2. Posies for Your Weekend


I hope your weekend is going well so far! It’s been quiet on the blogfront which I, in an odd way, find a little thrilling because it must mean people are busy with summer plans.  I just wanted to pop in and say hello and share some flowers that are around our little house.  Nothing fancy but that’s how I like my bouquets for the most part.

I actually have a couple of sewing projects to show you (finally!) and corresponding modifications to go over.   But I’ve had a sudden and rather unwelcome recurrence of tendonitis in my left elbow which means I really should remove my person from the computer RIGHT NOW.   So I’m off to do some more sewing–at least I can do that!

3. Le Week-end

Bought peonies for the first time yesterday.  Aren’t they incredible?  They are the most beautiful things in the house right now.  I can’t stop smelling them and I even brought them into the bedroom last night so they’d be near me.  If friendly aliens from outer space came down to visit us, we should welcome them with peonies.

I’m not the only one enchanted by these flowers:

Here is Spoo Kee just before I shooed him away.  He likes to sink his kitty teeth into plants, the more fragrant the better.  The other day I found the most pitifully chewed up tea rose (from the garden) lying down on the mantle, OUTSIDE of its vase, due to this mischievous feline with an affinity for rosids.

Oh, before I forget to tell you, I’ve updated the vintage shop:

Have a wonderful weekend!

4. Blooming Tuesday: Home Retreat


A couple of times a year I take a long hard look at myself and take inventory.
I try to see what's missing, but mostly I feel something is missing.
The missing piece almost always turns out to be bankruptcy in self-care, a common theme for many of us. 
I feel I'm good at nurturing family and friends, (at least I hope so) and I know I'm very good at nurturing my pets.
So this week is for me. I'm going to limit blogging and emails to a few stolen moments here and there. I will eliminate phonecalls unless it's an emergency.
I will meditate daily. I will take walks and eat well.
And I will pour myself into long neglected painting projects.
At the end of the day I'll go to bed early with books that have been calling to me and I will probably fall asleep after two pages.
So friends, I'm not checking out.
I'm checking in, with myself ;)




Happy Blooming Tuesday!
Stay tuned for my latest painting from start to finish.
