Discombobulated

Good morning my bbff,




I have not been creative and therefore have not blogged anything and when I do that ....let time lapse between post, then it is hard to open that door again. And please don't think me unappreciative of the blog awards. I get so overwhelmed with them that I don't know what to do. I am so honored that you think of me/my blog with such nice honors. I will do a proper post when I am put together better.





I have been spending some time in my yard, just walking around with the water hose and then some minor little accomplishment happens. Like moving a lawn chair from the garage back door to the Klimt patio. And then sitting down in the swing and thinking about how I need to make a nice colorful Klimt like pad for the seat. Fun. Maybe that is what I will do today, I have been feeling like doing something with fabric and I do need to mend that pink sheet. But I sat down at my desk and looked again at that journal page that you told me was OK to leave unfinished and I forgot what I was inspired to do to it to finish it up. I was reading a blog and saw a window that reminded me of another project that I was inspired to do a while back. I have two old "falling apart" windows in the garage and I was going to check and see if the size would work to "frame" the first two Sister painting prints. I will take a tape measure and check that out. I need to make a couple of napkin swap mail art envelopes. I received some more this week. Beautiful. And I need to paint a little class sample and write a short synopsis of that. Sorry, not in the mood for that. I just read blog that said she takes cue from her pets. ....when they want to eat, they eat, when they want to sleep, they sleep. when they want a drink, they drink.......I'll be thinking about that all day and I will go out and sit in the swing and watch my chickens. I want to see what they are doing when they want to lay an egg. And when I want to make ART, I will make art. Yesterday, I was looking for that picture of my Mother sitting on the bench and being beautiful. The one where she has a very slight little pooch and I had figured out that I was there. I found the picture but I did not find the pieces of the puzzle that I had already put together to learn of being there. That discombobulated me. That stack or pile of pictures are in a card board box along with my baby book and other stuff. I surely need to get that organized or at the very least in a proper acid free storage something. I got another store bought hair cut and I was going to show you a picture of that. As a matter of fact, I was going to start exposing my self a bit more here like maybe a picture a week for this whole year. I started that and thought to do that on "my day" but now I'm already behind. Discombobulated.
Enough,
Sharon

  6. Discombobulated.... A word I love. We all feel like that every now and then. It's OK. It means we need to stop, sit, and watch where the chickens lay their eggs; in other words, be and pay attention.

    I love those photos of your mother!

  12. I am there today. But if I am honest with myself, it is really because I know I have things that I am obligated to do(like really clean for company coming). Only, this is not what I want to do(I want to create). So, I get stuck in that 'limbo' land...Ok, I'm really, truly going to begin the dusting and free that from my mind! Have a great day!

  13. Being outside seems to be just what you need. I have just discovered your blog, and your art work is lovely, thoughtful, pensive and a little moody. How beautiful! I hope you feel better soon. Your mother is very beautiful. Roxanne

    Looks like you have emerged from the chicken yard now...this post made me think about my grandparent's large chicken yard. It was fenced in by tall thin cedar posts behind the house. The hens and (sometimes) mean roosters ran around freely, and I loved to feed them. Mostly I loved to gather the eggs from the chicken boxes though~"Be careful and look first before you put your hand in there...there may be a chicken snake in there!!"...and "Don't take out the egg with a big X on it, it is the laying egg!"
    Thanks for helping me remember this today =)
