    A magical place

    magical placephoto assistantPrincess GracieI wish I had a time lapse of this journal page. It went through many different stages and colors before arriving at the finished product. This definitely made the background rich and with great depth.

    The words were an afterthought…but they fit just perfectly to me. When I rip pages out of my journals to reduce bulk, I often look for phrases that speak to me. I cut them out and save them for a future project. I never pick the words beforehand….always after I have set the paintbrush down.

    Whenever I go outside to photograph my art for the blog I have an assistant who likes to tag along.

    She really isn’t much help. In fact, she is usually a distraction as I must keep one eye on her so she doesn’t get into trouble.

    It usually works out best when she finds a nice sunny spot to get her daily dose of vitamin D.

    Oh, the life of a spoiled cat.

    Nature is so beautiful.

    After days of gloom and pouring rain, the sun has reappeared!  Seeing the sun makes all the difference in the world for my motivation and energy level.

    Now just in time for Summer…I’ve finished my art yarn scarf.

    After using 2 of the 3 skeins, I bound off and connected the ends of the scarf to make an infinity loop. I then crocheted along each edge to help it lay a little flatter.

    It will be so nice and cozy next Fall…but I’d really like to enjoy a bit of Summer before we transition to the next season.

    I finally moved in….

    …into WordPress, that is.20130128_1340 copy

    Please excuse any oddball entries, misaligned text or photos and any other anomalies.

    I transferred all my blog posts over from Blogger. I know that some of the formatting is a little wonky with those posts but I’m not worried about that.

    This is a good move. Starting over without really starting over. Like moving to a new neighborhood. It takes a bit of time to find your way around, develop those shortcuts and feel completely at ease but I know it will come.

    Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
