Quarantine Update #10 - a paint along class

Have y’all heard of the painting classes people used to do when we could gather in groups?  I think the ones in our area are called Wine and Pallet.  Anyway,  I’ve never done one of the actual classes.  A person I really know is hosting free paint along classes on Facebook while we’re all at home.  So this was a good opportunity to try a class and do something different.  

I’ve done almost nothing today so when 7 p.m, rolled around,  I found some paints and joined in.  

If you want to do one,  you can watch live on Fridays or the past classes are on demand on Facebook under "Creative Disasters for Beautiful Minds” 

Above is the painting done by the original artist 

Above is where I set up to start- and all those groceries and kitchen things that were on this table in my last post have been put away 😀

My finished painting 

It was fun to do and my assortment of old craft paints worked fine but I want to get a small fine brush if I do another one.   Toni is the teacher and she explained mixing colors and the techniques in a clear, fun way.

Quarantine update #9 - because I may be a bit crazy 😜

This week, I planned to redo the shelf paper and declutter and deep clean my kitchen.  I started it yesterday evening.  

Then I got frustrated with Walmart grocery pickup because so many items (and items I’m wanting) are not listed on their app.  

So I left this morning with my mask and gloves and sanitizer and went to a Neighborhood Walmart. - yes, Right in the middle of a strewn out kitchen! 

I could tell by the parking lot it wasn’t too busy.  I was able to go right in,  no line to stand in to enter, and did my shopping.  

I wasn’t looking to buy meat and it’s a good thing as the meat counter was almost empty.  So was canned soup.  

But I did find dry beans, rice, cereal, bread, toilet paper, flour, sugar, rubbing alcohol- all things that I haven’t bought in a month because I’ve done all my grocery shopping on Walmart pickup but those things couldn’t be bought there.  

On some items like flour and toilet paper, it asked customers to only buy 1.  

Many customers wore masks and gloves though they are not mandatory in Oklahoma.  

Every shopper I saw was just a single shopper,  no families hanging out together as they shopped.  Everyone was keeping their distance from each other too.  

And yes,  I took all shopping precautions as suggested by the medical people in the know.  

Below is my kitchen- torn apart 

And the dining table covered with kitchen stuff and today’s groceries.  


I don’t think I’ll get done today,  but hopefully it will be done tomorrow.  But who knows? 

Nobody is coming over so those piles can wait.  

Are y’all doing similar projects? 

❤️ Rhonda
