Whatnots & Whims by Mary

Whatnots & Whims by Mary Just a hobby right now. Not doing business at this time, but maybe will again someday. I really want Not sure when I will again. Have a blessed day!!! Love to all!

Update July 2021: I haven't been able to create anything new for a few years due to physical limitations. Probably won't be doing the centerpieces or garden stakes anymore and probably not too much on tiles. Hope to concentrate my efforts on painting on canvas doing abstracts and landscapes. How it all started:
I have always loved art, gardening, bunnies, teapots and dishes; not, necessarily in th

at order. I've never studied any, so I just do my own thing and hope that what brings me joy will bring you joy, too. My goal is to create lovely artistic pieces for home and garden. A couple of years ago, I discovered alcohol inks. I'm still learning how to use them. It's fun trying new things, seeing what works and what doesn't work. Hopefully, the end result will be something that awakens your senses and evokes pleasant emotions. Watercolors is another art medium that has always fascinated me, so I am going to learn how to work with them, too (I hope!).

Hopefully, it won't be too much longer before I am able to get back to my artsy stuff. I am finally able to go downstairs again. So, once the basement is finished (had it waterproofed; had issues so we had to wait for the company to fix; then had new flooring, will get the walls painted this week, the baseboards replaced and carpet on the stairs on the 26th and then, I should be able to get everything set up and start creating again. I want to do more on canvas and dabble in some new mediums. I can hardly wait. It's been too long. 👏👏👏

Just thought I would give an update. Went to see my surgeon back on Nov. 29th. Got some good news. Things seem to be on track. I'm still on crutches with toe-touch weight bearing only for my left leg. They unlocked the brace to 30 degrees so I can do some simple heel slides to get a little bit of fluid moving in the joint. And the really great thing, he took my brace off, held my leg up in the air and told me to hold it there and he let go! And...guess what!?! My leg stayed up in the air!! And it was straight and it didn't hurt and it didn't feel like any stress. It was MAGIC!!! So they said my physical therapy can start including straight leg raises. I haven't been able to do those since Jan/Feb. I am so excited. He said it will still be a really slow process for healing and especially for the bending, but hey! It's progress and feels great!!! Thank you all for your prayers and love. I love you all!!! ❤️😘❤️

I can't believe it is fall already. I'm still not able to get downstairs to my arts and crafts. I wanted to switch out the pics to some oldies but goodies. I love painting pumpkins and fall scenes. Not sure when I will be able to get back to it. :(

I really miss being at the Farmer's Market. I miss seeing and getting to catch up with everyone. I hope you are all healthy and having a great spring. I hope summer will be even better! I had a second surgery on May 21st. I am recovering well. Still in the brace and on crutches - probably for another 6 weeks. Since I can't go downstairs, I'm not able to get to my inks, paints and tiles. I am looking forward to the day when I can get back down there and do some artwork. Until then, my friends!!

Beautiful Sunday morning! I won't be doing the Fayette County Farmer's Market this year; I had surgery for a torn quad tendon last week so I won't be able to do the set up and tear down. And I haven't been able to get downstairs to do any kind of painting since January. I hope each of you have a fabulous spring and summer! God bless you!!

Still trying to decide what to do and where to go from here. I can't believe it is October already and winter will be here before we know it. It's been almost a year since I painted anything. I do want to get back to painting. I just haven't decided what I want to paint.

I'm still trying to find my way. I don't want to glue dishes together anymore - been working on getting out of that for over a year now. It is a very time consuming process - looking for just the right pieces involves a lot of time and travel.

I really just want to concentrate on artwork. I may take a break from the farmer's market until later in the summer; still deciding. Doing some soul searching and praying to find out what I should be doing and where I should spend my time. If you feel inclined, I'd appreciate some additional prayers for guidance.

I have to admit that I haven't done anything creative in several months. 😞 I am trying to get my creative mojo back and hope it returns soon... Just been going through some things and need to find my focus and decide where I want to be and what I want to do.

This is so pretty. Would love to do something like it on my front porch.
