wondermoon


Hello lovelies! Can you believe it's already the end of January? I love that the days are getting noticeably longer. I think I start to notice it right after the solstice but maybe that's just me knowing it's suppose to. We have had sunnier days the last couple of weeks but it's still cool enough for scarves and boots.


I missed visiting my favorite places while I was away from blogland so I'm slowly starting to catch up and dropping in to visit some of you here and there. It still amazes me how so many of us have been able to form friendships and build a community through our blogs. I know that for me blogging has been a blessing that's allowed me to share my dreams and to also be inspired by yours.


Creating has always been a way for me to escape. Whether it's stress, boredom or yes...housework! Meeting lots of you that feel the same way is truly the best part of blogging. I feel that we are all kindred spirits gathering under a big magical tent, sharing hugs, tears, glitter and dreams.


Although I recently went through a low period that kept me away from both my art and my blog, it was these same two things, along with your support, that has helped me find my way back. And it feels good to be able to go to this magical place under a wondermoon to play with you again.


I hope the first month of 2012 has been a good one for you. Are you keeping your resolutions? If you decided to be healthier this year please keep it up. I am finally starting to feel and see results from my commitment to be better about taking care of myself and it's so worth it. I feel better and it has helped my outlook on everything so please stay strong and don't give up!

I'll see you out there under a wondermoon....


two years and counting

Cupcakes.

Yes cupcakes. That was the first thing I started blogging about two years ago.
And much to my surprise I'm still here!


I've gone from cupcakes to art and everything else in between and I've probably shared more than anyone would want to hear right here on my little bloggy.


I celebrated my two year anniversary yesterday (the 22nd) and in honor of the event I spent the day painting while the sounds of football and tortilla chips filled the air.


You can see that Petunia is all grown up and today she's ready to celebrate, dream and as always, ready to find her bliss in her brand new party dress.


Shhhhh...she's also going on a little trip in her cupcake wagon.
I hope she doesn't lose her balloon.


Happy Monday and Happy New Moon my dearies!



waiting to bloom

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on your word for 2012. I love reading about what inspires you and why you decided on your word. I also want to say thank you for all your warm wishes and encouraging words. They mean the world to me.


I'm slowly finding my way back to my paints and brushes (under a thick layer of lint and dust that gathered on my work table) thanks to your support and most especially to the awesomely talented, amazing and magical Marfi who never gave up on me and gave me just the right kick when I needed it. She rocks!!

I still painted while I was away from my blog but the art that came out was dark and sad. This weekend I felt so much more hopeful and when I created this piece my son actually said it was nice to see me paint something happier for a change!



This is a self portrait in a way.

Much more hopeful, ready to dream again and patiently waiting for my heART to bloom.

♥

Stay inspired and have a beautiful rest of the week.

Oh and by the way I think I picked my two words for 2012....
FORWARD and FROSTING!
