How cool are hellebores?

I spotted this impressive outfit on my pinterest & thought I would share.

Now McKenzie Powellhas quite the knack for flowers & her studio is drool worthy (I do not lie!) Go stop by her blog you are in for a treat:  www.mckenziepowell/blog

Now this nifty bonsai tree is really like no other I have seen before. How cool would it be to have this puppy in your living room? www.tokyogoodidea.com/bonsai

That concludes my list for today. Hopefully it will be enough to unsettle the dust that has been collecting on this blog. I have been busy with work & school ... you know the rest.

Just thought I would share a few things I have been finding on Pinterest in the last little while. 

Stella seems to have a pension for florals & I am not complaining.

I might not wear the gloves but the rest of this look from Burberry is working for me. 

If you are not yet a fan of green a word of caution; that dress will seduce you.  

Carven is bringing some intense pattern to the table & people are eating it up.

The last one is to over indulge in your eye candy sensory. 

Happy Weekend!

Kanye Announces Donda Sketchbook Series

illustration: reubenvision

So if any of you happen to have been on twitter last night & also happen to be following Kanye West you witnessed some pretty interesting things go down. First off he started giving a recap of his various fashion world endeavors & then he went on to explain his newest venture: Donda. According to Kanye's twitter feed: DONDA is a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers and put them in a creative space to bounce there dreams and ideas...

Well I am not quite sure if Kanye will be knocking on my door but I thought it might be fun to give this drawing a whirl.

Dig Out the Winter Boots

Dig out the winter boots. Unpack the mittens scarves and sweaters. Get out the ribbon, scissors and shears. It is time to start decking the halls in style. 

I am excited, are you?

Sweater Season Is Here

Cable-knit, cardigan, cozy pullover or any other warm comfortable form; sweater season is here & I am loving it. These are some great sweaters I have been "pinning" to my fashion board on Pinterest .

I am going to try & prolong the "winter jacket" as long as possible this year & my solution is sweaters.

pretty pale peach & dusk grey

A collage I did in my sketchbook last week. It all started when I found the great photo of the damsal in the car. I feel like the grey background & the sketchbook coil add to the piece so I decided to leave them there. 

Have a grand weekend all, I am off tomorrow to watch a rugby game in the pouring rain. (the things one does for relatives) 

Games Night

Don't you just love a good games night?

SO THANKFUL that it is starting to look like summer days have arrived! Am home to the family this weekend. The wild flowers that grow around my parents house are so much more impressive then my stomping grounds. Hope you all have a great weekend!

OVERWHELMED

by: yours truly

Lately I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Lots of things on my plate & lots of important desicions to make.

More Stress needs More Prayer

& I am working on that. 

On a plus+ note I now have

ART OF WATER

source: http://thefashionisto.com/

whether lot, whether little

whether cold, whether hot

whether thirst, whether not

water is always needed

whether clean, whether dirty

in the land, in the ocean

whether flood, whether dry

water is always problem

rain river, static puddle

hidden in the desert, moist in the forest

frost on mountain, vapor to clouds

water is everywhere

playable, making war

doesn't have taste, doesn't have color

you can live or you can die

water is sign of life

the element, the anomaly

build energy, fill the body

the circle, the reflection

water is word of power

I would wear those Kors in a heart beat.

LOVE!?

http://gobackstage.blogspot.com/

The word LOVE has been used & abused so much in the English language. 

It can be shallow, false, untrue, vulgar or ending.

http://thefashionisto.com/

It has been given, gifted, borrowed, bought & stolen.

Its sentiments have been tweeted, texted, posted, messaged, mailed, recorded, spelled-out & spoken

http://jakandjil.com/blog/

Through time the word LOVE may have been cheapened; but if were able to go to the one who created time would he be able to show us what LOVE really is?

But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8)

For God so LOVED the world that he gave his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
