My name is Janene Renee Tindall - Welcome to my web site!  Below you will find my blog, a random stream of stories of my thoughts and experiences, including quotes, photos, links, and more.  My interests range the gamut from painting, drawing, crocheting, needlecrafts, and cooking to reading, antiquing, flea market shopping, traveling, journaling, and of course home and family.  See photos of my art and life by selecting the "gallery" link above.  Check out my etsy site (www.rusteddragonfly.etsy.com) for my latest handmade creations for sale.  On May 20th, 2007, my husband, Chris, and I welcomed our first child into the world, a son we called Benjamin Michael (www.thetindallfamily.com).  For right now, I am enjoying the life of a stay-at-home mom before I have to return to my job in October (part-time, hopefully).  Together we own a store called The Weed Patch (www.theweedpatchstore.com), where we sell country, primitive, folk art décor and gifts.  Sometime within in the next year I hope to get my small business up and running, called Rusted Dragonfly.  My vision is for Rusted Dragonfly to be a one-stop shopping resource for unique paper arts, collage, mixed media, assemblage, and journaling supplies and toys, but for now I am selling my own handmade art and craft goodies.  We’ll keep you updated with photos and musings on my blog below, so please feel free to check in often and enjoy the journey with us!

New Halloween Illustration



I did a sketch this weekend for a new Halloween themed illustration, which will be used on the cover of the October issue of Country Pleasures magazine. We were going to use my pumpkin man, but it turns out that the magazine photo I took him from wasn't actually that of an antique figurine, but a 2003 August Moon design by Lang! It was by complete chance that I discovered this - last weekend I was at Sumner for the second time in my life, and one of the shops had my man sitting right there on the counter. Imagine my suprise! She said it is broken, so she only puts it out as a decoration. Well, that took care of that - no using it in any publication! So I sketched this funny little troup out last night and just finished painting it up today. I'll post a photo of the completed work later this week.

Hope you all had a good weekend - Have a nice night!

Lovely Sunday

The view out my front door today. It was so lovely I had to snap a photo.



New chair for my studio, picked up yesterday for $35. It has been in my favorite antique store since we moved here in the spring, so I took that as a sign that it was meant to be mine.
