A few new studio photos to share!

I am SO happy that the new studio is almost finished!

You all knew how much I had and it truly has been a challenge

fitting it all into our new space but it's working!

OH and in other news....

I've decided to go silver!!!!

It's kind of hard because I've used cheap box color on my dark hair for so long.

But my sweet niece Adrian worked for hours to get me to this point!

It's a work in progress but I'm ready.

I'm almost 58 years old and tired of coloring the stuff!!!

Just our kitty sweet Luna loving the trash basket!

I still haven't gotten back to creating because I've been working on a huge yard sale!

My son and I have been going through all that I have and he's purging from his home as well.

As soon as it's over I pray that I will finally feel comfortable enough to create again.

So in the mean time I've taken a few close up photos of the new studio!!!

It's okay to have a few mascots, right?

Our precious otter and my antique Tutti doll.

Always surround yourself with all that you love!!!

It will inspire your creative soul and be such a precious space of refuge.

Thank you always for stopping by to see what I'm up to.

I'm praying that very soon I will have new offerings that I've made too!!

Hugs and love,

Dawn

Today marks TWELVE YEARS for this little blog!

Can you even believe it??
February 11, 2007 I posted my very first post here.
I know I don't post as often anymore,
seems folks love Facebook and Instagram right now.

Blogging has become outdated but
truth-be-known,
I've met the most precious friends here!!!

Thank you always for visiting me and following
my life, my journey and my art.
And so, to celebrate I'll will actually POST today!!!!
HAHAHA!!!




I'm in love with all the precious birds in our new neighborhood!

It's an older neighborhood so the trees are huge and so we have

tons of different birds and other visitors too!

Even chubby squirrels ~ I'm sorry, I just love them!

I had hamsters when I was young and they remind me of them!

I started off with this lame bowl full of birdseed on the back deck

but after a heavy rain it instantly became soup!!!

I can see this sweet feeder from my computer so you know I love it but
something had to change.

I found this covered feeder at Wallyworld for only about 20 bucks.

Now, that's much better!!!

After days and days of rain in Georgia, it was so great to see the blue sky again!

We finally emptied our storage unit and put our leather furniture in the living room.

I'm so loving it all and very thankful for our boys who made it happen!

And guess what???

The studio is FINALLY taking shape and is looking wonderful!

Here's a sneak peak and I promise I will share more photos later.

The new studio is already inspiring me!!!

When you see all of your beautiful supplies, you are

reminded of the cool ideas that you had while buying them!

I can't wait to get back to creating but I have a bit more to unpack.

Says every hoarding artist!!!

But what I say is you can't create without supplies...

the more you have, the more you have to draw from.

Wishing you a sweet Valentine's Day dear friends!!!

You know I love you all ~

Dawn

Happy New Year dear friends!

Yes...I know. I know.

I've been gone a long, long time.

But I really do love this blog and SO pray

that I can connect with you all

much more here this new year.

The transition of moving was so easy, the move?

Not so much.

I hate to keep harping on that fact but it truly was a hard thing.

We are now settled in our sweet new home and now that Christmas is over

I feel like I can now concentrate on decorating AND

of course working on the new studio!!!

When you have the amount of STUFF that I have, because believe me

when you are an artist you really need the items, materials and supplies

to create what comes to your mind...it's a daunting task to organize it all.

So that is my goal for the new year!!

To get the new studio organized and ready to make beautiful things!

My muse is poking me and I am ready to create!!!

I pray you had a beautiful Christmas, we really did!

And now that it's the new year it's time for me to shake off the old

and begin with the new.

Our small tree with big love...

I watched our precious grandbabies while mom and dad had appointments.

Can you believe baby Tilly??? She will be a year old Jan. 25th!!!!

Nine year old big sister Clara is always willing to help! Tilly loves her like a second mama!

And brother Murray chills watching his very favorite show!

Then the princess Tilly sleeps!

We decorated for Christmas...

We celebrated our sweet grandson Owen's 2nd birthday too!!! Born on Christmas eve

and now his daddy and mama, David and Heather are expecting a baby girl in May!!!

We are all SO excited!!! Her name will be Lily...how beautiful is that??

Happy New Year precious friends,
I'm praying for a wonderful one for each and every one of us!!!

So now I will get back to getting my new studio in order because
I am so ready to get back to creating!!!
Wish me luck angels!
I'll share progress soon, promise!

Hugs and love,
Dawn
