Mood

I think this is how I am feeling today. A little scared, haunted, afraid of the unknown, mysterious, still, reflective, with a hint of beauty in the blurred lines.

All I Know Is....

All I know is...

• Opportunities only arise when you get the energy moving. Show the universe you are willing to move forward and it will light the path.

All I know is...

• Cool nights after long hot summer days renews my spirit and fills my heart with promise.

All I know is...

• Soft kisses on my husband's forehead before I leave for work sustains me through the day and gives me a deeper understanding of what is truly important.

What do you know?

Do you like this? I am thinking of making it a weekly post.

The Blues

I decided to add this original painting to my shop. It is a unique piece. Wood burned, painted with casein paints and embroidery added for a special touch. It is the first original piece I am offering for sale. Gulp, am I ready to let her leave the nest?

Bird on Thistle

I decided to play with Acrylic paint this weekend. What do you think? I am not sure if I am going to offer it as a print. It was fun to experiment though. Sunday is almost over... are you ready for the work week?

To Print or not to Print?

I am thinking about adding this print to my Etsy shop. What do you think?

I AM the fragrance of the flower.

An affirmation and new photograph for you. A print of this photo will be available in my shop soon. I really like the way this photo turned out. The colors are yummy aren't they?

Big Toad

Meet big toad! I know, we could have been more inventive with his name but... well... look at him! Big toad is the perfect name. Imagine our surprise the other night when we found him perched on my stacked rocks on the front porch. I love how he is plumper then the rock he is sitting on. He is the King of his domain.

It's Official!

My Etsy shop is up and running! Yikes! I am nervous, I have no idea what to do now. Maybe I will place a test order to see how things work. Scared! So many thoughts and emotions running through me right now. I am just going to hope for the best. There is still a lot more to do, I need to figure out marketing and would like to get my website up.... small sweet steps right? Well, check out the shop and let me know what you think.
