November is upon us.

This year has surely flown by. November already and Thanksgiving is well on it's way. Then Christmas. Whew it's a whirlwind for sure. If you scroll down and look at my earlier posts you will see a photo of my kitchen counter full of "in progress" stuff. Well, it's all been painted up and listed on my Etsy site. I add a few photos at the end of this post. I have an interview tomorrow for a part time job that will last through Christmas. It is going to make for some burning of the midnight oil but I need the extra income. So I will work my full time job and permitting I get the 2nd job then it will be home to paint or bake, which is a new venture I will talk more about in another post. It is almost time for bed so I will post a few photos and talk with you soon.

Winter already?

Wow where did the warm weather go? It has been dreary, rainy and chilly all week here. I am not a cold weather person at all anymore. Age does change you. However, the chilly days do put you in the mood for the fast approaching holidays. I've been doing some more painting and I'll post some pics soon. I was just getting into the fall theme and now it's time to put those down and get some Christmas/Winter themes going. Time is surely flying by. Time to get back to work for the remainder of the day, then home to paint some more. I hope everyone has a peaceful day doing what ever it is you might be into. See you soon!

Busy Painting

Busy day at work then home, dinner, and painted the evening away. It was probably not such a good idea to get so many at one time started as now I have to come up with something to put On them. I have a few ideas for a couple of the pieces. Maybe I will have it all sorted out tomorrow. My etsy is in the makings so I've got to fill it up now. Keep checking...I'll be sure to post and update and link when I actually open up Andrea's Alley on Etsy.

Welcome to the Alley

Hi everyone! This is all new to me so be patient I will get the hang of it soon. My first post is going to be a "what's to come of sorts". So what is to come? I want to share with you the crafts I make, tips that I want to share, maybe even a how to here and there, or a recipe. As I have arrived at a new point in my life I am hoping to take a new path "or alley as it were" and see where I go from here. Stay with me as I stroll down this path and I'll be sure to share what I see and learn as I go.
