LeeAnna has asked


what is your favorite daily routine? describe it to us... for example
wake early when others are asleep for the peace? Make list?

Oh, I love a slow start to my day.  Coffee, some word puzzles and an email to my sister are good!  I do make lists  most days.  It is mainly for the pleasure of crossing things off of it.  That feels so satisfying.  I try to make all my appointments for the afternoon so that I don't have to rush.  Life is good!

I like that it has been fairly warm this week.  Lots of rain, which is good for the flowers, but means I can't be outside as much.  I did manage to get some of my art put into my art garden.  I need more mulch before I put out the rest of it.  I like that we got some new deck furniture.  Isn't it pretty?  I am not super keen on the accent pillows though.  I will probably use my old ones as I like them better.  They will match just fine.  I am excited to be able to use this!

I like that Sketchbook Revival has had some interesting free classes this week.  It is always fun to play in my art journals.  I don't often post photos as I am not sure it would be interesting to anyone but me.

I like learning to be a more loving person.  I saw this quote and thought it was very interesting.  Something to think about!

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Mandala Monday

Image
 Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it.  They are fun to create and that should be enough.  I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like.  It is truly a mixed media piece.  I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers.  So fun!
