little miss c

my little miss c is a sick girl.....mono!

in hindsight, i would say that it has been
lingering since around jan 7th when she
came home from her first day back and
had a terrible headache and fell asleep
at 3:30 and slept through the the nite.

in the last couple of weeks she has fallen asleep

after school and had headaches. by this monday
she had a swollen gland that is a huge mass on
the side of her neck. she also has a little
honey and i am hoping he doesnt get it! how
embarrassing. i don't like this teenage dating
stuff.

at 14, she is growing up. but going in to

check on her and seeing her laying in her
bed full of fever and pain, i just want to lay
with her - my arms around her to make her
feel better. but i know she is burning up and
doesn't want the added heat. so i fill her glass
up with ice and 7up and offer popsicles.

she is quite a peanut. now about 5'6" and a
perfect build, but i worry how much weight she
is losing. i don't want her to find the new loss
attractive and try to maintain that.

at the moment she is in a fitfull sleep. i need
to check on her, but don't want to wake her. the
drs. said to only wake her to have her eat. and
at the present, she has no desire to lift her head
off her pillow.

my kids are generally strong and healthy, and for that

i know i am blessed. but this poor thing is like her mama

and when she gets sick, her glands swell, her joints ache

and her body fights it with big fevers that come and go.

now go hug someone you love! and while i am thinking of
it after listening to our president yesterday, lets all find
something important in our little neck of the world to throw

our energy into and make a difference. maybe something
we aren't especially comfortable with, but needs to be done.

i am thinking about what i can do.

peace....

this land is your land....oh yes it is.

peace be to each each of us

*it's wednesday

commission..

diamond dust snow falling on our
middle indiana streets this am. it
was breathtaking seeing the twinkling
of the white against the dark sky, on
my early morning drive. if i am going
to have to deal with winter, this is what
i yearn for. pure snow, no mix of rain
or ice....perfect for a day of sledding.

happy wednesday to you.

i carry your heart with me

i carry it in my heart

i am never without it
anywhere i go you go,my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is

for you are my fate, my sweet
i want no world for beautiful

you are whatever a moon has always
meant and whatever a sun will always
sing is you here is the deepest secret
nobody knows

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which
grows higher than the soul can hope or mind
can hide and this is the wonder that's keeping
the stars apart i carry your heart
i carry it in my heart

what to wear

leah apron - modern myrtle

i am loving aprons! they truly
can make an outfit. i just got
this one from modern myrtle
and it is so damn adorable. i
could wear them everyday.

if you are looking for a work
apron check out these from
the little room. today i am
wearing my natasha. liz does
such a great job and her soul
mantras go right along with
the aprons. go check them out.



happy shopping!

just another collaboration with my girl kiki. if you would like to

see more happiness, then skip this way.

*[ on a yesterday note - i am fine. not laying in the fetal position,
really i am not! just needed to vent, lack of sleeps just sucks. but

a 2hr full body massage, finishing up new pendants and looking at

my little tree did the trick. okay okay....you did the trick. the

emails and comments were so sweet. i honestly felt bad about even
p0sting it. but thanks for caring. damn indiana gray skies!]

peace out.

today....a bit cloudy

not sure what is happening here. may be a lack of enough
sleep. little miss c, has slept with my the last two nites. b
is gone and she seems to think i need someone next to me
a i slumber, last nite she was tossing all over and that means
i didn't sleep well.

i often wonder if i am making the difference i yearn to make.

i want to be inspirational, but am i

i need to be creative, but i seem to be stuck

i want to create great things, yet i don't feel i do.

i am missing so many girls right now. i read your blogs
i look at your images and i yearn to head back to the trees
and drink a red stripe out of the ice box. i miss the morning
hugs, the walks over the muddy paths. i miss you. i feel
very alone here in the center of earth.

the days seems as if my hands are tied. i know it is just
the lack of sleep.

saturday we celebrate my family's christmas, meaning sibs
and all the little rugrats. this crazy aunt will make a new tradition
this year....every one gets their birthday gifts for the next year. i
am so bad about remembering that i thought - what the hell.
how fun will this be to see all the gifts on a table! i think they
will love it

our tree is up and so cute. i got her for $10! long scrappy limbs
a little frazier fur, lots of blue and pink glass balls and little drink
umbrellas grace the limbs. you know how i love to use drink
umbrellas!

more pendants on the way. there are 4 heading out the door
this week. so i am going to focus on that and move on.

hope your day is happy and warm, and if not warm then bundle
up and smile.

peace.

happy blue skys....rocky mountain high

five happy things this sunday am.

one..just found out that boho girl is now a mama. oh happy day!
cedar leon is here finally. welcome to this crazy world little one.
[peace to the whole boho clan]

two..two fun productive sessions with missie. lots of giggling
over art pendants, scrabble tiles and her painfully slow computer.
seriously you need to upgrade child.

three..a surprise call from girl liz, who i adore and how constantly
reminds me that five really good things are even better reminders
of the gifts i am given each day.

four..my three cherubs and hubby who are the lights that brighten
up my world.

five..the polaroid that was gifted to me by this chick and this chickies
new artwork that i am drooling over and hoping to soon be hanging.

i am truly blessed with such kind, giving girlies in my life, along with
a husband that is strong enough to give me space, understanding and

loves to laugh at my crazy brain, many days. three cherubs who are

all grown up and still hug me most days, laughs at my silliness and

say's "i need to talk. two adorable pooches and a warm big studio

that i so love.

in case i don't post before thursday....happy thanksgiving to each
of you. maybe you find peace this week. the crazy holidays are

upon us!

day late, but i finally got to it!

this past weekend was spent in the moutains of colorado. i am

not a cold weather person. but seeing the sweet moves of the

skiers as we drove in warmed my heart. a gorgeous simple

wedding and good friends who we don't see nearly enough of.

driving between the moutains was a reminder of the simple

life i am meant to live.

peace to each of you today.

tuesday ..peace..

new ..peace.. bullet cards

i have pretty much stopped watching the coverage, today is a huge
day in our country's history. regardless of the outcome i have
watched something amazing. something raw and beautiful. and
for that mr. obama, i say thank you. thank you for restoring my
hope in the world, in the people. no matter what happens at the
end of the day - i have faith that you have made changes and will
continue that journey.

if you are looking for a bit of inspiration today go visit miss
jaime. she has left each of us a little glitter.



bumper at squam.

"when the power of love overcomes
the love of power the world will
know peace."

peace be with our nation today. and that means each of you.

a tuesday morn pounce

sweet cassiopeia ring ~ jess taylor

an early morning pounce found this sweet bauble

by jess taylor. she has really fun jewelry.

not really a diamond kind of girl. have one and i respect the

meaning behind it. but not really me. i would pair this with

one of her silver bands for the complete wedding set.

just a thought.

peace.out.

44 - old habits die hard

"some people find this moment - the moment before creativity begins- so painful that they simply cannot deal with it. they get up
and walk away from they computer, the canvas, the keyboard;
they take a nap or go shopping or fix lunch or do chores around
the house. they procrastinate. in its most extreme form, this
terror totally paralyzes people."

44 years - i have a lot of work to do.

yesterday was filled with watching my oldest cherub toodle us around town in her new car. big smile didn't leave her face. we dined on scrumptous sushi and visited an art store where i bought
my first screen.

peace.out.
