my week in pics (and a little inspiration)
It's been a busy, discombobulated week and I'm excited for the weekend. Excited because Jeff will be house/condo/loft hunting tomorrow in Cincinnati followed by lots of time spent at home in Atlanta. Then we'll have time with friends followed by his move to a new city and, finally, my trip to settle in to the new place. Whew!
I'm excited because this will be a more permanent move for us - a smaller place. So, I gather items, such as dishes, paintings, etc. for our new home - whatever and wherever that may be.
In addition to being a hunter and gatherer I worked in the studio where, I have to admit, my mind wasn't focused. I walked in, was completely overwhelmed, and walked out. Whatever I made didn't hit all the marks. As a result, I got a couple of expensive rejects (I always carry the rejects - okay, not ALWAYS) Ever had one of those weeks? Again, my mind is elsewhere.
So, I am lured to drawing and painting - a meditative activity.
Spent time with Sophie, my constant companion, as she rolls in the tall grass,
spots something
and pounces.
Anyone know what this weed/flower happens to be called?
So, because I'm thinking new place, new ideas, storage,
and if you're looking for something to organize your lady things...
I think these are all quite doable.
3. stack scarves into an apothecary jar - brilliant.
Hope you're inspired.
What's on your plate for the weekend?
Those flowers look like passion flowers (passiflora). Have a look at the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passiflora.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and I'll sew a doll blanket and pillow for my cute niece. It's her birthday next week. Plus having BBQ with some good friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kokopelli! It grows wild around here - appropriate name.
ReplyDeleteI hate weeks like that where nothing goes right, but it looks like you had fun with Sophie. Mom and I have plans, whether they all get done who knows. Saw, saw, saw because of show and we want to submit a piece to the Lark Book 500 Necklaces and mom wants help painting her bathroom (mom is on an updating spree in her house). Plus if I can keep her sitting down as much as possible I will help all she wants - even mow her grass. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a week!!
ReplyDeleteyes that is a passion flower, one of my favourites, how lucky you are to have them growing wild x
Love the burlap and handle idea.
ReplyDeletePS Sophie is gorgeous!
