a little sneak peek
So so excited to share this wee sneak peek of The Gift of This Moment!
I will be sharing more details soon, but I am so delighted by these postcards showing all the pieces of this project (which is really a home retreat kit) and simply had to share right now! Jen Lee is producing this project (and has gently held my ideas and hopes throughout this experience), and Liz Kalloch has made everything look so beautiful.
I can't wait to hold all the pieces in my hands and share them with you.
Over here: The Create Space classroom is ready, the students are gathering, and today I'm creating my personal altar I'll use and share during this session. Ellie Jane's new favorite game is asking me to put at least eight and sometimes twelve barrettes in her hair (and mine) at one time (evidence here). I'm planning to rest today as much as possible since a cold seems to have grabbed on to me during the trip home. Lots of mugs of tea in my future. I'm hoping a movie date might be part of our Sunday. (Seen any good ones?) The rhododendrons are in full bloom everywhere in our neighborhood (gosh how I LOVE them). I am filling a Smash journal with notes to myself (and using my new lovely Washi tape from Freckled Fawn and some fun designs I found from the Recollections collection at Michaels [can't find a link on Michael's site but found this great blog post about this new line of tape]). I am planning to begin The Best Day The Worst Day: Life with Jane Kenyon by Donald Hall while drinking the previously mentioned mugs of tea. And I know I will be soaking up the joy of hearing a little girl giggle as she dances with her daddy (life can be so so hard but joy still arrives when I choose to see it).
And what are you up to in your corner?
May your weekend be full of rest and joy and hopefully some time out in the sun...
Blessings and light,
Liz

I saw The Raven (about Poe) when it opened last week. I enjoyed it, especially the costuming and Jon Cusack, who I think is entirely underrated as an actor. You will enjoy it even more if you are familiar with Poe's writing.
Here:
-Making pineapple cheesecake for our family dinner tomorrow. (Having a BBQ, as our nephew is moving in with my son, so my brother inlaw and sister inlaw are helping him move to the coast from the interior.)
-Spending the afternoon today with Vivienne, at her double exposure workshop downtown. My friend Carol is coming with me.
-Fiddling with the frames on the 4 pieces I have in a gallery show which opens on Thursday. I have to string wire on the backs so they can be hung. (Not my fav job.)
-Swooning over my new Moo cards. I am so pleased with them. I keep opening the box and gawking at them.
You asked about the laminated sheets I sent Washi tape on. They are cast offs from a print shop my friend works at. I can send you some. :)
Wearing my Luminary necklace today!
oh my goodness, this is so exciting Liz! Congratulations. can't wait to hear more.
Oh! Liz! This is so exciting! I can't wait to learn more about this!
I remember being little and our grampa sitting still for us while we put a multitude of barrettes and pony tails in his hair. He was so patient and sweet. I also remember being so proud of our creations. It makes me smile to think of Ellie and you in a similar style.
