At last, the rain

The plants on my stoop are finally getting what they want... rain. It has been too long since our last good soaking in Southern California. Many had feared yet another extremely dry winter. The fact that we have some weather in December gives rise to hopes that there may be a relatively wet winter in our near future, a much needed wet winter indeed.

I have been spending my time elfing in my studio, printing cards for new year's wishes and holiday greetings. My desk is a mess of failed attempts and a few successes. I am midway through and have another 40 cards yet to print. Happily, I made the decision years ago to send New Year tidings which takes some of the pressure from the already stress induced holiday energy.


Still, the rain pitter pats on my skylights and a hot cup of tea keeps me company as this wee elf continues on.

NEW on Etsy

I just added two new items to my etsy shop. New 5x7" blank folded cards newly arrived from the printer.

One listing is a set of 5 of the same image, the image is of the painting Sentinel 02. The other listing is a set of 3 with all different paintings represented.

Check them out HERE.

Holiday Making

Finally out of bed and back in the studio after 7 very long days. My boredom of chicken soup and hot rice cereal helped me get better. It's wonderful to be eating something more colorful and tasty for certain. Two furry beasts are happy that I'm better, it was a long week for them as well, patient though they were.




Now the dilemma of holiday cards and gifts. With the lost 7 days I don't know if there will be enough time to make all that I had dreamed of making, perhaps with some late nights I should be able to make something!

In the end, I'm just grateful for my health and wagging tails.

Laying Low

All has been quiet this week recovering from the flu bug ... or flug. The furry beasts were all nestled in, patiently waiting for me to rise. It has been 5 days on the couch and the clouds are at last parting. I see light and sunshine calling me outside. Slowly, moving, eating, more sleeping and plenty of tail wagging.

Quiet, Beautiful
