Some older paintings waiting for resin finish with Liquitex pouring medium

Now I am waiting to put a couple of mini's together to set them up for the resin finish in the basement. This one I started up north at the cottage and then I looked at it one day and thought this is a perfect candidate for a resin finish. 

I got my painting MOJO back and playing with Pebeo glitterpuffy paints

finally....my sister in law got a hold of my painting MOJO and I came back from Texas with her cleaning MOJO.....but she's back to cleaning and she doesn't like it. Playing around preparing new little mini paintings and loving playing with the Pebeo glitter puffy paint.

My grandson Christian is 1 year old - Painting waiting for varnish of Winnie the Pooh

Since his room is themed Winnie the Pooh,  I made him another painting. I just love Winnie the Pooh and all the characters. They are fun to paint and I am sure he will love looking at all the colours.

Latest paintings with Liquitex paints and lots of glitter by Pebeo

Remember that painting that I made way too dark? Well it has taken a complete transformation. It still needs a little more grey to balance out the top part but I will work on that today. I am liking the romantic feel I get from it. here are some close up shots of the details

Blue oyster mushroom kit from Lufa Farms

I got a Blue oyster mushroom kit with my order a few weeks ago from Lufa Farms that grow on rooftops in Montreal and they also bundle up with local businesses for delivering other products such as coffee, teas, condiments, bakery goods and very unique products. I bought a mushroom kit quite a few years ago which I had bought on line and they were delicious so I thought I would give this one a try. Remember though this needs daily attention so don't plan a vacation after starting your kit. I got maybe 3 or 4 crops from the last one I had and there is nothing like a fresh mushrooms. My brother in law who is a mushroom picker but he is only able to do it while visiting in the Laurentiens as he lives in Texas. When he is here, we usually have some very special mushrooms as he knows which one's to pick. Anyhow I am only going to start mine in the next couple of weeks because I am just too busy doing other things. I will post the progress from start to finish....yum, I can't wai...

What to do with Chckpea sprouts

As a bonus with my order from Lufa Farms today, I got a small package of Chickpea sprouts. I went to the website where they come from (degermeenpousse.com ) and was unable to find what to do with them. I did find this information at food.com so I will give it a try and post my results http://www.food.com/recipe/how-to-sprout-chickpeas-496814 http://montreal.lufa.com/en/blog
