everything in it's place

 

good morning

There is nothing better than sitting outside each morning with a cup of coffee.

💛

Then a walk in the shady parts of the yard.

I cleaned up my table so I could paint this week. Also I set up an area to paint frames. They are stacking up in a corner.  Now I can work on them as I paint my girls. 

I just need to remember to put everything in its place and maybe it will stay tidy.

summer mornings

 

good morning

Summer isn't always my favorite season, with it's  heat and humidity.  Oh but the mornings 💛💛💛 spent outside with a good cup of coffee are the best! Sitting with the birds and the clouds and the peace, sigh..  I go to bed looking forward to them. 

And now my cat, Grey, joins me. She started out as a stray kitten but has grown into a wonderful pet. 

My dogs have started going with me on my morning walks. We all need the exercise these days, to help take off some added pounds. 

Slowly but surely. A little bit at at a time. Changing habits until they stick. 

💛

Instead of painting I quilted this week.  I so enjoy hand sewing, the slow stitching, one at a time rhythm and the satisfaction of seeing progress.  And when you are finished you have something not only beautiful but practical. Made by you. 

💛💛💛

hello

 

looks as if i missed last month huh? i just got determined to finish painting my art room. i started it like two years ago! it was time. the reason i got back to it was i have been reading the dottie angel blog. i started at the beginning in 2007 and it's been so much fun! and so inspiring! because of her i have prettied up my laundry room and finished painting my art room. and i am so happy! now i am in the process of making it pretty, working clockwise around the room i will cover, paint, organize and hang stuff. and the good thing is i already own most of the stuff i need. i just found it all while moving things around. stashes of fabric, of buttons, of boxes, all kinds of cute stuff. i did get a fun garden fairy painting done, and work some on my tiny kitchen. got to spend some nice mornings outside at different places too. so i've just been busy, but now i'm back.

 

loving:  all the ideas in my head

 

wishing: I could make things faster
