My beloved Weblos....Tuesday watercolor exercises

Tonight the weather is changing ...the snow is returning but I had a warm evening with my beloved Weblos.   They have now completed their badge requirements for their Art badge to be presented on March 16 at a local church dinner party.  I gave them all a baby spider plant...they were fascinated by the off shoots...and so they all wanted to try to grow one at home.  I am totally exhausted but I do believe they had a great time...honestly I think just playing with paints is enough of a lesson.

now it is time to clean up............

I worked on replenishing my card selection...St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner...Easter cards and and some cute little baby boy cards.  Ken brought me a fish sandwich and a iced tea unfortunately it was sweetened ...yuck!  Now I need a good shower but enjoy the photos!  I will wait to see how much snow we have in the morning...I left my glasses at the studio.   I really would lose my head if it was not attached.  I know it is because I am so tired.  I wish you all peace and safety!  Peace,  Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
