Another cup of tea on the deck. 21 Celsius today. Life doesn't get better than this. 😊 #tea #onthedeck #warmday #lifedoesntgetbetterthanthis #taleswithfriendsDay 217 - Stardust - #365somethings2018 I've given up trying to understand how abstracts work. I choose a colour and put it on the page. I pick another colour and put it on the same page and so on and on. At first I see a Chinese character. But then I see someone kicking up their heels in a dance. Then there's the universe all around. I added some stardust to the mix. Glory be! I I love the process. #indexcard #abstract #acrylics #dancer #stardust #universe #ilovetheprocess #taleswithfriendsDay 216 - Halloween- #365somethings2018 Even though I don't like Halloween, it looks like I got a pumpkin and a ghost or goblin sitting on top of it. #indexcard #acrylics #abstractart #halloween #pumpkin #ghost #goblin #taleswithfriendsA few abstracts. Aren't they lovely? I wish I had painted them. They're my quilt squares I'm cutting up this morning. Maybe they will inspire me. #abstracts #fabric #quiltsquares #inspirations #taleswithfriendsDay 215 - Waterfall - #365somethings2018 The only time and way I can do abstract is when I don't try, when I'm just using up left over paint. I can't deliberately set out to make marks. What kink of marks - squares, circles, lines? Big, little, straight, wavy? Too much to think of. So I just clean my brush off however. Sometimes it looks good. Most times it look like hell. Then I moosh the paint around,add some other mediums and more acrylic, different colours- till it looks sorta pleasing. I suppose that is what is meant by intuitive. #Indexcard #abstract #intuitive #acrylics #inktenseblocks #taleswithfriendsRandom squaring. Oh no! I got 2 of the same together. More ripping. Not sure this project is a good idea. Have to let it sit and jell. #randomaquares #quilting #ripping #notsuchagoodidea #taleswithfriendsDay 214 - Open Door - #365somethings2018 In a bit of creative fatigue. #indexcard #opendoor #acrylics #taleswithfriendsDay 213 - Palms - #365somethings2018 Playing with Inktense blocks with a touch of acrylics. #indexcard #inktenseblocks #acrylics #palmtrees #taleswithfriendsDay 212 - Better - #365somethings2018 I like to think I'm getting better at making marks. #indexcard #acrylics #marks #better #abstract #taleswithfriendsSplurging on myself. #selflove #splurging #inktenseblocks #taleswithfriends

HOW TO BE HAPPY FOR DUMMIES
If I was able to come up with a one-fit-all post/formula for happiness, I bet I would get a lot of traffic and maybe money. Alas! This dummy does not have that ability. I’m just barely scratching the surface of … Continue reading
A Cowardly but Respectful Lion
Yesterday I talked about being brave. But I am still like Dorothy’s cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz. I’m not quite up to snuff, not up to confrontations. Never have and maybe never will. There’s something not quite kosher … Continue reading

SO MUCH FOR GOOD INTENTIONS
Some days I start out with such good intentions. There are so many spoilers and you know, dear reader, how accident prone I am. Well, I’m drinking a toast to them to show I harbour them no ill feelings. I’m … Continue reading
LATE NIGHT RANTINGS
I am feeling sad tonight having read someone ended a beloved pet’s suffering. I have also learned today that an old friend has passed away. His suffering has also ended. It is hard, nevertheless, for those left on this side … Continue reading

THE LINE OF RESPECT
It is Saturday morning. Breakfast and dishes are done. I am sitting here with my second cup of tea. Somewhere in downtown Saskatoon, there is a big rally on defending our climate, defend our communities. I am not there. There … Continue reading
DOG WITH A BONE
Sometimes I am like Sheba with a bone. I hang onto to my ‘bad’ feelings with all my might, not letting go. That is my perception. That is how I feel inside. When you live alone, life is much easier … Continue reading
