Monday Milestones

Happy birthday baby sister. !!! May 1 means it’s her milestone today. And this is her work I’m showcasing here — because she’d freak if I actually put a photo of her on my blog (right, Jo? :))

Mother Africa. Acrylic on canvas. 36″X48″

Jo is responsible for the graphics on my website while the talented Emily Carlin took the design, developed it, and showed me how to make it all function — no mean feat I tell, ya :). Emily is an absolute dream to work with and I can recommend her one hundred times over. Check out some of the sites she and her team have created for other romance writers. I might just have to name a heroine after her … in fact, I think I will. It has a nice ring to it, dontcha think? … Dr Emily Carlin (I need another doc for one of my WIPs)

  The Working Artist Tarot. Mixed media on paper.

And in other Monday Milestone news (hey, I used to be a reporter ;)) my big baby is home for the summer with one year of university under her belt. We have a full house again for a few months :).

And keep those slogans coming! Thank you to all who visited and threw suggestions into the ring. Meretta (whom I believe I have now cajoled into wearing a T-shirt) and I will be collecting them through May and will pick one by the end of the month. Stay tuned :).

No mileage to report today. Ended up doing just over 8 miles yesterday (13 kilometres) sooo … today is rest day — running wise, that is. Much other ’stuff’ to do.

Happy writing

Happy reading

Happy May Day (that doesn’t sound right?)

And Happy Birthday Jo!!!!!

   Lovely work! And I like the name Emily as well. Very heroinist (made that one up).

   Happy Birthday, Joanne! May you have a day as great as your artistic talent! Love your colors! And Loreth, is that one of Joanne’s work on your wall in your house…a big painting…kind of up high…? I like that one, too.

   And, I quite like Emily Carlin’s website work as well. She has a client out there who has website I really like. Someday…

   Excellent work on the running, Loreth!! Way to go! And glad to hear your eldest is home, safe and sound.

   More balls Meretta? One day sweetie!!

   Happy Birthday Jo!!! What wonderful work. And I love the idea of Dr Emily Carlin. I went to uni with an Andy Carlin who finished his biology degree and went back to do medicene. Related? Dr Andy, Dr Em?

   Good luck with your work and congrats on the running. Wow!!!

   Yes, Meretta — that huge painting is Jo’s. We are fortunate to have quite a bit of her art in our home

   And thank you Loreth for the shameless promotion of my art :)

   You’re very welcome, Joanne. Hope you had a great day!

   And Toni is a website artiste herself. She’s designed many lovely balls/circles in my honour and someday I shall display them.
