Chop Chop...

Remember I said I'm not a Salon type of gal...

Well I relinquished and took Kitty for her first Salon Cut this week.

She bugged me all month to go shorter and shorter and I had already cut her hair twice this month and I just felt that to go as short as she wanted - I needed it to be done professionally.

I love my girl's long hair.  I have short hair issues (can you tell).  Hahaha - it's a long story.  But I find it very hard to let the girls go short but I guess it's part of letting go.  And I guess now more than ever - I'm learning to do this more this year.

That being said, I have to say I was wrong because it has honestly been the best decision we have ever made concerning her hair.  The cut totally suits her and I think she looks utterly incredible and rather stylish.  She researched it for months, drove us nuts about it for months.

I've never seen her happier and look and feel more beautiful.

Good move, Little One.

Racing has begun again...

The racing has begun again.

It means busy Saturdays for all of us.

It's not always easy but we are all pretty excited about it.

After a two month or so break from racing it has been hard to figure out where she was at physically but I'm so stoked to say she had a super race yesterday and placed 1st in her category and 2nd woman overall.  I love this series because the distance and style of riding best suits her.  So proud of this girl of mine.

We are in for a busy few months.

Holding my breath as the days are marching on at a pace that leaves me breathless.

Happy Post Day... at last I'm receiving mail again...

Look what I received in the mail today...

When I saw Caro share this in class... I was immediately in love.

An abstract homework assignment that she executed beautifully and it was without a doubt love at first sight.  I love feathers and the red and yellow here - swoon.  Journeying with fellow artists and seeing them come into their own is something I will treasure and value every step of this incredible journey that we share together.

This beautiful piece is going to be framed soon and I'm stoked to have this #InMyStudio.

Thank you for the extra love that came with this piece, my handpainted card, the ceramic piece and the leather pouch from Bali.  Always such kindness.

Much love, always!

Coming down...

After a full and glorious week with my beautiful parents in town and a full weekend.

And the excitement of the Camera Craft Announcement.

We were grateful to have Monday off - it was a holiday.

A total spoil.

We switched off all the alarms and we planned to take it gloriously slow.

Long cuddles, slow game of scrabble and much time in front of the fire.

A perfect day of rest.

TeaBagGirls... the journey continues

It was a big weekend.

Filled with lots of news, creativity and lots of catching up with life.

After my parents left - I had much to do to get back on track, around the home and #InMyStudio.

I sooo loved our visit - it was the highlight of my week, for sure.

It was good to have a long weekend off.

I can't believe that we are through April already with my TeaBagGirls Journey.

All my mini canvases are prepped and ready for May and I'm happy to say I'm back on track with my TeaBagGirls Blog, Twitter and Instgram and almost there with my paintings too.

I have also pulled out my 120 frames to take with me tomorrow to the framers.

Hoping to finally make a start on the framing process.

At last I can share this news...

I'm so excited to share that I will be one of the Guest Contributors for the Camera Craft Collective class this year.  A photography class to help you express yourself more beautifully with your camera.  I'll be sharing and focusing my segment on Lomography and Film Photography.

I am completely in love with it and how it has taken me down a new avenue of creative play.  I'm captivated by the old world feel these camera's offer me and I'm excited and delighted to be sharing something I'm so in love with, with you.

Please click on the image or here to sign up and I hope you will come play along.

Exciting news... coming soon.

I have some exciting news to share with you...

I'm a guest contributor in a new online class.

I'm just waiting for the links and final information and hoping to share more later tonight.

But I'm sooo excited and delighted to be sharing something I'm so in love with, with you.

This is new ground for me and I'm nervous excited.
