Slowly getting back into it- trying things out with ATC's -my inspiration comes from the gardensin our area- so abundant- and the roads, the trees, the birds- of course all become shapes- I pursue the shapes and they pursue me- time pursues me too- I try to convince myself:"time is mine, time is mine..."in the end though maybe I should only ask : was this day well spent? instead of stretching time I should be enriching it-
This is my son's last year of highschool- I see every day as precious because I know that I can't stretch the time he is a child-I cleaned his duvet today, his pillows, his room. I was never 'that kind of mom' . Not really. Because I always saw it as a bother. As something to be done with and finished in record time...He greets me with a laugh in his eye. What's this? vanilla smelling pillows? Yum!
This is my creative space today. A balancing act, focusing on the moment, on small things, on small scale, on a small brush, on lines that break and become maps, and charts, and needlework without the needle.
Enjoy all the creative spaces at Kootoyoo!

The ATC's are great....And ((hugs)) for that last year of school...I will have a teenager next month and that scares me. Can't imagine his last year of school...
So beautiful :) I really love the pink one on the right! The last year at school? I can't imagine my girls at that stage just yet but it does creep up on us, doesn't it? The vanilla-scented linen does sound very yummy! I find I'm doing things more deliberately like that also these days... we feel our time with them is limited and so very precious. Lovely post Annamaria :) K
I love all the colors. It looks like you're finding your way. ;)
Looks beautiful! I can only imagine the feeling of holding on to your teenager with both hands, trying to enjoy each moment. Mine are still small but still growing at an alarming rate.
I like what you are doing with the ATCs. Maybe one day, in a galaxy, far, far away I'll get into making these.
The pink and yellow combination really jumped out at me, so bright and cheery.
The ATC's are beautiful Love those colours. A lovely post too.
(although if you keep up with the vanilla-scented linen he might stick around!)
Your ATCs are looking great!
Your work is always so lovely and colourful!
Lovely poignant reflections... and gorgeous ATCs.
Sounds like some quiet reflection happening in your space Anna Maria.
