these days...

i am reading this
and feeling overwhelmed at times and not sure where i am headed or what the heck i am doing...but that is just fine because i have these...
amazing wee ones...
 and i am doing this
 and risking..
 and making this
 and standing my ground (with myself)...

and being free (because of them)...
 and being free...because of me
how are you these days in your necks of the woods?

cooking to a beat...

Sometimes when i cook,  i listen to music...
who am i kidding, I always listen to music when I cook!
and when the sun is just right I dance while i cook to this music..it is a lovely time of day...

white is nice

Although I am a lover of color, every wall in my home is painted white, I am smitten with white as the perfect backdrop for anything, I like to paint the sides of my canvas' white no matter what colors i use on the front, I use a lot of white in my paintings these days.  I suppose it is my huge love of Scandinavian design, I cannot get enough white...it feels so clean, fresh and well, simple.



So, on that note it is time to simplify & whiten up my shop, so I am in the process of making the time to give my  wee shelves a whitelift (that's a facelift with white)...whattya think? do you like white as much as I do?

little is big...

It was unplanned, unexpected and unforgettable...that we got a puppy this summer.  This is because with 2 already very big dogs, it would not have seemed we would have had room/time/attention for another quadruped...but boy oh boy what we never realized was that was exactly what was missing from our pet situation! 


Meet Zeke, his personality is that of a quiet older gent, although upon greeting acts like a wild little man, he seems to regard himself as a rather large dog in a small dog suit and he lets it be known, he is quite confident and secure in his long, short legged body.  He cuddles like nobody's biz, but informs you clearly if he wants to be  left alone.  


It has made me realize that little can be so big at times and that there is a huge reserve of love just waiting to be unleashed and received.  So here is to small packages which bring joy, laughs, love and so much more! 
Hope your long weekend is going marvelously.
