Moments...




I love that my granddaughter is now
behind the lens of a camera like her Mama!
This week she and Mimi were rocking fun 
shoes and we both felt impelled to take
'shoe shots'!
[her feet are tiny, 
mine just happen to be 
further away from the camera]

It's been a big week for me!
I submitted the above design
'Blossom'
to a local art showcase.
The show was celebrating the
Divine Feminine and 
was scheduled for the
night of the 'Pink Moon'.
Called this as pink flowers bloom at this time, magic!
I was beyond thrilled to have my work
accepted and to be a part of this wonderful showcase.
All local women
exhibiting their work along with
two local songstresses 
and an amazing woman who preformed
'spoken word'. 
It was a night I'll remember always.

My friends and followers know me ...
I had more than one person bring the above 
picture to my attention.  Wish I could give credit
to the originator of this perfect picture.
I had seen this and well....
see below.

Hmmm .... I had an entire paragraph and it just disappeared!
.... and it was pretty great too.
 .... onward ...

The picture inspired me to create a
'Tent stitch only' piece.
I need what I title a 'no brainer' going all the time.
Something I can work on and not
have to think about what I'm going
to do here and there or ...
how will I write this so all can understand it!

I was asked today what this was called.
The above is a 
smaller version of what I finished today.
The words below it read ...

'always believe that
something wonderful
is about to happen'

So, introducing ...

If you follow me you know I participate
in a group called

'4 Squared Makers'
We put on small pop up art shows often.
Anyone can 
join us for a fee of $30.
You'll receive 4 - 4" square blocks

of unfinished wood with hanger attached.
You're given a 
theme and can create
whatever type media on your blocks.

Next month our small original works of art
will be on 
display at
Hillcrest Coffee House
in Lakeland, Florida.
You can follow us on Facebook for more details.
Each piece of original art sells for $45. 
My three so far for this show,
there is another sweet 

little bird in the works for my set this time.
