    Feeling inspired

    Ever have a day and you wake up feeling inspired? That was how I felt this morning. I popped out of bed, started coffee, had a little quiet time and yoga. I headed off to the basement with my mind set to create.

    time slips away

    I wasn’t planning on using this journal but since it was prepped and ready to go with the background that was speaking to me at the moment…I went forĀ it.

    prepped journal

    As I started painting in green…my muse said…nope. Turquoise is the color of the day. I covered up the green and was pleased with the subtle shading the layers had created.

    The page came together so quickly…I was amazed.

    teadyed lace

    The last little accent I added was a bit of tea dyed lace. I carefully cut around the medallion. It was perfect for the spot.

    I don’t often get really excited about my pages but this one has me smiling!

    T Tuesday: Something’s brewing edition

    T stands for Tuesday rolls around more quickly each week it seems. Think it’s possible that our hostess Elizabeth is speeding up time? Yeah…probably not happening.

    This week my Tea is not for drinking… I’m just dye-ing to show you what I’m doing. *teeheehee*

    Tea dye

    My supplies are simple…old package of 6 tea bags that I’d never drink. Scraps of linens, lace and ribbon. Glass bowl. Boiling water. And time.

    toil and trouble

    Bubble, bubble toil and trouble. And now we wait…

    I’m heading for a brisk morning walk with a friend.

    What are you doing today?
