pomegranatesandpaperWe all have stories to tell. Mine are of the beautiful necessities: paint and paper, pen and ink, artjournals and books, and the weight of a red, ripe pomegranate in my hand.Happy Mother's Day- May 9, 2008 Happy Mother's Day! Doesn't this display remind you of a cake, a big, beautiful cake I love this store and take a lot of photos in there. Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut and it's a few doors away from this place so I'll be sure to go in and see what little goodies they have for Mother's Day. We went back and forth many times about what to do for Mother's Day. We're not big on eating in restaurants on that day because it is Sheer. Hell. And we're I'm not big on inviting everyone to my house...http://artjournaler.typepad.com/pomegranatesandpaper/2008/05/happy-mothers-d.html (Untitled)- May 9, 2008 I didn't mean to keep you waiting so long. I've just been working and coming home and getting some artwork done. I was unloading groceries in the kitchen after work yesterday when I heard the front door open and Mystery Man appeared. Seems that exams are over, he had Yankee tickets, and decided to bring down a load of his stuff with his friend on the way to the game. Living up to his name, none of his knew he was coming home for a Yankee game. He comes home for the summer on Sunday, in time for.http://artjournaler.typepad.com/pomegranatesandpaper/2008/05/i-didnt-mean-to.html Sowing More Than Seeds- May 4, 2008 The closest I came to going to a nursery was peering at my favorite through my windshield wipers. Not that a little rain would normally stop me, but kids, it was freezing cold. Also, I do have sort of a rep for buying plants and if I don't put them in the ground the same day, they sit in their little peat pots in the driveway until I found them in mid-July, little fried up hardened peat pots of cement, so I decided to wait until next weekend when I can justify the mountains of flowers, shrubs,..http://artjournaler.typepad.com/pomegranatesandpaper/2008/05/sowing-more-tha.html Uh oh.- May 3, 2008 Seriously, I know this is the weather in early May. I know it's cold, dark, and wet. How do I know this I remember my own senior week in college when the fair and the outdoor dance were cancelled, and we all shivered under our cap and gowns on the lawn during the ceremony. I know this because when we drove 4 hours to The Princess's graduation, we had to pull over until the downpours lessened and in all the photos we have crazy hair and our skirts over our heads. (If we wore skirts. OK, The...http://artjournaler.typepad.com/pomegranatesandpaper/2008/05/uh-oh.html The Lusty Month of May- May 1, 2008 We made it, kids. In my mind, winter is officially over tomorrow, the first of May. What month has more beautiful associations than May May flowers, May weddings, Mother's Day, cherry blossoms, Maypoles, and May processions. It is a lusty month. Just this morning I was stopped at a light next to a vivid pink cherry blossom tree in full bloom. This wasn't one of those elegant, Asian cherry trees that look like the ones featured on Japanese screens. I think it was a Kwanzan pink double bloom...http://artjournaler.typepad.com/pomegranatesandpaper/2008/04/the-lusty-month.html |
