Art

I recently purchased these watercolor paintings from Abby Wagner's on line "etsy.com" shop. (Forgive me for the bad photograph. It does not do the paintings justice.)

One of my goals in life is to collect art from people that I know and love. Abby was one of those people that I immediately liked and clicked with. You know how that happens sometimes. You meet someone and right away you find that you have similar likes and dislikes, your personalities are compatible and you just really enjoy being around them. Abby is one of those people in my life. We got to know each other while serving on FFC's First Impressions team and I have grown to love Abby and her family. I can't wait to get my Polaroid paintings framed and on the wall. Having items created by those I care about brings me a great deal of pleasure. It reminds me of them and brings to my mind how much I enjoy and love each person. This makes each piece so much more than just something pleasant to look at. Each piece of art becomes part of my life story and the people who have touched my life. I have several other pieces of art from family and friends that I will share with you in future posts, and give you some background on my relationship with each individual.

One more I want to know

What makes a verbal church announcement memorable?

I want to know

Here is the next thing I want to know.
What are the most important aspects to you of a worship service at Farmland Friends Church and why. This can be anything you can think of - from the attitude of the greeters to the temperature of the sanctuary. I really, really want to know what you think, don't worry about what you say just be honest and of course don't be cruel, and don't forget to explain why.

I want to know.

I want to know:
What do you do when you sit down to your home computer?
How much time do you spend a day playing on the computer?

When I sit down I usually play a game of spider solitaire, work a puzzle on jig zone, read through the FFC blog roll on Pastor Kris' blog, and then I might post a blog of my own. I sometimes shop on line, or research something that I just want to know about.
I spend about and hour or so a day playing on the computer.

Master Pieces

I thought I would share my first ever pottery with you. It is all very "kindergarden" but I have really enjoyed Jasen Combs class at Corner Stone Center for the Arts. Maybe some day I will be able to control the clay. Right now it seems as though the clay has a life of it's own and does just as it pleases.

I have made some progress, my pieces are improving.
