happy tricks

Happy Halloween
I picked out this costume,
but could only get it on up to
my ankle. Oh well, maybe
next year I'll have the body
of a 54 yr old
supa-halloween model.
Looks like no one eats
butterfingers in this house!

Here is a pile of birds to embellish
3 light fixtures.

My artist statement and portrait.

was half full- but occasionally slipping
into the pensive recluse.

I dip the little figures in wax.

Jewelry...black and white sketches
with a touch of red. Coffee stained

VW Van

Do you remember the
1963 Candyapple red
Volkswagon panel van
my better half
recently aquired?

Right now it sits in the garage and
we just admire it.
Maybe we should ...
... turn our little red
Van into a petting zoo
specialty...pigs.

I can look through my entire
reader of blogs and he will still
be engrossed in the Samba website.

cuteness

Is this
ADORABLE?
I can see this in my tiny house.

I think The most fun I ever
had as a kid was playing in
a cardboard house.
I liked to decorate even then.

This attic bedroom is
Cozy...warm...cuddly.

A make believe world.
That is what kids are great at
just living in the world they want.
I think I'll try that.
Actually....I'm on my way.

becoming grand

Wise women
a great visual diary
of women who have aged wisely.

I am working on this.
I wanted to show you a picture
of a woman who when you look
into her face you see years of wisdom...
to pass down to a grandchild.
BECAUSE....
I found out yesterday, I am
going to be a first time Grandma.

We all knew it was on the horizon, but when
it happens, your surprised. It is such
a blessing and a humbling experience.
I want to be a wise, fun, lovely to the
bone granny.


On the other hand,
my daughter-in-law is
miserably puking her guts
out right now. That little
baby, (the size of an olive)
is making quite an entrance
already....ahhhhh a grand child
after
my own
heart.

winter comin

My body senses
winter is on it's way.
I am sleeping more, eating more
and wanting cozy clothes and fires.

Tasha tudor collected and wore
18th century clothing.
Now there is someone who
lives their creativity.
I feel like that...when I put
the effort into it. I think we
express ourselves in many ways.

...what we wear....


...where we live...


...And how we choose to
change and grow...


I found these great images through

downsizing




Did I mention I have moved?
I am still recovering. Physically and emotionally.
I have heard moving is a very stressful event.
I am here to tell you...it is.

One of the reasons I decided to downsize is...
I am just tired of stuff. As a creative person
I seem to have more than the average amount.
So...I have filled a 10x20 storage space and a 5x15 storage space.
I intend to empty them both! Sell, give away, throw away.


Both of these images I found on...

I have moved into 230 square feet.
And my intention is...8ft. x 20 ft.
160 square feet and to be totally
self-sustaining.

Now I have my understanding partner
of 12 years he gets it, completely.
I am here in our very nice home half the
week. So really, since my fun and rewarding
job is 80 miles away, I just need a little space
to live in.
This is...
an adventure
a change
growth.
To let go of stuff.
Perhaps,
find myself.

clean it up

Since we last spoke my world has
a new outlook.
I decided to rent out my home.
I called a property manager on the 17th
of Sept. and she came out that day...I signed
a contract. She showed the house friday the 18th.
It rented.
I have been moving since then. I had to be out
by the 1st of Oct.
I have survived...barely.
So I am living rent free and
saving my money to build my little
home on wheels.
Where I am at....uh no shower
what do you think about this?

someone noticed

I have sat down to my blog
for the first time in 2 weeks
I found this!


I am just so humbled to have been found.
I love her blog and look at it frequently
because I have her in my reader.
I love that the world is getting smaller!
Thank-you geisslein.
