because once you tap into the
creative, flow, the best doesn't exist.
It's about experiencing the magic.
It's about being in that place where
your heart is free.
It's about grabbing hold of the
intangible,
and making something beautiful."
~ Laura Jaworski
mornings with tea and wool.
,
Putting a huge dent in my
mountain of cantaloupes
by making preserves and
freezing a dozen bags to
be enjoyed this winter.
Playing with paints and
channeling my inner child
with oil pastels.
Picking berries, not only
to freeze, but so I can make
this. { It's freezing now.}
Taking it easy today with cups
of vegetable broth and my
favorite magazine. My issue
never arrived, but as soon as
I inquired about it another
copy was sent, arriving
yesterday. Thank you
Veronica.
My Mike smoked ribs for the
guys to eat, there are several
games being played, and I
have some knitting that is
waiting. Enjoy a beautiful
night my friends and
Happy Summer Solstice!

Weekending with Karen

Tracey you are so talented! I would love to paint & draw but think I *can't* so I don't try so of course I won't be *good* at it if I don't practice. I also don't want to mess up the supplies. I need to stop making excuses and just dig on in like my little one would do! I hope you have a good week <3

Sounds like all is good at your house Tracey. Glad you're living it up.
ReplyDeleteLove your artistic ventures! You are naturally talented! I had been trying some water colors for awhile. But not too good at it - LOL! But I had fun. I think I need to move into another medium - like acrylic paints....
