going easy




there is no trace of the snowstorm from last week. Weather is strange.

i am in a soft and quiet mood. There is a lot on my plate at the moment, but I am working slowly, enjoying, and taking breaks when i need them. this is not always my nature, so it takes me some practice, but one can only sit at a computer for so long, no?

these photos show a glimpse into my afternoon break for peppermint tea harvested and dried from my garden, followed by a good stretch of the legs with scented pine needles underfoot. don't these kinds of breathers make all the difference in a day? I have been working on a few large projects -- writing a magazine article, building my brand new website (which i hope to unveil and share with you before the new year), planning the beginning stages of my next online class which i expect to offer in February 2012 (thank you to those who inquired), and completing photography work for a client (which I hope they will allow me to show you, because i think there is such a tenderness that came through in the photographs). Do you like to work on one project at a time, or do you prefer to juggle many? I do like to focus, but i actually think i produce better work when i have multiple irons in the fire. I think many artists like working this way (in fact -- check out the video link below of an inspiring artist who does just that).

i hope you are not feeling too stressed as we enter the holiday season. My husband and I are making a conscious effort to make more gifts than we buy. It is transforming the holiday experience on many levels for us. More on that later lovelies. Thank you for stopping by.
