Happy Thanksgivng

Whatever traditions you celebrate, whatever food you eat, whatever the holiday means to you, I hope you will take some time to reflect on the blessings in your life. Tell someone else how blessed you are; share the love and wonder. 

And don't forget the give thanks to the One who provided all those things. 

Happy Thanksgiving to you from me!

This is what happens when someone brings their colored pencils to work and leaves them on my desk....

I started out just doodling, 

but then decided to try a quick sketch of myself via a tiny hand mirror. 

I look old. 

: )

Happy Halloween!

Finished!

I finished this sweet little Charlotte Lyons sampler today!

Let's Paint!

Lots of things are getting painted around here. 

You might remember that I recently painted my white mantel expresso.  I am now trying to decide what color to paint the living room. I really want coral.  But, I'm afraid since it is such a bold color that it will be overwhelming because the room is rather large.  I might go with a rich latte color instead although the thought of latte makes me feel like I am just playing it safe. 

I've got a blue front door....which I don't really love.  I think the color needs tweaking. Maybe something darker teal. Or maybe coral!

And then there are the faces I painted this weekend with my new set of paints. I love bank holidays and long weekends!

Sunday Random

Why does the skin on my arm look so old?  I'm beginning to remind myself of my grandmother.  Yikes!  What a realization.

Why can't I get more done?  Why does it take me so long to begin and end a project?

Why can't I be a free spirit?  Life would be so pleasing.

Why can't I find an apple green sweater in my size?

What's for breakfast?

These are the things I'm currently pondering.....




Here are a few of my current life rules:

 When bored at work mug for camera.

Get around to painting your mantel according to plan....even if it is 6 or 7 years later.

 Watch adorable 3 and 4 year olds play soccer as often as possible.

Whoop with delight upon finding Little Golden Books for your collection that you have never run across before. Jump up and down when you see their price tags....$3.

Buy a vintage postcard just because you like the colors.

Worry about the house falling down....

Celebrate because now maybe it won't.  (the wood work around the door is yet to be painted...I picked out aqua for the door color....I'll let you know how that color scheme works for me once it's done)

Start  a fun new project to do on dark chilly fall nights while watching the network's fall line up of shows.  Anyone found a new favorite yet?   The Blacklist seems pretty good.
