Back at it.

It's that time of year again, Winter. Which means I twiddle my thumbs more and make more art! This winter in particular is unique in that I am currently inhabiting a tiny town of just over 400 people in the beautiful, Central Oregon. My town is located on a small part of the Deschutes canyon...stunning. In the summer, this town is crawling with rafters and fly-fisherman as they invade the tiny town because of it's mighty river flowing through town. But come fall, they all leave to search for better, warmer waters. And with my husband working during the day, my dog Trask and I are left to explore the mighty canyon, the high river and my art space by ourselves.

Our adventures, creations and (like the above), photos of ourselves will be found on this blog. (Trask is on the couch not being very adventurous at the moment).

Happy MAY DAY!!!!!!

Today I got to spend some time with my wonderful friend Sara Harris, creator of Blossoms N Blossoms, she has some AMAZING hair pieces!!! Be sure to check them out!

I love May Day! When I was little my mom and my siblings would go around our neighborhood in New Mexico and place baskets full of goodies on people's doorstep, ring their bells and run away! Sometimes we would hide in a bush or around the corner so we could see their faces as they opened the door to our May Day surprise! Why don't we do that anymore? I'm not sure, but I think I will start the tradition again with my husband. In honor of the May Day surprise here are some Pinterest May Day Inspirations!

Flowers left on your doorstep!!!! What a way to make someone smile!

The good ole May Pole!

So cute, flowers and a burlap sack!

I am back from my birthday trip and eager to make more designs. Here are some images from our trip.

My amazing husband took this photo, he is such a good photographer.

Our very cozy cabin.

The huge indoor hot spring pool, we had it all to ourselves!

We are going camping!

Alex and I are headed to  Summer Lake Hot Springs for my birthday get-a-way! 

So excited!

Today felt like Spring and I enjoyed it immensely! I installed our compost bin, planted some more pots, went for a beautiful hike with my friend, Shayna, along the Deschutes river, saw an awesome sunset of Three Finger Jack (from my backyard!) and got to play with my Trask. And now I will be making some super cute napkins for a birthday order I received. One wonderful day!

Sprouts!!!!

I can't believe my Arugula is sprouting all ready. I only planted my seeds four days ago! Woot woot bring on the veggies! Hopefully they will grow full and tasty.
