A bit of rambling ....
Busy in my creative space! Yay! Maybe my creative space isn't a room but a state of mind? I've been busy working a bit in the yard and in the house. We erected a clothesline over the weekend. Used it for the first time yesterday. It's part of my "bring it home" attitude I'm adopting, along with handwashing dishes instead of using a dishwasher. I am finding it to be meditative. I'm very surprised by it. Also surprised we saved $10 on our water bill and $200 on our electric with our less convenience and cutting back attitude. But it is really cutting back and doing without? I mean, the dishes stay clean now. I'm not waiting for the dishwasher to finish. I can't believe how much easier it is to get it done rather than load, wait and unload a dishwasher.
Trying to get back to normal, to home, to what makes sense in a world of chaos. Creating helps me. Working in the yard helps me...unless the humidity is high and hotter than blue blazes. Right now though, it's nice. We finally put the tile up for the kitchen backsplash. Still need to grout. I painted the foyer a bright yellow. Loving it. This home needed a bright pop of color. Tweaking here and there trying to make it home, a place of comfort instead of a construction zone or storage unit. It was this realization that pulled me out of my minimalist mind and found part of myself again. My love for primitive folk art. So life begins again with a renewed enthusiasm for what I already know ♥

These put me in a happy mood! Weather in middle Tennessee has been a bit strange as per usual! We had a couple of nearly 80 degrees and then drop back down to freezing temperatures. Everything is coming alive. We're still working on the house and even contemplating starting a small garden this year. It might be pots on the porch but it's a start! :D I hope you are seeing the signs of Spring where you are and may that hope of renewal be with you always.

She has a rag and poly stuffed body, which makes her feel weighted and bit soft/floppy. I made her from cotton canvas, painted her with acrylics and stained the doll and clothing with walnut ink. I embellished her with cotton fabrics, burlap and a little tag and trims. Her hat is attached to her head. Her eyes, mouth and body stripes are painted with acrylics.

Happy Holidays! I can't believe it's already November 18th, much less time for the holiday season again! Yay! We're settling into our old house. Still much to do but excited about getting to decorate this year. I was able to get two Santa and his Gingerbread dolls and two Snowmen made. I kept a snowman for myself this year :D
Despite the turmoil in life, I hope you find something wonderful in this most magical time of the year. I pray for you to be happy, healthy and blessed.
I greatly appreciate you following my work ♥♥♥
