Mosaic Sun Clock

I guess it must be difficult to live with a creative person; always taking photos, painting, knitting, blogging and planning the next project. My poor husband has been dealing with my “super active” personality for 38 years. How does he cope? He joins me in the process. He is creative and expresses himself with photography and videos. Many of you have enjoyed his creative talent documenting events.

Ever since I took a mosaic workshop with Mary Ponchio, he has decided to take on this art form. A while back I blogged about the house numbers he made for our mountain house. He has now decided to make a clock for our Florida patio. This project is much bigger and required some sketching and planning. 

It is fun to see someone creating and I can just sit back and watch. His clock has a tropical feel with a blazing sun in the center. In the fall, I plan to get together with my sisters and a couple of friends and have a mosaic day in the patio. I have a feeling he will be joining us with another project in mind.

Good job, Phil!

P.S. - See what you started, Mary? Thanks!

Your Gift

“Your talent is God's gift to you; what you do with it is your gift to God. “

 Leo Buscaglia

I often hear people say, “I wish I could paint”. I am a strong believer that we all have talents and ways to express ourselves. Some talents are hidden, but look closely and you will find something that allows you to express yourself.

Art can be pleasing to all of the senses and it does not necessarily have to happen with a brush and some paint. Many of you are fantastic gardeners. To place the right colors together on the ground and create a pleasing flower bed is an artistic creation.  Some have a voice that can carry a beautiful tune and it is pleasing to our ears. You may think you can’t create, but all you cooks and bakers are creating something for our sense of taste. Sewing, knitting, decorating, crocheting, flower arranging and even coordinating the right outfit; are a few of the ways to create and express yourself.

Before I painted on canvas, I was creating with needles. I have shared a couple of pieces that I knitted and crocheted.  Although I am busy painting, I still take time to knit and crochet for my grandchildren. To express yourself  is to give of yourself.

Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize!

In real state we hear all about location, location, location. In decorating, it is all about accessories! Most of us have a favorite room in the house and for many it is the bathroom. This is a place we all visit daily, many times a day. It is also one of the places to go and relax, de-stress, and enjoy a warm bath.

Today I want to introduce you to my shower curtain designs available through Deny Designs. What better way to update the bathroom than by changing the curtain and towels. All of my designs are colorful and tropical. Transport yourself to a beautiful garden or a Florida seashore.
