My wonderfully talented Sister in Law said i should start a blog. She is amazing. She has the most talented creative eye! Everything she touches is beautiful and perfect. According to her, blogging is easy. I think she just makes it appear to be easy. Like she does with her photos, her cupcake business and her home. The woman is gifted! So here I go Sharnel...
Edgar Allen Poe once wrote, "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" I used it when I graduated from high School. It still moves me. lately, I have been dreaming about what to do with my new home and my new business venture. It is endless. Of course, The business is going better than the house. I have been dreaming about a house for 12 years. within one month of owning one I have 7 plans of kitchen remodels drawn up, 2 of the master bathroom, and a complete rendered drawing of my laundry room and powder room complete with feature wall! Needless to say, I don't have the funds to do any of these dreams, yet. Yet, Dream I do. I wonder how many times I will redraw my kitchen before my dream becomes reality? or is this the reality of my dream?
Now my yard is a whole different dream. Rather like a nightmare. It haunts me every time I look out at my beautiful view. four times a day when I back down my drive way I see a big looming wall of hillside that is begging me to do something wonderful to it. Since i have recently moved from Wonderful San Francisco to Stunningly beautiful Sydney Australia, I am at a loss for native plants and have no clue to the seasons. Thus, my garden looms like a big dark blank canvas waiting for me to gather up a good collection of cash to paint it into life.
My Jewellery, is another dream altogether. I dream it. I make it. I love it. I sell it. I dream about it. I miss many of them. I nurture them into family members, and when they take flight and leave me i really do miss them. I often think of them and wonder if the person who possesses them enjoys them as I did? Do they love them, and treat them tenderly? or do they toss them in a box with other trinkets? Then I move onto the next piece and try to forget what has passed. Once in a while, I get a special treat and my heart fills with joy, I see a customer wearing my art. Often I think, wow! those look so good. I get inspired to create more and bring that joy to another woman. It keeps me going.
I dream of this room. I just love the earthy olive green ottoman in this sea of calming blue. It grounds the room. Also the grass shades on the pristine white windows. Just classic and comfortable. When my boys stop jumping on the sofas....
