long gone...




it has been so long that i heard a creak in my little online space when i opened up here...i blinked and summer was gone, beach outings, friend meet ups, cub scout camps, swimming, stay cations, art at home...oh the list goes on...but the bottom line is that life goes by so incredibly fast (as everyone says) , and it is so true, so i lived in the moments as fast as they slipped by, i lived for each moment (some quite frustrating and challenging, i am honest for crying out loud), so that is my excuse for absence, but i am back...and in this time out, i have thought of blogging and of how i feel so small in the blogging world, how my little creative input seems very diminished in the shadow of so many others, but i digress, i do not want to compare...so where do i go with this space? i suppose to share a wee tidbit of creative dabblings...the good, the bad and the beautiful messes...got me?

so if you follow me or visit here, how about a shout out? i would love to hear from you and what you fill your lovely time with....warmth to you, as i have plenty to send it is flipping hot here in so. cal. in the countryside not far from the sea...go gently you lovely ones....

scenes of summer...

 these days i am, in the midst of some busy days, focused on taking in each moment and wrapping myself in being thankful for the little things...
 big dog kisses
 cobwebs under the stairs...discovered by a wee man 
 impromptu camping excursions...
 road naps...
 warm sand
quiet, calm afternoon sun...
 lawn boogie boarding
walks with friends...

what are some of your favorite summer scenes?

How are your spaces doing? Need some summer refreshing in your wee abode? Do it, you will feel so good and summer is a time to lighten up, so start by getting rid of all that you don't like, don't need, have doubts about, don't bring you happiness...well you get it, now go do it!

seeing circles...



it started a while back, unfinished......sat alone...unknown destination...varying colors and textures with no bounds...revisited this week, and i cannot spend enough time with her...she is a bountiful reprieve of colors and there is a calm that is coming out of it all...just like life...gets muddled and confused, feels like it is going nowhere, then gets shined up and the craziness gets erased and only the bits that matter shine through...
how's your week going? 
hoping it is colorful and what was not so clear is becoming more defined everyday...

just a wee reminder...


well..because you really do...
in case you don't know:
A sweet little reclaimed tile, this batch of tiles was scheduled to end up in the land fill, sad and alone to not experience a promising future...alas, I came along & scooped them up, gave them a new direction and outlook on life...to now share with you!
available here
now go 
rock your world!

and we all need to...
go gently and here's hoping you have warm sunshine on your shoulders and a cool breeze on your back...
