Hope your weekend was lovely. it was really warm here and although i meant to get out and run more errands, i mostly just stayed in and worked on my projects in my little studio. I didn't finish everything i set out to accomplish but overall the weekend was a success.
Some of the highlights include:
I'm such a flower nerd that i rewarded myself with a new bouquet of fresh flowers. They really cheer me up.
I haven't gotten enough done. The main parts of the wearable project of bears and sheep were cut out in orders, so that's something i suppose.
I made a jug of refreshing Shari's spa water~ so fresh and truly yummie!
I managed to score some nifty heart-shaped ceramics on a quick trip to the one of my favorite thrift store. I always love it when that happens.
Honestly, it's been nice to also watch a couple of old movies of this and that, and just relax a bit. And call me crazy, but i'm thinking and looking forward to Christmas. I even throw in a couple of christmas songs while working at my little studio ~ so maybe I'm losing it.
I'll be knocking on your little bubble space soon ~ i promised. I'm having an unfortunate food poisoning situation here ~ but everything is under control with some medication and very long naps. Have yourself a beautiful week! I'll be back soon. Love to you and yours always!
Oh dear friend,
thanks for your lovley comments and so sorry that you don´t feel so good...i send you some good thoughts, a big hug and many kisses of happiness...;)...and what wonderful flowers and the ceramic treasures are so cute...have a good and hopefully healthy week...cheers and hugs...i...

Oh dear I hope you're feeling better right now. I had a food poisoning experience just recently due to dirty seafood and it's not pleasant. so hugs to that.
I think it's such a romantic thing to buy yourself flowers. hehe. I visited the groceries shops in NZ and they sell the most exotic flowers. Exotic bcos I've never seen them in my life.I might become a flower nerd too if I did not spend alot on art stuff. I like the term flower nerd btw. cute.
Do take care,I'm looking forward to see your new project soon!Hope it's going along well =)

Love those flowers! Hope you get well soon. Did I mentioned to you that your "SO SWEET IT HURTS" is awesome!! I love it. Rest assure that I will be following your blog! Love those ceramics. I am a ceramist, for now I don't make dinnerware but it is one of my goals! Ah! Your photos are great. My younger son is a photographer. For now, his main clients are from destination weddings. We live in an island and many people from USA come here for their weddings. You can see his work at www.gabrielfoto.com "enjoy your ride" Elizabeth GLZ

You have to be the sweetest person I have ever seen! Sorry about food poisoning...that spa water looks wonderful and I am sure sipping on that will help with the sickies...get well soon!
Posted by: stacie | June 08, 2010 at 11:17 PM
Oh, no food poisoning... not fun! So sorry you've not been feeling well, Jacqueline... Do hope you will be feeling better very soon! My hubby was sick with food poisoning while we were on holiday in the USA just now...too much eating out & about. He was really sick for about 24+ hours. Flowers are lovely little indulgence--these you have here are so pretty. And you know how I LOVE pink. ;o) So many sweets here to start the week... Do be taking good care. ((BIG HUGS))

oh I hope you feel better soon! I laughed about the christmas bit....it's a bit early for me, but nothing wrong with being excited about christmas! When I was a little girl, I would start listening (and singing at the top of my lungs) mariah carey's christmas cd around the end of October and never really got sick of it until after christmas!

Lovely ... simple and lovely. I want that all today, actually every day.: )

Oh my gosh...your photos are so beautiful!

Flowers are always in order - I love them too, they really brighten up the day. Your thrift store finds are adorable. Hope you feel better soon!

Food poisoning is never fun :( hope you feel better soon.
There is nothing better than rewarding yourself after working hard with a couple of old movies and just hang out on the couch for a couple of hours. My brother in-law collects DVD's - he is like my own personal movie library so I am never short of things to watch!
That spa water looks divine. I like to keep a jug of water with lemon in the studio whilst I work so I don't get tempted with coffee.
Have a lovely week Jacqueline,
Alli xx
