Summer2

This summer is flying by and I haven't posted in a long time. Life is good and busy. There are alot of projects in the works. I have been working on some websites, taking a class making glass beads(lampwork) wow working with molten glass is a trip. of course that leads back to making jewelery again...a show at Udderly Delicious come November, joined Artisan Women of Worcester and the kids go back to school in less than 3 weeks. The pace of the summer has been a quick steady march through time and yet I still have had time to watch dragonflies mate, a white dove arrive and hang around for several days, soak up the hot sultry sun while swimming in the lake. Life is exactly what we make of it. Enjoy the rest of this summer and I will be back soon.

Summer

We have moved down to the family camp for the summer. It has been raining so the mood has changed. Last year was so wonderful and I am waiting to recapture that feeling. This weekend should be nice and I look forward to all our family and friends joining us for our annual Fourth of July celebration. Have a safe holiday!

Turbulant Weather

We ride through the turbulant weather
with a heavy heart.
Through the doubt we arise
and concour our fears.
For the wind carries us to new heights
and life continues to surprise us.

Summer has just begun and the promise of lovelyness is upon us. Let us not waste a moment of this precious time. Go out and enjoy that warming sun, smell those fragrant flowers, feel those gentle breezes, dive into the water and emerge refreshed, rejuvinated, and relish in the feelings of summer.

Indie Weekend

Rain Rain go away come back another day Dawn and Sarah want to play.
Well the rain came and went and came again and again and again.
Well my first craft show in a long time and it rained off and on all day. But the GREAT thing about this is that I did some artwork, had a tarot card reading for the first time, met some fantastic people and will be joining Artisan Woman of Worcester. At the end of the day I traded for this wonderful umbrella made by Sarah along with a handpainted silk

scarf and other wonderful treasures. Check out this wonderful shelf unit I used for display! $5 bucks at Goodwill in Boston!!! Gotta love the colors and the little ball magnets that David bought me to hang the necklaces on!!! LOVE IT!!!
After the event we went out for Indiam food my favorite. Unfortunately when we got there it was closed so we opted for Sushi. Although I tried some it is definately not my favorite food. Oh well adventures come in all sizes and shapes.
When I arrived home Tyler lost his first tooth, gotta love that dirty face mr. popsicle man. and the tooth fairy brought him $10.00 for his first lost tooth. Holy moly take my teeth tooth fairy. So life is wonderful, life is good, let that rain come and fill the lake. creatively dawn

God BLESS America

Memorial Day has come and gone. We marched in the Grafton parade as Girl Scouts. Then after a fly by and wonderous ceramony we went clothes shopping for some much needed attire. Then on our way to camp we sat for 45 during the Manchaug ceramony. Of course Manchaug is a subtown of sutton and has maybe 100 people that live there. But none the less off to camp we made it and took a relaxing boat ride with some wonderful company and the kids actually behaved. Life is good. No artwork this weekend but this week will be getting ready for the 1st Indie Arts & Crafts Festival. Hope to see ya there. If not I will be working on opening a store on Etsy to sell my wares. Hopefully I can get to it in the next couple of weeks. Creatively Dawn.

Long Weekend

Here is a sneak peak of a piece I am working on.
It is the start of the long weekend and I'm hoping to get some artwork done. I keep looking at different blogs and get inspired by all the honesty and artwork out there. We need to remember to live each day and not just think about the day or the next chore. Our minds need silence and meditation is a great way to do this. I hope that you find some creative time and quite time this holiday weekend.

Well today was a bright and sunny day but chilly. Just came home from t-ball practice and warming up with some hot tea. My great friend Mary has a blog now and it is such a cool project. She worked on a cow for the Boston cow project so go check out her cow! Go Create! Dawn

Dream a little dream...

Inspired by a blog
I came up with this photo montage from the pictures I snapped in Boston on Friday. Hanging out with great friends is always an inspiration.
Enjoy the weather whatever it may be

Thinking Thursday

Can't wait to spend the day with my college friends Tony and Mary tomorrow!
then I'm taking mom to see the DaVinci Code for her mother's day present
a full packed day to bring about the creative in me.

This is a picture from Mother's Day. The highlight of the day was when David took us waterfall spotting. We saw at least 4 differrent sights and after what a week of straight rain the water was flowing, but THANK YOU GOD not in our basement.

Have an Abundant Day

FLY

Oh to fly away
long and hard
to a new world
In the hands of the child
we see...

Blinded by the life we live

only to be abandoned in the murky waters
saved by the white angel of rain sheding her tears
lonly she leaves this world etched in stone.

So life moves on and we all connect in one way or another. My good friend Tony has come home to visit from California and we all went to the cookout. Then to Udderly Delicious to listen to Owen Plant.

Home again I sit and type looking for inspiration.
Listening to Indigo Girls Retrospect

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL MOTHERS OUT THERE!!!

sleepy saturday

I feel like I can't get out of my own way today...
Alone with the kids and Joey slept over so wasn't motivated. This I think is a crash from all the creative energy going this week.

A little play time, and hope the crackle method works...
enjoy and go play

Spiritual Spring

I love spring... everything is coming alive again including myself. My great friend Jessica took my Mini Quilt workshop and is now cranking out the mini art quilts. You inspire me! Cinco deMayo is here and what a better way to celebrate then decorating the office. Check out Nomad in Boston for all your Mexican decorations.

Life is but a dream

do do do do do dum de dum la la la la
Life is good... What a wonderful day we had yesterday at Lisa Martin and Brad's house. It was euphoric with the sun shining, peacefulness, good food and friends.
I'm noticing I've been seeing a lot of birds and looking up to the sky. I bought some extra memory for the digital camera and now snapping pics left and right.
create and have a great day

Closer to Fine

Taught my first Mini Art Quilts workshop and it was fantastic. The students were great and the energy high. I'm going to teach another on May 27th 3-6pm at Udderly Delicious. Also went to dinner with two dear friends and caught up over scrumptious salmon. Afterwards, went back to the "big pink house" and listened to Owen Plant who rocks out. Inspiration abound!

Dr. Wayne Dyer says "Don't die with your music still inside you," and I've taken this to heart. There is a part of me that has been pushed to the back burner for long enough. I've choosen this to some extent, but now the true to myself me is pushing it's way out and it is time to live the life I've dreamed of.

That is why I am up at 5 am with boundless creative energy.

Welcome to the new world of blogging! I am finishing up my show at Udderly Delicious in Oxford MA and will be teaching a class, Mini Art Quilts, there April 29th 3-6pm.

I am new to this blogging thing and thought it would be fun to try. I have been inspired by Karen Michel , Nina Bagley , Lesley Riley as well as, some personal friends. It amazes me that there is a whole world of creative people out there keeping in touch through blogs. Above is a recent piece of art work "FLY". At this point in my life I am remembering how to fly and to spread my wings. I have distant memories of doing this and i'm focusing on remebering how to do this. A journey, new beginnings and the like. be well
