:: jumping into a new week ::
The weeks are just flying by already... it seems hard to believe that I start back to classes tomorrow!! *sigh* My little "hiatus" from school was fun, but I knew it would come to and end sometime. hehe!
Look what the postman dropped in my mailbox today! This sweet little pink, mouse brooch from the always-whimsical Marjorie!! I’m so delighted with her--I can’t wait to wear this with my green and pink cardigan refashion. Though my Mr. Bunny pendant (also from Marjorie) will have to vacate his spot pinned beneath the eyelet cockade...
Sketching has been forefront lately... my mind is just swimming with ideas! My latest little fancy... though she is very much still in progress and needs to be transferred to some board and painted!
Look what I treated myself to the other day while I was at Borders: the February/March issue of Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion! I love this magazine anyway, but this is always my favorite issue because its the yearly artists’ studio tour feature! I’m always inspired by the beauty artists surround themselves with, their philosophy on art and the artist, how they got started... I just want to cut this issue to pieces and stick the images in my notebook!! But I have a "no cutting" policy with ME Home Companion (I have stacks of back issues!), so I just keep paging through again and again. Such a wonderful way to refill and refresh my creativity!
Here is this week’s Vintage Monday Feature! I’m still stuck in the 1840’s (though that isn’t a bad thing!), and keep returning to the patterns, colors and lines of the decade:
Have a lovely Monday, my dears!! I’m off to knit and draw some more... ta-ta!
Cheers & Creativity,
