I have been in the studio painting past two weeks. The painting above is 8x10 on board canvas. I like painting on 8x10 canvas as it’s easy to find frames and can fit in most photo frames by simply taking out the glass. This is a vintage inspired painting. I painted two at the same time, but have decided to keep the other as the Mary ended up resembling my Mom 😊<br />

I remember as a small child playing with baby dolls and here I am fifty seven years old and still love them! I could not sleep one night and decided to pass the time looking on EBay and Etsy and there she was! Such a sweet little face and she was so reasonably priced that I just had to get her and look at that adorable crochet dress! She arrived beautifully packaged with a sweet note inside with hopes of me enjoying my purchase ( I love that about most of the sellers on Etsy and the care that goes into the packaging). She is tiny in size and fits in my hand, but what really what was so special was the crochet! Beautiful tiny stitches! A sweet little addition to my limited doll collection.Sea Gypsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722875646391310491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950361245943781690.post-62993999186231349512019-07-28T13:46:00.001-07:002019-07-28T14:27:42.839-07:00Blogging about homeIt’s been a very long time since I have updated this blog. I had decided just to go with the Sea Gypsy Studio and just keep home and studio together. I am changing my mind again just because I can. Life does get busy sometimes and we look for short cuts where we can and blogging was not really at the top of my list. I have tried to keep up with my Sea Gypsy Studio on Instagram and that is the main reason for starting back on this blog. When I look at my feed it seems like a little of this and a little of that, so by having a Sea Gypsy Cottage IG hopefully that will change.<br />

A few weeks ago I found this granny sofa at one of my favorite secondhand shops for hardly nothing. I was going to try to paint it, but decided to keep it as is. It’s fun to see how many ways you can change the look!!<br />
I have decided to go white and beige with my decor, so that hopefully it will help in making decisions of things to keep and things to let go.<br />

The weather was beautiful today so I decided to move a mirror from inside to outside on the front porch. I like it but think it now needs a vine of some kind with twinkly lights. </div>

Still a few things to do___ add some side tables and spray paint the coffee table and maybe a few plants. This porch gets hot in the afternoon so I refer to it as the morning porch. </div>

<br />
1/2 c.sifted flour<br />
1/2 tsp. soda<br />
1/2 tsp.salt<br />
1/2 c. salted butter<br />
1/2 c. brown sugar<br />
1/2 c.granulated sugar<br />
1/2 c. peanut butter<br />
2 eggs (beaten)<br />
2 T.milk<br />
1 pkg. (6 oz.) chocolate pieces<br />
<br />
Grease bottom of a 13x9 inch cake pan. Sift together flour, soda, salt. Cream butter and sugars. Add peanut butter and mix well. Combine eggs and milk. Add egg mixture and sifted ingredients alternately. pour into cake pan. Sprinkle chocolate pieces on top of batter. bake 375 25 to 35 min.<br />
<br />
Note--_I like the recipe as above, but if you should want less salty, use unsalted butter and also I just lightly sprinkle the chocolate on top.I usually cook for the longer time, I like the top and bottom with a little crunch and inside soft.Sea Gypsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722875646391310491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950361245943781690.post-77832650645146851822015-12-26T19:11:00.000-08:002015-12-26T19:11:02.392-08:00Christmas Fun<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought my days of decorating the outside of the house was over, but Lilly wondered why we did not decorate outside,so with that comment said, it was time to work a little twinkle light magic. She loved it.<br />

We decorated inside and out. Every time I looked at the tree Lilly had rearranged the ornaments. Her excitement was contagious and just what I needed this Christmas.<br />
<br />
We baked and decorated cookies. We did hearts since I could not find the Christmas cookie cutters, according to Lilly we used them for play dough and they ended up in a bag to Goodwill. Lilly decorated every cookie, about four dozen. She is four, so I was very impressed with her decorating skills.<br />

I have been through many things in my 53 years, but this is really a hard one. I miss him so much. He was a part of my world that made it complete. Now I have to learn to live with this big whole in my heart. I thought  when he was born how much I had to teach him and was I even capable I was scared to death, but little did I know how much this child would teach me. Right from the start I learned to love someone more than myself (something that never goes away no matter how old they get). I could go on and on with the life lessons learned from being his Mom. It is hard to praise God in loss, but I found that praise this morning for God gave him to me!<br>
Thirty two years of memories I carry with me. Jared if you are able to read this ---- I miss your beautiful smile!<br>

The last thing I want is a big heavy meal so a salad seems to hit the spot. Cool and refreshing. I made this one today. I have decided to start posting a few of my recipes. I do love to cook. I am a diabetic so just as with this recipe I leave off the sugar, so that is why I put sugar optional. I really do love this salad it is crunchy and sweet.</p>
