I'm going to the same process...not being able to leave the house sometimes because my broken back hurts too much, but wanting sometimes to be part of it all, than back to the treasures I already have close around me.<br />Looking out of the window and wonder and be happy about all shades of green etcetcYvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138424562030321140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146638412348253734.post-70848342382496687082011-05-29T12:24:34.698-07:002011-05-29T12:24:34.698-07:00xoxoxoxoLeslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146638412348253734.post-35877775809169455022011-05-29T10:53:22.655-07:002011-05-29T10:53:22.655-07:00How lovely to hear from you Lesley. Thank you for ...How lovely to hear from you Lesley. Thank you for explaining. For some reason it wasn't clear to me but I went back and yes, I discerned the difference. Your work is amazing (those egg shells, sigh) as is collating all those different artists and quotes. I was prompted again to catch up with Christine Mauersberger and what a treat. Your blog is good 'first thing in the morning with a coffee reading'. xxxAhipara Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08379542516074480446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146638412348253734.post-82853720945645143512011-05-29T10:27:29.864-07:002011-05-29T10:27:29.864-07:00I'm not surprised art school wasn't a fit ...I'm not surprised art school wasn't a fit for you. I think it misses the mark for many folks. Sometimes I wonder if it isn't more like a boot camp with rules and regulations and expectations of achievement. <br /><br />I try to create my own art school in my studio. I strive to be kind to myself. When I slip, I remind myself its all ok. <br /><br />This Mary Oliver poem is an all time favorite of mine too. <br /><br />When it comes to our home and having it look "just so", my husband always reminds me "we live here." My bedside table will never have roses (I'm allergic) and arty things. It will always have a clock, some tissue, my glass of water, the books I am reading....practical things I really use and need. I use a couple of flat surfaces near our entry to display things in an arty way...its my nod to my love of beauty. <br /><br />You asked me at my blog about my words and quotes. Usually quotes are in a colored type, and my words are in dark grey or black. I hope that helps. <br /><br />I haven't been here in a while.
