No, it’s not an art post, but I’ve got something else today. It’s creative, and I think it’s a sweet little piece of art, so perhaps I should have labeled this as an art post… Anyways, I whipped up this little clutch this evening and it was love at first sight. I’ve made bigger bags […]

I finally feel good enough to move around the house today, so I took these pictures too. These are the beautiful flowers Chris brought me for my birthday. I love the contrast of the pale pink against the green.

Today was my turn to have a birthday and it really was a wonderful day. It was a relaxing day with sushi and chocolate and yes- my very own birthday crown. There was; however, one small thing that put a bit of a damper on the day and it was entirely my fault. It was […]

So, this is another piece from several months ago. I started a painting this afternoon, but haven’t finished enough to post. I’ll try to get it up tomorrow. This one will have to do.
These are the shoes I wore for my wedding. I think I’ve only worn them once since, because they are so uncomfortable! […]

We’re having birthdays this week, and today was Chris’. We are five years and four days apart, so it’s pretty easy to remember each other’s… It’s become a bit of a tradition for us to make pineapple upside-down cake for both days, so that is what our stomaches are now full of.

I have started a new little project this week. I’ve been looking for a way to show art and music in one spot for people to come to for inspiration and ideas. I know lots of people who are artistic and musical but don’t really have a place to show their work. So I’ve started […]

I took this picture when we were out on Saturday looking at property. I pushed the warm tones in this and I think it feels very much like hot summer.
It has gotten very warm here now. The windows are always open and the sun stays with us until late in the day. It feels like […]

Today was a beautiful day for a drive. We spent this afternoon scouting out the area outside of town for prospective properties. We discovered that there is a lot of land for sale, and it is beautiful country. The top photo is what my dream home would be pointed at. These mountains are beautiful. Most […]

My piece today isn’t quite as finished as I’d like it to be, but it’s coming along. I bought these veggies because I knew they would be good subjects. They have beautiful, rich colour and texture. I’m going to spend a little bit more time finishing the piece of onion peel to the left of […]

We’ve been pretty busy with various projects and work-related activities this week. (Explaining the lack of land-search updates.) Tate was here for a couple days and we had a great visit with him. When we dropped him off at the airport we saw the new installation at the airport for the first time.
