snapshots taken throughout this most lovely day, from some early morning alone time through all the makings and happy good things, and ending with yet a few more quiet moments alone.
from me to you + from our home to yours, sending warm wishes for a most happy day of thanks. life is good. celebrate. where ever + when ever + how ever you feel like it. enjoy it. xoxo
last summer i was thrilled to have been contacted by the editor of artful blogging to compose a piece for the Winter 2010 issue. it was a completely wonderful experience from the inner work of self-examination and writing, to selecting the photos, and working with the editor along the way.
and i have to confess, i squealed more than just a bit when it quietly arrived in my mailbox. and to find my piece nestled snugly among other artists + bloggers whom i admire provided further inspiration and delight. everything - from the way it was compiled and arranged and formatted - is beyond artful, and i truly feel honored.
and yes, i was not the only one who was a giddy - a certain high-pitched voice from the backseat of the car as we sat in the driveway paging through the issue said, "hey sissy! we're in a magazine!" oh, how i love my little rock stars.
my sincerest thanks to artful blogging for this opportunity. as i read back through my piece today, it resonates so deeply with where we are right here right now - something i could not have known about 6 months ago when i wrote it, but thankfully has been in my heart + soul all along.
:
and friends, thank you ever so much for your supportive notes and gestures this past week. i feel rejuvenated by your spirits and inspired to live every day to its fullest. i pretty much tried to do that before all of this, but i'll gladfully embrace my situation as a reminder rather than a wakeup call. warm wishes to you + yours! xoxo

crisp air. endless skies. blazing hues. pumpkin goop. hay-filled playgrounds. corn mazes. apple everything. horse-drawn wagons.
togetherness. xoxo
i couldn't help myself, everything looked so pretty.
reframing and arranging favorite prints, photos, textiles and ceramics. and placing much needed tools at my fingertips.
a new configuration of inspiration boards in the form of ikea cutting boards + a shimandsons pinstrip. inspired by rachel to use something non-traditional.
removing completed projects from my bulletin board, in turn creating space for what is yet to come. me thinks cleaning out a creative space is a good thing.
:
i have a few things to wrap up this month - that quilt up there tops the list - so i'll be popping in and out with photos of our days along the way. and of course, a good recipe or two. and maybe a craft project here and there. and some very cool news. wait a minute, how is that stepping back from blogging for a short while?
enjoy your days! xoxo
xoxo
enjoy your weekend! xoxo
