a moment please

Another moment please, the window down, camera ready, I smiled and captured the lovely flowers that I had seen the other day. I was happy to see they were still open and waving merrily in the early morning breeze. It was meant to be, the car in front of me, was ordering yet another order. Sometimes the Universe has you in the right place, at the exact time, that you were meant to be.

Here is wishing you a grand start to a brand new week.

wicked 8.19

I love this time of year, especially the coming months. Those of you who follow along, know of my utterly obsessive interest in doing “October” art forms. I have begun again, I see it sneaking into my various “art” projects.

What has also claimed some of my attention, is fall allergies… We are really not anywhere near fall season, but the weather has been blowing up the country harvests and mites.. The air must be full of something that is not sitting well with my “system”.

Such is life. The stock pile of tissue boxes will now start to diminish. and the sinus and allergy pills will come out of hiding to be front and centre in my activity areas.

I have long accepted that having seasonal allergies is part of my life experience. Acceptance, makes it easier to do what needs doing, so that I sail through the season with not too many changes to daily life.

Monday 12

Monday morning greetings… I am revisiting some of the farms I have taken in the past. The big red heritage one in particular because I was out that way on the week-end. The construction has started now. Now we see bigger mounds of earth, as they rip out all the pastures around it to map out the streets that will be going in, and where the houses will be built. Already it is surrounded by big box store shopping areas, and a small mini golf course. There are all the convenience fast food stops as well..

The skies are still a beautiful blue, and stretch on for miles, but gone are the rows of produce and the beauty of wandering farm animals enjoying the sunshine and breezes.

I have been out driving back roads lately, had special events that were way out of the city, one along the St. Lawrence. A small town along Hwy 2 and the St. Lawrence, Iroquois. Small it might be, but it has a good restaurant(s), a small thrift shop, and a couple more interesting little shops. For me it was the drive along the secondary roads to get there. I took my time and drank in open spaces.

For button collectors, the thrift shop has big bowls of buttons you can go through and pick out how many and which ever ones you want. Fill a small cello bag for $1.00.

PL Calendar day 12 Be cheerful and carefree

Without putting on airs or trying to be someone you aren’t just be yourself. This will give people a good impression of you and things will move forward in the right direction.

prepping

IMG_20190809_083512_resized_20190809_083648683

Before working in a journal, the pages have to be prepped. Especially since I am a mixed media artist. I use different medium to work on the pages. I have had so many projects to work on the past while that I have lost track of time. I simply spend hours in the studio. This meant, pushing the Xmas cards to the back of the burner, while I prep* pages to work on them.

*work on the pages – doing backgrounds and then priming them with a Gesso that seals the page so the inks or paints won’t bleed when I begin working on them.

Life is the same. We commit to something then before we are done, something else comes up and we juggle. Choices pop up and we have to decide what is the best way to proceed. I reasoned that Xmas isn’t till December, BUT. I need to turn them in before the fall, so that the agencies can do what they need to do.

Am I procrastinating when I start something else before I finish another project? The PL Calendar for day 23 ( I know we are not where near the 23rd) ” Once you have set out to do something, it is your job. ” Job? I am retired !!! Then it goes on to say, Once you have accepted a task, don’t make any excuses, continue the job until the very end and make sure the outcome is something you can truly be proud of.

Written words and philosophies can be so confusing at times. anyone want to put in some ideas.views, give me something to ponder???

Winks at all her readers/friends…..honestly, I really am interested. Yes doing this blog this evening is a stalling tactic. =^_^=

Reminder Sunday, (August 11) service is at 10 a.m. we will be doing the Ancestors’ Day ceremony. See you all there!

itching palm

IMG_2584 updted, missing bottom inch

My Mother used to say, an itching palm means you will be favoured with $ and/or something pleasant. YAY. if I am not to sleepy from the allergy meds, it will be fun. Another Mother memory is she said ear lobes can grow longer when you age. Mine have!! Message to self, you still have lots to learn.

PL calendar day 9 It is interesting because it’s different

Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “This is the way it has to be,” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

My husband used to tell me that saving 50% was not a big deal, he would be more impressed if I learned to save 100% .. Subtle … you think!! I am still working on this one.

Smiles and waves.. love and love and love.

sister project

Something neither one of us had done before. Painting on wooden what nots. A nice quiet activity, but with results that will leave a lasting memory. Fun. Having been to Holland, my sister picked the tulips. I have seen these wooden pictures in the stores, just never thought to try doing something with them. There is a light in each one. A very different look when seen at night with the light in the back.

Anyone else given these little wooden what nots a try? If yes, post a picture, it would be delightful to see your “vision”. I noted the Halloween ones are out now. Do I dare try spooky 🐱

PL Calendar day 6 Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation.

Always remember that you are here today thanks to God, and thanks to the many people around you. Lets make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

I used distress oxide sprays (Ranger) on the night scene, with acrylics both metallic and regular paints.

Spaces, there is always a place, just right for meditation

find a space, where you can sit, reflect and contemplate,

BE your own best friend, LOVE will never end.

The Universe is everywhere,

there is no where you can BE without being part of the Universe

.. find a place, …. meditate

start today, make time for YOU every day.
