you could've fooled me -

that it's technically still autumn - until tomorrow!

'i prefer winter and fall,
when you feel the bone structure of the landscape -
the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter.
something waits beneath it,
the whole story doesn't show.'
~ andrew wyeth

the inuit have 52 words for snow because it is so special to them...


where's waldo - only with sparrows!

a cat's way to spend the day ~ 





 'a catless writer is almost inconceivable. 
it's a perverse taste, really,
since it would be easier to write with a herd 
of buffalo in the room than even one cat;
they make nests in the notes
and bite the ends of the pen
and walk on the typewriter keys.'

venturing out last night


shortbread that i have been making since i was 16

and a sleepover...
one child was already up and busy ~


may this sunday be exactly what you want it to be~
and i will be on duty as the dresser, shoe tier and clothes dryer!

it took the force of nature...

to get me centered ~
and that somehow feels so very right... 
the east coast is under siege from a nor'easter - snow and winds... they are calling for over a foot here, which doesn't happen often as we live near the beach - which often warms the air and keeps our snow accumulations down... which bums the kids out when the towns just west and north of us get snow days and they don't...
here is what we awoke to - (and i am hoping for some cool after pics)

more importantly for me - it took this storm to calm me down... it's like i got a pass today from going to the stores and rushing around... instead it will be spent in the house, decorating our tree and baking cookies... i really like the way snow can make you feel like you are in a cocoon... insulating and beautiful...

'in the depths' is a bezel created with the symbols of the lotus and om stamped into it... as if to infuse a calming energy... in the resin i set pieces of fiber and fabric... they flash from the depths when the light is right... like labradorite or opal... it's kind of magical...

'wise men speak because they have something to say;
fools because they have to say something.'
~ plato
'pearls of wisdom' bezel has pearls and amethyst set within resin... wisdom is garnered from experience, laced with the beauty of knowledge gained.... amethyst is known to be calming and protective, something needed while facing life's challenges...


hope this weather does you no harm and that you are able to enjoy the beauty and quietude it brings...
