    on my mind all day, will be the thigh and cake plate props, oh and the coffee, i blame him too

    in my mind i’ll further covet and plot how to come live in your craft room, who am i kidding, i’m living in the kitchen even if she ain’t turquoise

    from the heart, granted the mildly envious one, i wish you a wonderful end of your day and start of your week

    may thighs be delivered and may grace abound
    and to all a good day

    Oh what a fabulous post!!! I just love all of it!!! I hate to say it, but we always do art first… otherwise we would never get round to it!!! Somehow later in the day there are always more important things to do and this year I decided:”Well, what is more important?”

    I was reading too quickly and initially thought the espresso machine was on your nightstand which may not be such a bad idea. In fact, rolling over in bed to freshly brewed caffeine could even be inspiring.

    By the way, when did it become not just fall, but late fall? I think we had maybe 6 hours of fall here in VA and now there are leaves on the ground already. So not right.

    Noticed the productivity book there. 😉 I have one very slim, girlie productivity book on my desk called “Shopping for Time, How to Do it All and NOT be Overwhelmed,” by Carolyn Mahaney and daughters. It got a few bad reviews on amazon, but I thought it was great and God-centered. It’s not hardcore, I’M hardcore! Way too hyper-organized for my family’s good, way too driven by my to-do list, way too task-oriented. A little girlie reminder of how to balance this God-given 24 was perfect, and I’m thinking I need a refresher course, because the past 2 weeks I have aged myself by about 10 years, over nothing but my own expectations! Sheesh. I’ll never learn… the grass is always greener — I always see more productivity on the other side of my mountain. Too many projects, too little time… I’m such an unbalanced person in general. 🙂 Maybe if I could listen to Luther and just BE a bold sinner and slapdashedly, joyfully try.

    But no, not me… it’s always all or nothing, and sigh, I think that makes me Melanchthon in this story. lol… and I think that is why I like your blog. It’s a joyful mess, and I’d like more of that to rub off on me. I can’t quite seem to get it right, yet, though, so I guess I’ll just keep reading. 🙂

    Lovely pics, Edie! Hope life is feeling as peaceful for you as your pictures feel to me today. 🙂

    Happy Reformation week!
