Finding Beauty and Feeling Blessed

When I started this blog, I was worried that I wouldn't have interesting photos and enough to write about because I'm stuck inside.  And, I love beautiful nature pictures!  But, I've found that there is still plenty of beauty surrounding me...

And, when I notice it, I feel so blessed...


My sweet hubby bought me this pillow because he said it had special meaning to me and my heat allergy!



I have fallen back in love with my Art Studio, which I've neglected for awhile.  Instead, I was using every other room in our house!  It feels great to be back in this space!



I bought this antique apothecary dresser several years ago and finally had it painted by my friend and owner of Patina, who refurbishes furniture.  This week, I finally organized my scrapbook paper and other mixed media objects.  I love it!



I'm working on this girl who is made of wings.  Her hair is butterflies and flowers, and she has her own pair of purple wings too.  A work in progress...





My hubby also brought me sunflowers and Belguim waffles from the Farmers' Market this week.  (Isn't he great?)  I feel blessed that I have been able to "Live Simply" this summer.  Even though this summer has been a challenge, I think I will look back at it with gratitude and appreciation for a
slower paced life! 

I'd love to hear about the beauty and blessings in your life!

That's my sweet little Blane, who picked fabric that had fish, baseballs, dogs and an overall blue/green scheme.



Nora, who is feeling under the weather, loved her pillow right away!  We picked out turtles, pears, polka dots, zinnias and pink plaid for hers.



This is the back of Nora's pillow.







My 3 older girls designed their own.  Don't they look great?
