It Looks Like A Tornado Came Through Here
Dorothy can't be far behind. At least, if I'm to judge by the way my office- studio looks at the moment. It's scary.
Really.
Truly.
Scary.
You don't believe me? This is just one pile. I will preface this picture with this fact: I am my father's daughter. (Right Mom? Right Dad?). I simply don't work in the most 'organized' fashion. Let me also say, that doesn't mean I don't get things done.
Now, usually by the end of the day things are looking better than this.
However, that isn't happening of late.
I present to you a close up of another pile, and ask you to consider the proof.
You know when you can't even think straight because everything is turned upside down? Yes? Ah. Thank goodness I'm not the only one.
I have to tackle the mess that is my little corner of the world before I can accomplish anything else on my list. Please, wish me luck. If you don't hear from me in the next couple of days, somebody send a search party.
Inspiration In The Most Unlikely Places
Lo and behold, even in the midst of my nightmare of a mess, there lies inspiration. I was lucky enough to come across melonheadbookmarks
last week on etsy. Melonhead is a wonderful little shop run by Hailey, who opened her store this past summer at the ripe old age of 10. Don't you love her already?
Well, I fell in love with one of her book marks.
I think she's quite an artist with a fantastic eye for color. The bookmark is now mine, but others are available. I think it's too pretty to hide in a book. At the moment it is on my inspiration board (if you can call it that, it's really just a catch all, but soon-to-be-inspiration-board).
Those colors just make me smile.
See what I mean about it not 'looking' like a true 'inspiration board' quite yet?
Well, it may not 'look' like one, but it is already serving it's purpose which is to inspire, right? Hailey's use of color inspired my latest illustration 'So is love'.
Very cool being inspired by the art of a talented 10 year old.
Other Happenings 'Round The Estate
It snowed last night. The weatherman must have known about my 'glittering prize' post the other day.
It sure looked pretty this morning.
I love it when it covers the stone wall just enough -- so you can still see the stone wall.
The dog loves it when he can play in it, and then come back in and sleep in one of his favorite spots.
Lucan couldn't even muster up enough energy to care.
Let alone open his eyes all the way.
That's what's happening in my world, what's happening in yours?
Freeform Friday
A little Hal Ketchum. What? You don't know Hal Ketchum? What? I haven't told you we have a very eclectic taste in music? Punk, classical, rock, reggae, pop, and opera are all in our collection. So is Hal. Just love this man's voice. If you're reading via email, click here.
Have a fantastic Friday and an even better weekend. Got any plans?
Later gators,
