I thought the same thing when I saw this one. I must say, she so talented and not for anything but what a pretty woman she is. You said she use to live in her housetruck. Did she sell it or something?

I think she had a falling out with her boyfriend...no mention of what happened or the housetruck that I've noticed. Just blogged one day that she was moving into a cottage and she no longer mentions him (his name was Tui). Now she just mentioned about 2 months ago she's met a new man.

This page is the last mention of living in the housetruck:

She's a musician, artist, poet, writer...she just did the artwork (she's done many) for book for another writer.

Ya, I think so, too Patrick. Even the way she writes in her blog...she's a great story teller and has a way with words.

graydawg...do you have a website or blog so I can see what you make?

no not that computer smart yet, and I have got to get back to work painting I have people come over just to see if I started back painting yet, one Lady has over 200 pieces that I have painted she claims, I knew she had alot of my work, but I didn't think she had that much, but I have never been to her home. I have been doing ceramic painting for around 20 years, and have no idea how many pieces I have done over the years. this is the longest I have ever went without painting almost 2 years, and will have to buy all new paints this time around, but I probably have a 100 pieces packed away to be painted. I enjoy painting wildlife and southwestern style mostly, there is not alot of money to be made painting and selling with the amount of time that goes into each piece, I am overly criticle about signing a piece thats not painted right and very detailed, I have even painted in truckstop parking lots when layed over or waiting to be loaded or unloaded and they sell very quick, faster than I can paint thats for sure, but most of the time people want to give you less than you pay for the unpainted piece, and after putting in 20 hours its aggravating, but I do alot of other craft type work leather, wood, just about anything I set my mind too, since I got my neck broke I have slowed down alot, but will get back on it, just alot of irons in the fire now.

graydawg...you need to get back into your painting and other artwork. Leather work is an awesome thing to know how to do!

Not only is it all very theraputic...good for the mind and soul...just think of all the stuff you could have made during the past two years!!! You'd be all stock piled with stuff ready to sell for extra cash.

But, I hear ya...I've let life side track me a bit too the past couple of years. My divorce threw me for a loop I wasn't financially or physically prepared for. However, I was prepared emotionally for many years so I was all good on that part.

devorce's will do that to you, I was married one time, she wasn't, just celebrated my 30th devorce aniversary aug 15. I wasn't married a whole year, but I learned quick. My ass smarted for a while over it, now I'm just a smart ass. I will get back to painting and doing the stuff I enjoy making soon just been alot going on this year, If my doctor has his way I will have alot of time with a knee replacement to get over, I told him I would get back with him and let him know when I would be ready that was 10 months ago, and I'm still not ready. By the way I was impressed by your website, was pretty neat, I may try something like that one day, but for now I have to go back to work hotshotting, while the moneys still there.
