Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them

Good day to you all! It's Rere here (or 'Aunty' Rere to those under 5yrs of age), and I've hijacked Denita's Blog for this day... SHHHHhhhhhhhhh... no passwords have been exchanged in this process... Denita's nicknames - hmmm, where does one start? 
  1. Her and her husband call each other "Humma", as in "Humma, sexy mamma"... 
  2. "Dee", as in the letter D..
  3. "DeeDee" - Her Gran was the only one who was allowed to call her that..
  4. "Nita" - A name the kids call her because they cannot pronounce "Denita"...
  5. "Dino" - A much hated one from her childhood (Sorry Caroline!)..
  6. "Mamma", "mama Dee" or "Mummeee" - Ever since wee Maddy Muddy Pants has been born (actually even when she was pregnant!)..
  7. "Mrs Damage" - married to "Major Damage"...
  8. "DenitaMAd" - She lived in Madeline Ave.. A.K.A Mad Ave.....! and just on the sly.. she is lovingly MAD!
  9. "Creeps like Moss" - Her Indian name.. She moved into one of four parts of a building and ended up taking over three parts...!
  10. Most important - "Mama"...... The name Miss Maddy calls her..
  11. "Bungy" - A nickname her dad gave her as a wee one..
  12. "Babe" - A term of endearment from her gracious husband... Awwwww...!
  13. "Miss Dee" - A term of endearment from me..... mille bacci!
  14. And one of her mates used to call her "A pain in his arse.." - Crikey!
  15. "Mrs T" - Shaughan's Dad calls her this.
Just quickly: I've been watching Denita and her gorgeous wee one pottering around in the kitchen this morning - So, so, so alike!

Thanks Miss Paula Ann without an E - author of arohateacher.blogspot.com and beautiful friend x x x

What a day we had yesterday it was visitor after visitor - I LOVED IT!!

We got given a crayfish and it was the yummiest cray I have ever eaten! Shaughan was lucky that I didn't eat it all!

I uploaded the new version of Skype yesterday and found out that you can video conference call! I'm so happy that this is here, just in time for my online marketing salon. It will bring the artists together just as I imagined. Thank you Skype.

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one.  Primary colours:  Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together  - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours:  A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...
