Alas, Poor Charlie!

On January 26, 2017May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

I can't even say I knew him well! I can say I knew this was going to happen, but against all odds I did it anyway. I'll admit it, I spent $11.99 for another houseplant and the proceeded to systematically kill it off. Not on purpose, you understand, but it's like Mark always said, the plants …

Stained Glass

On January 25, 2017May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

I've never tried doing actual stained glass...to many of you, the thought of me cutting glass in my home probably doesn't sound too good either... But who needs real stained glass when you have gel pens and Google Images?  To be honest, I probably got most of these ideas from Bing Images, just to be …

Okay, how many grandmas do YOU know who would let you paint their bathroom door? Or perhaps the better question is, "How many would let you paint a whimsical scene on their bathroom door?" Now we're getting somewhere... For the longest time I had been thinking how fun it would be to paint a whimsical scene …

Fish in Progress

On January 9, 2017May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

As soon as I thought of the title of this post I was reminded of a story from when I was teaching 7th and 8th grade English learners. Besides being a Spanish teacher, I also taught English as a second language. It was decided that I was the logical choice to teach the beginners, since I …

Doodles and Kaleidoscopes

On January 3, 2017January 28, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized

I love doodles! Several years ago I saw a picture online where someone had done a doodle design that covered the whole page. I said to myself, "I can do that!"  You already know that I began drawing  intricate, detailed designs because they helped me focus during times when I needed it most. But sometimes they …
