beads in bloom
smooth on a wrist . bowing on branch
while the blooms are now spent and wind blown
the bracelet remains in silver and wisteria
the tender journey of spring continues
twelve on thursday
to help by using your hands . embracing natural elements . relishing strength in a group
see art and craft pieces at Crafting for Courage in support of the children
simple bird . simple word a day early
this week I believe in a bit of black white and red
on an everyday table :: in a spring garden unexpected :: as paper is folded
I believe in sharing always . the simple stone and simple bird above will be given away
leave a comment to enter and I will draw one name for each next week
a preview
fit in the palm of the hand .. in the small corner of a desk .. in a giving heart
vintage paper with words of thanks ..wrapped around curves of wave polished stones

metal clouds & light
look up . as moisture laden wind whisper among silver metal
look up . as curves of iron and clouds remain wound together
look up . recalling deep notes that echo around glass and stone
a thankful heart among the elements each moment
I raise my eyes this day amid imperfect prose
Q & A
where does a broken kitchen chair belong ?
nestled in year round ivy and berries outside my window
what is a sure sign of spring in the wild yard?
tender growth cling to oaks reaching for light and warmth
this day . may you find space to nestle if broken . a place to cling if reaching
ten
imperfect paper heart . a spiral twig . string and textures .
in the shadows of each spoke .
looking at the unexpected . between years of friendship
palm of my hand
a pause mid stride to gasp at this stone resting upon the ground
now happily dropped into the depths of my denim pocket
soft curves . subtle colors create . balance . shadow . support . light . smooth
words on a page . mingle paper and stone . so we try . held in the palm of the hand
lining up stones . imperfect prose this day . held and loved
magic words
while not monumental these make me smile ...
"THANK YOU"
a very special painting from a gifted artist
"OPEN THE SUN ROOF"
driving downtown as the sun reflects turquoise
"HAPPY CHILDREN"
my oldest is in her element as an environmental teacher
"OUR TREE IS BLOOMING"
means spring is appearing in my back yard amid the branches

small collage created in 2009 . discovered in an envelope . recreated into curved words
a vintage doily wing . french and "a warm day" with twig . always a quirky garden
she is planning in earnest amid the hope for spring . a market bouquet transforms canvas
while around town blooms remain breathtaking . so glad you are here this day
