The New Year


Finished the year with a good walk in the sun and spotted ...these gorgeous mushrooms! I hadn't seen any in months. They made me so happy and reminded me of how much fun I had this year just stopping everything to look for them. Looking at the small things and finding delight.
I thought I would be asleep at midnight but woke up from a great nap just in time to toast in the New Year with my honey.
Although we have champagne and wine in the house we opted for some ginger beer to ring it in. Its a mix of laziness and amazing wisdom. No one likes to go into the New Year feeling like crap and I've successfully avoided hangovers all year so why go out like that? I'll save the bottle for my studio opening or small gathering of friends. Sharing is caring. I've become very responsible in my old age. 😛😂

Yesterday I hung up my happy bright panda piece. He will greet you on entering and exiting my house. He feels like good vibes and makes the place fun. HAVE FUN will be one of my mantras this year. Yes, I said mantras. Light some incense and get groovy.
Today is the first day of the New Year- which happens every day if you let it. I'm feeling like pouring abundance into the house and cooking up food for the week. Jalapeño cheese cornbread is going to happen as well as some traditional black eyed peas.
Then its studio time- getting things ready to ship tomorrow and working on some record art.
And READING- I didn't make any resolutions this year but set my intentions to READ more and direct my energy to more creative projects and music, etc.
Hoping everyone is in a good place right now and may your 2019 be all you desire it to be!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
