If life could stand still, like a black and white photograph, with me ever moving in one little frame, I would want to be caught on a perfect morning. A morning with an empty to-do list and new acrylics. Gold and black and red and blue. And white.
I’d want to be caught on a lazy slow morning with a yard full of birds, singing outside my window — serenading me and my hot tea.
I would be wondering what to do, with a tingly good feeling from my head to my toes, because the day is free and art supplies are plenteous. Fabrics with texture. Pinks and reds and robin’s egg blue. Woven heavy threads that mean something as I hold them.
I’d want to be caught with stacks of old books and sheets of old music and plenty of glue and a colored pencil or two. With my tea kettle whistling, I’d dream of what to do.
I’m quite sure I could make something pretty and be content, caught in a frame such as that. My children would be there too, scattered about the house, their sweet voices not quite a distraction, but more like music.
Yes, I’d like be caught there. Would you?
for you to leave a comment, but you can also e-mail me at lynn AT thehealthyhomeschool.com
Love the music you used to line your cabinet with!! Last year I did our china cabinet with different black/white scrap booking papers and it turned out great too. You’ve got such fabu ideas…
thank you for a lovely post. it’s always so telling of a person’s personality when you find out what she would do on a “perfect day”, isn’t it?
and you bet – i’d love to be caught there, too!!
happy wednesday, my friend……
And I would love to see what you created on that perfect day….
Hi Lynn…
Could you email me? I have a new email address: gethappy@netzero.net. I have something you’re going to want to know about… Your Pal, Mich/ivy
oh, absolutely!!! is there anything quite as golden as a beautiful day with a blank calendar and those you love surrounding?
Dear Lynn,
That sounds like a plan to me! Or maybe being out in the woods in my wall tent/studio
.
We’ll have to share what we make when we capture that perfect moment.
Love,
Marqueta
Thanks, Jen. I love old music sheets. There’s something magical about them.
Connie, I love a morning like that. I also LOVE a gardening day! It’d be hard to choose!
Becky, when my mixed media collage is done, I’ll put it on line.
Michele, I got your e-mail. Thank you so much for that heads-up. Your pal…
April, well said! I guess if every day was like that, we wouldn’t appreciate them so much!
Marqueta, a studio in the woods sounds perfect too! You take one side and I’ll take the other and we’ll put a tea table in the middle. Sound like a plan?
