole school sings a christmas song. Wow I am so looking forward to it. :)

I notice that I also get a bit down when I don't have an idea in my head of something to create. I did this today...

I am going to heavily free motion the empty bits. The paint is metallic and the purple is a lustre paint and it is fantastic. I love it and the metallic is just perfect.

So I had an idea for something else this afternoon so hopefully it will work out and I can show you.
It's a great week in that The Closer came back on tv wohooo, totally enjoyed watching that episode. What is your favourite tv show at the moment?

Hot!!

It has gotten hot too early here!! 31 degrees, too hot. Our Air Con is broken and we are hoping it will be fixed very soon.
Anyway, on a more exciting note, our oldest daughter auditioned for the conservatorium and got in!! Wohoooo. We are very excited for her. She just got back from school camp and was so excited to know she had gotten in. She was so tired from camp that I think she went to sleep in about 4 minutes :) should be fun waking her tomorrow for string ensemble nice and early. There are so many joys to being a parent :)
Did some work this week....
This piece was one that a friend painted when I did my first test class, so I free motioned it for her.

 This is my sun, I am having THE best time sewing this up. Just totally enjoying it.

I also ordered some more paints, and this time I ordered some metallic gold and silver and also I found that the company i buy the paint through stock the pearl lustre that I need and have run out of. So wohoo to that. I will be able to experiment and go to town with all that fun lustre :)
I also just finished the latest Louise Penny Inspector Gamache books. WOW it was sooo good. If you are looking for something to read with depth, they are the books. I loved it.

Finished

I have finished the Season's little wall hanging. I have listed it on Etsy and now have 10 art quilts in my shop. Now I just need to sell some :) I will now sit at my sewing machine and finish off a few items that need sewing up. The sun I painted and the sunset as well.

I just finished the latest Jack Reacher book, wow it was fantastic!!!! Cant say enough about it. I loved the story line and how it went back to his military days. Great read. What good book have you read lately?
I also watched a fantastic Sanctuary this week too, that was a load of fun. And a survivor that was sooo good, about time the people on the island spiced it up and did something different :) no more boring survivor.

Well anyway, have a look at my finished product...

Some detail shots.

I am feeling really great this week, and I have come up with a theory of why I feel even better than normal hehehe and I thought that my decision this week to not worry about what I eat at all might have something to do with it :) hehehehe but I have not gone silly, just taken the pressure off me :) let's see how long it lasts before I don't fit into my clothes :)
