Woops. Winter

Winter?  I have to take a guess at times.  All is good in my household.  My kitties and I are all fat and sassy, grateful for all we have.......and all we don't have.

For all who read this, I wish you a safe and sane holiday season.

A N D once again we go into Fall, with glorious colors and projects to do. This is absolutely the best time of the year for me. Hope you also enjoy.

And upon moving to another apt.  I lost two cats.  One has returned after three months.....skin and bone but recovering nicely.  The other.......I never give up hoping he will saunter in my door and complete this little unit I have going here.  My art is being published, and I'm grateful.  My live is serene, peaceful and quite full of all I love.  For that I'm so grateful. I wish all who read this happiness, peace of mind and soul, and lovely dreams and thoughts.  Take care.

Here comes summertime........maybe

WOW, didn't realize it had been so long between blogs.  I am moving into another apt. in the dame complex and will still work for the same management company.  Yahoo; I'll be one story up so will be able to see more of what goes on here; and that's always interesting to say the least.

I am finishing some artist trading cards, actually have finished them, almost 100 of them.  Seems once I started them, the ideas just kept on appearing; loved every second of it.  One more table runner to finish up and then on to the next project.  I love this life I have, so quiet and calm after too many years of chaos and turmoil.  Lordy, don't know how I survived it, but am grateful I did.

My grand daughter is on her own now, so my living space is again very very quiet and serene.  I love her dearly, but also love being alone.  Get soooo much art done it's amazing.

All for now, I wish any/every-one who takes the time to read this the best life has to offer and well being.

Almost Fall

It's almost Fall, get to smelling like it at times, Fall is my favorite time of the entire year I think......and each year when I get to experience it, I feel blessed.  I am starting a new way of eating, and am loving it, can eat lots of food; mostly fruit and veggies, some Tofu and other good stuff.  Feeling so much better, and I am hoping to make this my change of life eating pattern for the rest of my life.  Really cheaper also, cause I find I don't eat as much.  Yeehaw. What a win/win/win.

My grand daughter now has her own apartment, her own space where she doesn't have to share with anyone, she can decorate the way she wants, or not......the transformation in her self esteem is great to see.  I'm glad.....she's extremely talented and that brings back memories of school for me.   We do talk a lot of art; and then watch any/all  cop shows available.  It's fun and I'm glad I can share in it.  Maybe that's why I'm here.......kinda think so.  I'm soooo  glad.

Thanks for reading; I wish you all the very best this day has to offer.  Take care.

FIRE

Fire is ravaging my old home town area.......many homes burned to the ground.  OMG.  My good friends in Upper County are okay, as are their animals. Thank goodness.

HEAT is ravaging this area in Vancouver......I SO do not like this kind of heat; not healthy for anything except lizards.  Thank goodness we have a pool so the tenants can cool off.  My cats are conked out in front of the fans, and we are all awaiting the arrival of the window A/C I ordered two weeks ago.  Phew !!!!!

My wonderful grand daughter is living with me for a little while, until her apartment is finished; and then for the very first time in her life, she will have a space of her own, such an empowering experience.  We looked at vehicles last night and so that will help her get where she wants to go, whenever she wants to.  I'm excited to watch this transition.....and blessed.  She's very very talented in graphic design; brings back so many memories of doing the same thing; but now my medium is fabric.  Yup, we be creative women here......

I'm grateful for each and every day I get to wake up and make more art.  And each and every night when I finally crash......I'm grateful for the day I had. I think it's called spirituality.  I love it.

Take care.

July 6th, 2012
OMG July 4th is over and quiet prevails.  Goody.  I'm a little backed up in the fabric art dept. so am putting in some long hours to complete projects being waited for.  Not complaining tho; I love it.  The weather is wonderful here in Vancouver, the best time of the year here.

end of May 2012

WOW.....I have almost enough art done to have a site dedicated to just that.  I'm soooo excited; I love doing art, and am grateful I have the chance to do so.
Am also hoping the weather will turn around and become the nice stuff we usually have in this area at this time of year.
