Getting into the groove.... a new schedule

Its been hard shifting gears again to a new schedule and getting anything finished, but I think I have got it. Until the unknowns happen anyway. Monday is my Day off! :) Yep that's right you heard it here first, My Day Off. I plan to take the phone off the hook and if you need me, find me. :) I watch the new baby 3 afternoons and evenings. I have 2 Studio work Days and 1 Family day. So that pretty much soaks up a week. I do my cleaning, laundry and such around the babet schedule.




Today, I may just spend some of my day on this watercolor I started and darken up the background before moving on with it, somehow aprons represent love and care to me, my grandma I guess.

I stopped working on this because something was wrong but I just could not see it yet, I think it is the background contrast, so I am going to make it more stark then go back to the Bluebird, clothesline Apron details and work them out more.





Tomorrow I need to Glaze........... waiting for me are some creations that have been sitting, waiting and waiting for Glaze.

Return to Pooh Corner

In my opinion this is by far the best music CD ever made for babies. And it is a pleasure as a parent to listen to also. 13 years ago when my son was born I purchased it and played it at nap times for him, recently with a Grandchild now to care for I searched out another copy and played it in the car on the way home, my son not really paying attention to what I was doing...gameboy... looked up at me smiled and said "Hey I remember this!" Then he actually allowed it to play all the way home, for a kid into Coldplay and other current bands that is quite a compliment to Kenny Loggins.

Creating Zen...

This is quite an accomplishment in a crazy world. This morning I am reflecting on the latest events in my life and am happy to report I have not lost my Zen moments while caring for everyone around me. :) Everyone seems to have adjusted well to the new itty bitty sweet baby filled with love and life recently brought into our home with her Mommy. They seem to be well on their way to a wonderful life together. My Mother is doing well so far after her surgery and is coming for dinner tonight. I have one large load of pottery in the second stage of creation and I am working on my watercolors again. I have had the chance to get in a few walks in the woods, and catch up on lunch or dinner with a few friends. We have had a weekend at the cottage and time with the extended family. All in all my Zen time has not been lost in the big changes we have made in the last 6 months. I am very happy to report I am back to creating and the home renovations that took away my time are done! Yay!! With that said in my Zen time, I have been looking into getting back my creative spark and ideas others have on this subject. I am compiling ideas and making a to do list to focus on. I will post some of them at another time, for now I am ready to go for a walk, take my camera and see what happens. :) I am Zenfully happy!
