IFJM DAY 30

Yay, last day and we learn today what Hyacinth has to do to cope with all of these baby faeries.

IFJM Day 29

Faeries faeries everywhere.....mayhem in the garden.

IFJM DAY 28

Well, the frisky faeries from two of the mounds are all over the place.  They are causing mayhem.

IFJM DAY 27

Hyacinth made a startling discovery in the garden today and apparently the adult faeries were setting up "shop" in her garden to make little faeries.....and they make a LOT of mischievous hungry offspring.

IFJM Day 26

Something is brewing in the garden....

IFJM day 25

Hyacinth and Vincenzo are settling in happily with their faeries, who are making the garden their home.

IFJM DAY 24

It was not a warm spring day and even faeries dress warm in the cold

IFJM DAY 23

I don't recommend riding in a car in NYC and trying to write anything.  So not cool, the top part of the page was the Belt Parkway.....I finished writing this on the Garden State Parkway when I could finally write without issues.  

IFJM Day 22

IFJM DAY 21

IFJM DAY 20

10 more days to go but this day is the day that Hyacinth finds out what is living in her garden!

IFJM DAY 19

This was the last day of the Paint Snow Hill Event and Hyacinth, Vincenzo and Rascal also moved on to another spot....

IFJM DAY 18

I did a thumbnail sketch of a painting I started and decided that this one was not frame worthy so it never made it I r the Paint Snow Hill sale.  However, it was good enough for Hyacinth's journal.

My paintings: Paint Snow Hill

This past weekend I participated in the Paint  Snow Hill event.  The weather this year was perfect.  

IFJM Day 17

Hyacinth, Vincenzo and Rascal are having a fun getaway.

IFJM DAY 16

This cracks me up because by no means was I relaxing today.....

IFJM DAY 15

I am in MD participating in a plein air event.  Yesterday, I chose to do my journal entry at one of my painting spots and sketched as Hyacinth but in fact I was down a thumbnail sketch for my painting, lol.  Talk about multi tasking.

Here is my journal page and the painting I  did yesterday evening.

IFJM DAY 14

Here's my post for Day 14.....sorry, I was packing on the 14th and never got the chance to post this.

IFJM Day 13

The residents are getting comfy

IFJM Day 12

Today was an anti climax to yesterday. Hyacinth and Vincenzo relaxed and enjoyed the nice Spring Day.  No trees are budding or flowering yet....spring seems to be standing still, but at least the bulbs are staring to come up.

IFJM Day 11

Well here's a turn of events

IFJM day 10

My birthday sketches

Birthday sketches, my cake from this evening and my cup a Java from this morning at breakfast at Flo's.
