Grandma Time
The weekend before last, my granddaughter Sage spent three days with us…….
Sage getting ready for a long weekend with Grandma, & Papa
That is exhausting, and fun all at the same time, but we were happy to have her!
Our plans included visiting friends, and her cousin Nolan,
Sage & Nolan
and taking a little time to play….
Play time!
shopping for doll clothes, and of course,
Doll clothes for the rag doll we made.
……creating art.
For her bathroom
Her latest love of books includes The Boxcar Children…
Book 1 of the Boxcar Children Series
Sage is eight, and she has been journaling, and writing stories for at least the last year. I’m always impressed when she reads me one of her stories, and shows me her illustrations to go with the story. They get better all the time, and I am bursting with pride because we love all the same things!

The Natural World
Isn’t nature wonderful? I always feel more creative when I take the time to just observe, & drink in the beauty!

Time Out for Art
Collage by Sage Emery
Last year my granddaughter Sage, who was seven at the time, created this Halloween collage. I love the way she tore papers, glued them onto a canvas, and stenciled over the papers. All this time without even realizing it, she was checking for balance, and she put a great deal of thought into her design. I think it turned out pretty good for a seven-year old.
Today, I asked her what her plans were for a free day, and she replied since it was cold out, she thought she’d do some sketching! That’s my girl!!!
My inspiration in part comes from Zebra Designs & Destinations, I’m going to show her this blog in hope she will find some kind of inspiration also, check them out, it’s a pretty interesting blog!

Take a Sharp Left!
Unfinished mixed media
Every morning I get up, fix a cup of coffee or tea, and head into my studio. While I’m sipping a conforting cup of something warm I remember all the dreams of creating art, and how I can impliment them into my day. Sometimes it only includes the way I arrange a vase of flowers, or a table setting. But mostly, I work on creating another piece of art!
Lately I find a great deal of satisfaction in mixed media work, and am having fun with pieces of paper, acrylic medium, and design! Being intuitive is key to this process, as I always start with an idea, and on it’s own it takes a sharp left turn.
Where it goes is anybodies guess, and I’m particularily surprised at the outcome, especially because more seems to be better on these pieces.
Finished or Unfinished? That is the question.
Thank you for stopping to read my post, see you next time!
Old as Dirt and Proud of it!
