The power of this quote goes way beyond the words. And if you think of it, how true is the saying in that when you have a friend with whom you can share anything with, is that not the most beneficial release for our souls?

It’s a wonderfully sunny day down here in the South. My puppy Benny continues to whine, about what I do not know, but I did leave him outside in the fresh spring air for the last 45 minutes, so maybe he is just delusional right now.

I have wanted to buy a laser printer for a while now, but because of its price, which is in the 300’s not including the cartridge, which is in the 80’s, I just let it be for a while. Well, lo and behold my printer which is old, ragged, and very sensitive to the touch wouldn’t budge at all for me yesterday afternoon, so I had to replace him with another temporary part-timer named Max. Max is hot. He sounds great, and you know what, he’s dark in complexion. The ‘other one’ whose name I cannot mention due to profanity, was grey and getting impatient with me, as much as I was with him. I'd throw my fists in the air at him, and threaten to leave him, and he would just sit there ignoring me. Some days, what we had as a team in my studio was precious. But with all the positives, his negatives outweighed my patience.  Anyway, I have laid him to rest, for a while, until I can muster the strength to say goodbye to him forever.

Don't you just love the color of those earing's?

My friend Lauri over on etsy, made them for me yesterday as a custom for a friend. She makes all kinds of jewelry and also sells a bunch of jewelry beads, destash and more. My weekend was sort of counterproductive. I did get through painting three base coats of some journals, and I was able to work through some other creations as well.

 

The happy Project

Well its time for me to skidaddle, and tend to my yard, and my mind by walking. I have to go back to work today, and I think it will be a good afternoon.

Enjoy your day where ever you are, touch the face of beauty where ever you see it, and trust in your instincts, they never let you down.

Best,

Sam

 

 

 

 

Purple Dreams

Purple is as blue as red shines the fire in you….

 

I’ve been dreaming purple of late, colorful dreams, and recollections that have inspired my post today. In my garden right now, I have regular english lavender growing, and French lavender as well. It’s doing considerably well considering the humidity of this region. But the flowers are absolutely adorable. The bees flock to the purple flowers, and the scent of the lavender when crushed is like a misty shower in the forest sun; fresh, alive and awakening.

On the front page of etsy this afternoon, a treasury of purple inspired handmade items spurred my inhibitions to do a little more searching and the end result was glorious. Downright quaint in its own right, purple is a color of mystery, knowledge, and hope. This can be seen in the picks I have chosen .
