It's All About The WHIMSY!

Nothing too fancy here today, my "world" is more contained post surgery.. but documenting my view this morning~Binx in action.

 

I'm just helping clean up Mom, really......

sleepy...

Reasons to Celebrate!

This may not look very dramatic but today is my first day in "real" pants!  Enough bandage reduction so I can fit my foot through the leg of my favorite jeans!   It's the little things in life, right?  Tomorrow the stitches will be removed and I will perhaps move into another fancy shoe.

 

Signs

of

spring

are

popping

up all over!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keeping busy with my trusty journaling bag and hand and trying my best to be patient through this healing process...

Each day is a step ahead...and I will put my best foot forward.

The view from here

Confinement continues, busy hands are making this much easier...I do not sit well, at all...

NME~Under the Influence~Chagall

I am jumping way ahead in the month but will be glad of it once I am free to move about.  There will be much housework to do!

Homage to CS Lewis~in my BIG journal...

one day at a time. 

Keeping busy, a list of sorts...

Due to the need for foot surgery to correct a bad bunion (all the joys of advancing age)...I am grounded for a few weeks.  Unfortunately I cannot use the stairs to my studio so my Flora Bowley class canvases will just have to be patient.  

I miss them..do you think they miss me?

But there are things I can do while couch bound:

1. 2012 NME journaling each morning.

 

 

2. Working in my "NME under the influence" journal..

 

This month Marc Chagall, last month Louise Nevelson.

Loving this class!

 

3. Surf the web and discover an artist whose work I LOVE!

Joseph Broghammer- fabulous!!

4. Spend some cuddle time with the menagerie.

5.  Next on my list~ I think the creation of a collage of all the beautiful shoes I'd like to wear once this boot is off!

More Playtime with Paint!

Another painting day with Flora Bowley

in her "Bloom True" on line class.  

 

Three canvases in various stages of layering...I admit I am jumping ahead in the class.  I had the pleasure of doing a workshop with Flora last fall so the process is fresh in my mind.  I am really enjoying this class and working in my own studio provides so much more time to pause and reflect as well as an infinite supply of resources.  And I have a deadline looming.  Surgery this friday will keep me out of the studio for a few weeks....no standing for hours playing.

 

 

Paint, paint, more paint...bubble wrap, great for mark making..

 

 A happy accident with drips!  I am learning.

Adding imagery in detail.

I hope you find time to play today.
