True Corners

It is a cold, steel gray day here in Maine, but I was warmed by looking at the corners of people's homes, thanks to this link on Soulemama's blog this morning. Then I hopped up and took a few snapshots of some unrehearsed corners of my own home...











What do your corners look like?

Have a great weekend, and brighten the corner where you are!!

Nesting
























Some corners of my home in Woolwich. I've been painting walls, sewing curtains and pillows, rearranging, cleaning out closets and re-organizing STUFF. Still a ways to go. After being away from the house part-time for five years, there is alot to do to get it in order. I enjoy chaos as part of my creative process, but I do not enjoy living in chaos! I made it back into my studio earlier this week to start the organizing process there as well. When I get everything whipped into shape in the studio (and it will require a whipping!) I will get back to my art. I read this horoscope on-line last night, and it really fits for what my fall has been about! Here's what astrobarry had to say:

Pisces...I'd like you to starting looking ahead to 2010, when benevolent blessing-bestower Jupiter will spend a good chunk of the year in your sign, bringing you an expanded vision of what you as an individual are capable of. Jupiter in one's sign usually delivers a memorable year, so I'm already getting excited for you. In preparation for this, use Mars's new long-term residence in your 6th for an attack on whatever unfinished work you've left to gather dust for too long now—your disorganized papers, your mediocre day-to-day job performance, your out-of-shape body, your household projects or other nagging chores whispering for your attention. Clear the decks during this tail end of '09. (my emphasis!) Make way for a bigger you.

(Suhweeet!)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Change of Season, Change of Place









I'm still in the midst of unpacking from our move back to the woods. Lots of closets and drawers have needed clearing, and lots of walls need paint. Seems that I am going through a transformation as pronounced as the autumn leaves. I will be back to posting more regularly as the weather gets colder and my nesting is complete!

Home















(the beginnings of a mail art project...)
So happy to be settling back into my home in Woolwich (I will continue to maintain my studio in downtown Portland). I've been busy nesting - cleaning, painting walls, de-cluttering, rearranging - pottering about with gray squirrel energy. Already I feel less scattered and more rooted. Fun as it was to have an apartment in town, I was constantly packing bags and moving between three places. I felt at times like the scarecrow from the Wizard of OZ, slayed open on the ground after being attacked by the flying monkeys...
"Some of me is over here! Some of me is over there! I'm all over the place!"
Right now two places feels like plenty.
Happy Autumnal Equinox, all!
