Pretty Pictures for a Girl Under the Weather

Dear , dear friends. Hope you are enjoying some sunshine in your life today!  I really hate to be "Debbie Downer" but I realized yesterday after writing about writer's block, that the reason I felt like I had nothing to give was because I was actually ill. (Wiping my brow with the back of my hand in relief + Hacking cough. I think Robert and I have the onset of Whooping Cough--- ive heard its going around... have you? )So, I can give myself a break. Thank you for your love and patience with me as I try to nurse myself back to health with some homemade Vegetarian Tortilla Soup. It turned out pretty good for a sickie. So enjoy some beauty today with these images from Silke Zander. I hope to be back on Monday. In the meantime, I better go get back in bed, right after I finish painting a shelf for a client. (oops!, don't tell)

ps. Happy Halloween!!!! :)

I feel very trendy all of a sudden. Except, instead of white, I sprayed some tiny pumpkins "ballet slipper" pink. I added some halloween glitter hairspray over the pink. It would wash off if left outside, but I plan to use them as a centerpiece for Tiny's birthday on Tuesday. :)

Sorry to hear you are sick ~ Be sure to get some rest and your soup sounds like it will hit the spot. Sending well wishes ~ Rebecca

Rest well, my friend, and your creativity and gusto will return with your health.

Hugs,

And yes, Stacy, when I saw the white pumpkin I immediately thought of your beautiful pink pumpkins. They are remarkable and perfectly painted. I'm impressed with anyone who can paint well (i.e. no drips or smears) with small children nearby.

I am sorry you are sick. Hopefully it will pass soon, and glad you are giving yourself a break (kind of!). I love this collage. It is really beautiful.

... and Ginny... I cheated! Tiny was in a stroller watching me (probably inhaling some paint as it was rather windy that day) and the Tot was napping! ;)
