MIL update, the daughter gets gold and sock monkeys read

While at book club I heard from the hub.  MIL has a UTI (which can and does cause hallucinations in the elderly).  The boys have had her in the docs twice asking if she had a UTI and all cultures came back clean until today.  Hmmmmm.  But a UTI does answer why she's had hallucinations.  The doc's said nothing wrong with her heart.  The hub did say something that I thought was odd and that was the MIL hadn't had at least 2 dosages of her medications (while she was at the hospitial) and she was cycling thru the same couple of hallucinations.  

I was thinking that maybe without the meds, the hallucinations would lessen.  Well, we wait to see if the antibiotics gets rid of the UTI and hopefully she'll be lucid again.  It's hard on the boys to have to deal with this.

The daughter and her choir got: 1st place gold for show choir (she has a long solo in this) and 1st place gold for chamber choir.  The adjudicator's came up on stage afterwards and asked who was the soloist.  The daugher stood and they told her she was great, just perfect.  

I only got text, the hub got a phone call and she was wayyyy excited.  Love that so much!  She's worked so hard on her voice and delivery those comments about sent her to the moon!

Book club was fun.  Everyone liked the book alot.  

Earlier today I made a new graphic in PhotoImpact.  Here it is.   See that latte cup?  It's the exact cup I use every single day for my lattes.  Yes, it's that big in comparison to the book and sock monkey head.   Btw, on my FB my name is on the spine of the book.  Here in my anon blog it's absent.

Painting in PhotoImpact

Since I don't have access to my old computer I don't have photoshop on this one. Which kind of sucks if I want to make painted graphics. I do have PhotoImpact 10 on this one and usually I just use it for vector type work.

But since I joined Facebook and I hate having my real face showing I've been making all kinds of profile pics to post as my profile. hahahha, they look nothing like me, they're just fun things I make.

Here are a couple that I (mostly) painted in PI 10. It behaves totally different than PS so I've had to get used to that. In some ways it's nicer to work with because the vectors are so easy to use that I can create something in hours instead of days.

Now that I have a few female faces I need something else to work on. Something not so pretty female. Went thru a sock monkey phase, now need other things. Must ponder.

My current profile pic.



Made this one as a sort of mermaid inspired one.



I haven't used this one yet. I just made it today.



Another I made tonight.

Here is the beautified birthday version of me. Still no gravity.

The daughter portrait

The daughter. The hair took the longest and gave me fits.

A bit of tweaking done

So I fixed a couple of things. Here is the more finished version (not a lot of changes, just some tweaking).
