Now that my summer holiday is coming to a close, it's time for me to get back into that  "work mode."   But before I do, I have a few more days to savor and I look forward to some creative time. I've been "itching" to do some sewing, painting and collage this weekend. Does this happen to you when you've been away for awhile?  I'd also like to send a big THANK YOU to all of my followers, your comments mean a lot to me and I always look forward to reading your messages and visiting with you. Hope you're enjoying your Days of Summer wherever you might be. Becca 

Spending time with family... An 80th Birthday... Morning walks... Late night talks... Hearing the rain in the distant trees minutes before it arrives... Picking flowers for Grandpa... Remembering how to play "Go Fish"... Memories to last a lifetime... Still 2000 miles from home.  Thank you for your comments,  I have enjoyed reading them while I'm away. I'm still trying to get around to visiting all of you! Wishing you a happy week.  Becca  

Welcome Bloggers!  My art room is actually our guest room that I've managed to fill every extra nook and cranny with inspiration and my art.  Here to greet you are my two studio cats,  Shatzie and Fetzer. Hurry and grab a seat before Fetzer beats you to it!  Along this side of the wall I've managed to squeeze in 2 computer desks and a lot of my stuff. As you can see, my "workspace" is small, so I try to stick to smaller projects. The only problem is, I like to "dabble" in a bit of every media, therefore it's easy to run out of space.  So, what I try to do is utilize my small space by storing my supplies in plastic bins in my closet.  I am so lucky to have a MIL that when she visits she doesn't mind hanging her clothes on a hook on the door. :-) I am always on the look out for interesting containers to store art supplies that are "out in the open." Some of my favorites are vintage tins, and Ball jars.  Vintage sp

Pike Place Market Seattle, Wa This is such a fun place to visit in Seattle. I love the hustle and bustle of the market on a beautiful day.  So many colorful flowers year around! We don't have this kind of farmers market where I live. I still say that if I lived in Seattle I would be at the market every weekend buying flowers and fresh seafood. It's also a coffee drinkers paradise. Even saw some veggies I've never heard of... ...loved the lights in the wine bottles... The market after hours... ...birds looking for left overs...  ...until the next day at the market. Do you have a farmers market where you live? I'd like to hear! Hope you are having a nice weekend. I'm off to do some cleaning and laundry with a little bit of "creating" in between! Becca
