Halloween Treats

On those rare occasions, when it's the last minute & walk into a thriftstore to actually find a complimentary purple blazer to top off this outfit! Noah: "The very best Halloween of my life!"
Baby Dragon & Grandpa Dragon!
Kawai & Sarah our special treats.
Sarah & Noah are so very alike, especially hamming it up.

Handmade Pottery & Chunky Bracelet

Sarah and I went thrifting today. If you ever do this, you know it's shopping as random as it gets--and today's theme was pottery, pottery, and hey, pottery. This fun loot was purchased at two thriftstores for a total of $14. And to those creative people who created these: Laura, Dean, arc, Gabriel & Maria E., I thank you. It was a special day when you were in a pottery class body bent over to handcraft these pieces, no doubt it was an adventure. . .maybe it wasn't perfect, somehow they ended up in a Corona thriftstore. . .but they ended up happily to a couple of girls who appreciated the color & creativity. We appreciate the imperfect. I poured myself a cup of coffee in one of these mugs this evening and giggled because of the perfect imperfections, there's a comfortableness about someone's creative piece in my hands and home.
Made by Maria E., possibly my favorite of the day!
Did I mention that Sarah is a Master Ninja Bead Jeweler? She made me this chunky bracelet. I think Babysitting for Jewelry might be on my agenda!

Beginner's Sketches & Sarah Brings Kawai to Cali

Doodling when I can, in my 5x5 Journal Sketchbook.
And experimenting with watercolor.




I've been MIA. We have a homecoming to share with you. Sarah moved back to California with darling Kawai.

Every day is filled with activity. . .there is hardly a craft to be done! Grieve not self, there's a time for every season! All that arts and crafts will return as I'm never far away from what I love to do.

I've committed to a Bible Study Fellowship class this year and we are studying the Book of John, from September to May! Just another tidbit to be MIA.
