Settling In

I'm still "nesting" and settling into the new apartment; our new home, with fabulous views! A friend came over yesterday and hung a floating shelf in the office/art room. I've hung all the paintings and family photos; so nothing remains on the floor. I just cannot seem to produce anything worth publishing. I do have ideas it's just the excutation of these ideas that seem to be out of my reach. However, I have made some delicious Florentines, inspired by the Great Britishing Baking Show! I'm meeting a friend later this morning, trying to get to the gym oh and get the stew on for dinner tonight! I'm working at the store all day tomorrow and Thursday is set aside for golf. A few blogs ago I thought I was ready to just dive right in and get painting and was really excited. Gosh, the weeks just seemed to escape or rather disappear into thin air! I feel slightly over scheduled even though I'm not...maybe it's how time speeds up as one gets older? Hmmm I will spend the rest of the week to ponder this theory....

Until next time...happy creating

Fall Is Here

We are well into September now and the air is crisp and clear. Although, just now a fog has literally just rolled in! So a walk in the park is in order today.

Oops!

I was visiting my granddaughters in Vancouver and my six year old granddaughter noticed that "Pappy spelt little Frances' name wrong"! 

Mommy fixed it!

Returning

We have packed, moved and unpacked! Oh and yesterday was my birthday! Am I making excuses? Kinda of. I am really loving our new space and trying to solve all sorts of storage issues not to mention the "whole art room/guest room" and how this space will function effectively. What I am basically saying, is that all my creative energy is going into other areas around "settling in"! 

This is all I can offer today!



Until next time....happy creating

Back To School

First day back to school for most children across Canada including my granddaughter who is entering first grade!

Maybe I should hit the books....sketchbooks, art books, art magazines, pencils, paper...loads of different papers, paints all in gorgeous shades!

Until next time...happy creating

Still Unpacking

I'm still unpacking my art room and art supplies! As a result there will be nothing creative happening today.

Keys...or No Keys

We are currently waiting to pick up our new apartment keys and receive a locker number. Unfortunately we have had the 10 am appointment diverted until 2 pm. Until we have the keys in our hand I'm not holding my breath. As the the delay was because of applicances being delivered and we would really like to have refrigeration and all the applicances completely installed before we move in.

I've spent today thinking about keys......this is all I could think of creating with limited supplies...



Until next time...happy creating
