evidence of spring





these days...
there is a fight between my muse
who wants to create...
and me who wants to luxuriate in sunshine...
so we settled the matter
by dividing up our time...






I love to 
 snap pics of the
evidence...
for the life of me, I think 
the flowering trees against a blue sky 
are one of the most beautiful things
to see...

 so I have been 
dividing my time
and taking short walks to the little park near my house
to sit for a tiny minute in the white gazebo
and enjoy the sunshine...
and listen to the mourning doves...







and dear reader, 
I have found some time to work on those giglios or gigli for Giglios
lilies for Giglios
for those of you who are new to the sweet life...
giglio is lily in Italian
gigli is plural 
someone recently made it clear that my family have never received a 
piece of art from me...
hence, my new project...






It is a fun project, and you will see them when they
are all finished..







I have also been working on some collages
for my French paper series, to put into the shop..
work in progress below...
these will feature hand painted stars and moons...







and just starting april pages..
plus lots of projects in the works behind the scenes as always...

and
 I cleaned up my side bar
and my blog links, 
I am keeping current blogs
and please note, if you refer my blog and I do not have your blog listed 
on my side bar, 
please let me know and I will be most happy to post your link..









I am off to see more
flowering trees, and hope
that you are in the mood to see more
pics...
so do stop by next week if you get the chance..

as always, I am grateful for you all..
dear readers and lurkers, friends and family..
for your kind comments, thoughtful remarks and positive
energy...
