journals, art and
Good morning, Bom dia… How are you all, this lovely Friday morning. The teasing aroma of simmering pork riblets is wafting in from the other room. Ahhh another day begins.
What you see is another start-up collection of journals, I have gathered them and put them in one spot. The couple that I am currently working in, are still in my atelier. According to the Oxford dictionary (yeah hey guys, remember the dictionary, hard cover with actual pages) a journal is a newspaper or magazine dealing in a particular subject. A daily record of news and events. A diary.
Mine are mostly art journals, prior to the art journals I was having fun in “junk” journals. The art journals allow for me to play with my paints, and inks, experiment with various techniques, and truth be told, play around and have fun with medium that allows for visual expression.
This spatula is a fun tool that I found at DeSerres the other day. I have used it now in my ways, I amaze myself at how much fun I can have with one new addition to my tool box. Had it not been on sale, I would have passed it by, it had a red sticker, and I was checking out the sale items.
That happens all the time, we are so focused on looking for what we are wanting or think we want, that we will miss other gems along the way. That day I was inspired to bend down to check out items below the usual area of my search and find gaze. It is amazing what we can find or discover when we let go of “patterns” and try something different.

A bed lump happens when your dog insists on helping make the bed. Eventually I made it around and over her. All I had was a lump, but then she got out, and left me with this. 
Before I could straighten up the mess. Her brother took over her job of helping. There he is calming cleaning himself up after his breakfast. No hurry to move, and not concerned that he could be delaying my progress. For my readers who share their homes with four-legged bundles of energy, you know that it is often such moments that can be endearing or…. trying on one’s patience.
This precious handmade hamster, makes my heart sing. She puts a smile in my heart just by sitting there smiling back at me.
The last few days have been difficult for me. I have found myself drifting into a state of “low drive and little interest ” When I could I retreated to my bed, the quiet of a darkened room and the desire to sleep. My sleep mates were only too happy to crawl under cover and enjoy time out from the weather that was raging outside.
I am so blessed. The Universe always comes through for me, when I allow myself to stumble, my friends are there reminding me, that LOVE, is always with me. God is Love, Love is GOD and we are all ONE
It has been snowing now, all day. At least it appears to have been snowing since early this morning, it could have even snowed over night.
Temperature has been nice. The few times I went outside to let the dogs in or out, I found it to be very pleasant.
Some how I do believe they are hinting. Will the human take the hint? One of life’s mysteries.
