T stands for tasty

-

Since breaking my ankle, I have made use of my time doing some reading and learning procreate on you tube. One of my favorite sites is Bardot brush. She does a great job explaining how to create procreate art. I have been enjoying drawing dogs. For St. Patrick’s day, an Irish Setter was the obvious choice. We had Irish Setters growing up, so it brought back happy memories. We have moved on from animals to people on bardot brush, so I added an Irish Colleen as practice.
Cailin (Irish for Colleen/girl)



After my art work, it was nice to celebrate with a Ferrero Rocher cupcake (beautifully made and decorated by Fiona) and a cuppa. I am now in a brace and walking,  after a “good break” just in time for Spring. Cheers to that.

    Pleased to hear you are making a good recovery, that’s very painful, my husband broke his ankle years ago and had pins in it, took ages to heal.
    Lovely artwork and delicious looking cupcake,
    Have a good week

    I have been unable to get on the internet for over half a day. I was sick with despair. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. It wasn't my computer. My internet showed it was on. However, any blog I tried to visit, I got an error. I've been checking all night long and finally can see your blog without an error. Somehow, I didn't realize you had broken your ankle. I am sorry for that. Your Irish girl and Irish setter are perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Fiona made a perfect cupcake for you and looks like it will go perfectly with your pink flamingo drink. Thanks for sharing your drawing, your cupcake and your drink with us for T this Tuesday.

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craf...

T stands for Transformation..

and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula...

T stands for Tranquility amid the turbulence...

Every click of the television remote or blast from the radio brings more aggressive news of hateful words and actions.  The stress of the situation is exacerbated by the sad fact that I have no impact over the current environment.  All of the lessons of history seem to be lost.   I can only hope that at some point peace, respect and common sense prevail.  Amid all of this discord and hostility, Nish and I went in search of some tranquility. There is no place it is easier  to find than in nature, so we headed to Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. Majestic trees Beautiful Vista And then we moved through the labyrinth. Moving meditation Labyrinth move within, let go circle, center, continue  end, let go, begin The current exhibit is Painted Landscapes: Contemporary Views.  Some of my favorites:  So much inspiration taken from the beauty of nature. It was back outside to one of my favorite water featur...
