and fall showed up







 







 





















 

October began with

The Life Book Creativity & Wellbeing Summit

where I got lots of

inspiration and lessons

stayed busy for almost the whole month

and created a bunch

it was wonderful

 

during that time fall

finally showed up

with colder weather

colorful leaves

deer season

and just plain cozyness

 

loving:

coffee & blankets

falling leaves

the hope of snow

watching movies

reading mysteries

 making lists of fun things to do

(and actually doing them)

 

 

summer mornings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

I've spent a little time in my art journal

every morning this week

this girl has changed everyday

I had no idea that I would use all

this color

I had no plan for her except for her pose

I really love painting this way

no expectations no stress

for perfection

just let her appear

use whatever color I love at the moment

marker paint color pencil

I try them all

I don't love the painting the whole time

in the past I would've

crumpled it up

said it was ugly

not anymore

I've learned too many ways to fix it

and I keep trying till

I love it again

 

aaaahhhhh! mornings outside

with coffee are another favorite thing

mr darcy and muffie jo

agree

 

also loving:

loud beautiful fireworks

extra sleep

books

deer and foxes

chickens around my feet

 

 

 

 

 



 

 



good things

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 a little bit of art  lots of reading,

lots of eating  coffee always

sitting outside listening

to the birds

shopping and new yarn

dogs in my lap

working and walking

these are the good things
