Though I would attach our Christmas card. This watercolor is done of what I remember my Grandma Funk's home to look like. Both she and the farm house are no longer with us. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that we all have a better 2017 than 2016 has been. In light of the current election I am afraid that might not be the case. I hope I am wrong, but..... it really isn't looking good. This posting is not going to be political though.
2016 has held a lot of things for me, both good and bad. I am going to try to stay focused on the good. I have had a couple of exhibits this past year. The last is currently at the St. George Art Museum, here in St. George, Utah. It will be there only until the 31 of December. Candice is doing well in school and about ready to graduate. She will be applying to graduate schools. We have been lucky to have Megan and Patrick here twice this year. They are both doing good, both working hard and enjoying life in New York. Meg is working hard and going to school. Dave is doing pretty good as well. One of the negative things we are going through is the possibility of Dave loosing his job. We are hoping and praying that this does not happen. If we have to relocate.... well..... we relocate. Hopefully we will not have to cross this bridge, again.
I have been very busy with client work this past few months. I am enjoying that. Right now I only have 3 quilts awaiting me. I will get at them as soon as the kids head back to New York. There are a couple of shows I might enter coming up. I have not decided about that yet. Now that this blog seems to be easier to use. I will try to remember to post at least once a week. I still don't have my website up and going. Patrick is waiting for me.
My goals this for 2017, besides getting more fit, is to focus on my painting more. I have done very little painting and really miss that. I am going to try to spend less time working on other's projects and focus on some of my own. If Dave's job is solid and IHC signs a contract, I am going to cut down my client work. I still want to do some, but really need time to do my own art. I have sold two pieces this past year, neither were high dollar, but I have hopes. My patterns are selling well, in the one store I have them in. I was going to have thing on a web site, so the patterns could be down loaded as PDF's but I really have not had time to even think about that. Also...... I am thinking about a class, am working on a book and various other things. We will see how much I accomplish this year. I am going to become more computer savvy. I have to or I have to just quit.

I am going to close for a while. I have many other photos of quilts to post, but I need reduce their sizes, I guess. My machine has hung on uploading, won't up load but won't let me disconnect either. Until later..... Charlotte
