Hello December!

Hello Lovelies, how are in this beginning of a new month?

 Wow! What a lovely "December fog"! found here.

"I'm so glad I live ina world where there are Octobers." OK, and Decembers, too!

I'm re-reading my list of Winter Essentials, so I won't loose courage and won't forget what I'm thankful for!

Life has been really tough for me and my family the last couple of months and I'm just recovering... But I'm glad and happy for this new season of merriness.

So I'm sharing with you my ideas for a simple, lovely white handmade Christmas, just here!

Have a great time decorating your house!

Advice from Kim Carney

Hello Lovelies!


A long time ago, I found this sound advice from Kim Carney over the internet (source long forgotten, alas).

I believe she's the same Kim Carney I found here, on her lovely "SOMETHING" blog.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Turns out that, well, Mom is very ill but faces her illness with a smile. I admire her, she ages so gracefully...

I want to take care of Mom, but she wants me to go back to "normal" life. So here goes: life goes on! Or as we French people say: "La vie continue".

I don't know yet if I'll be ready for Christmas, art and shop-wise, but I'll do my best. And will keep you guys informed, of course.

Talk to you soon,

Finally Fall

Hello Lovelies!

Autumn has finally arrived and I took a lot of pictures of red, green and yellow leaves (and all the hues in between) lately.

Things are a bit hectic right now as my Mom's in hospital recovering from surgery. So I probably won't blog much this week, but you can drop at my flickr and see details of my latest oil painting, and again, lots of lovely Fall hues.

My best,

Happy Monday!

I wish you all a Happy Monday!

Above is a mosaic made out of three of my recent flickr faves, and it's all about happiness and living the happy life (as an independent artist and otherwise).

Please do check the original photographs through the links provided above, they are really worth it!

I'm happy with my new oil painting, I'll provide more photos of it soon and when dry, it will be available in my shop. How happy is that?

Let's talk soon,

Oh, and Happy, Happy Friday!

Hello Lovelies!

Wow, it's already Friday! Happy week-end to y'all!

My week-end will be busy with the drying of a freshly painted canvas (see above), healthy meals and the collecting of leaves for artistic projects like the one depicted below.

GROW: Collect leaves and use paint to make prints. Beautiful, frame-able kids art! Photo by: Kristin from Kleas Typepad

Have fun!
