Drinking tea and plotting my future.

Manufactured sunlight never looked so pretty. (Product shot I’m not using. . . because apparently on Etsy I’m not supposed to be “Artsy”. Gah!)

Portrait I took of my mother-in-law in September. She makes 75 look amazing.

It’s the bits of color in my world that make me happy. . .

Baked Cherry Pie with my boy. Happy 3.14

Whew. (words tomorrow)

We woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. Nothing permanent, probably just enough to utterly confuse the vegetation though. It certainly has me dreaming of warmer destinations and wondering exactly how it’s already March.

Tea Tins have a way of being re-purposed at Chez Wonder. In this case, as holders for assorted scribblers. Though, looking at the photo I have to wonder, “Who took off with all my permanent markers?”

Wanted: Permanent Markers Returned

This is what happens when you finally clean your studio space after 6 months. You discover things really are missing, not just lost under piles of fabric.  I’m declaring an amnesty until 5 pm today. Return the markers, no questions asked. After that, there’s going to be trouble.

No seriously, boys. . . what did you do with my markers?

Captured.

Today was a good day. Scary, but good. I’m not going to burden the blog with details (email me if you want the dish), but considering our circumstances, today’s meeting went about as well as we could have hoped. That being said, this is just the beginning of a long journey. The mediator called it “Purgatory”—he had no idea how apt his descriptor is.

But today was a good day. And I am reminding myself that I love my life. No matter the circumstances.  I am surrounded by people who love me (you should have seen the Facebook posse that showed up yesterday with bits of prayer and wisdom and Star Wars references) and that’s all that matters.  In the long run, it really is about the relationships you maintain. The house problems will resolve themselves, one way or another.

So we wait. . . with you. Thank you for that.

(the photo was a quick light check for today’s photoshoot. Sunshine arrived. . . a good day indeed.)

I woke to the laughter of little kids discovering snow outside. That sound is lovelier than the snow.
