Living in the Moment- The Golden Light

7/19/2015

0 Comments

 
Hell bent and intent on finishing my Saturday to-do list I let the day slip by.  Around 8:00pm I finally allowed myself to relax .  I thought I'd treat myself to an adult beverage and sit on the deck.  Having that in mind, I actually opened my eyes to the world around me.  I was awestruck, I put my ale down and had to grab my phone for some spontaneous photos.  The evening golden light had appeared for its brief visit.  My garden lit up like a paradise.  I'm a bit of a plant geek so seeing my man-made tropical oasis light up made me proud so I wanted to share it with you.   Know that its too cold for most sub-tropical plants here in the wet and cold wintered Northwest.  So I worked hard to recreate that look using plants that would survive here.  Some marginally, so I baby them through the winter frosts

Shhhh, just between you and me... I live in a neighborhood that has quite a feral gardeners who grow nothing but native plants and I think the term native is a rebrand of the term weeds and crab grass.  In this high heat summer- a freakishly long stretch of temperatures in the 90's, their yards are burned to a crisp and mine is a lush paradise ,except my lawn. Good thing I planned ahead and planted my yard prepped for global warming.   Now if only I could grow pineapples and coconuts...
These are not the best photos as I really do not know how to use my SLR mimicking cell phone camera.   And the light was dwindling so some are grainy and I apologize.  Thanks for indulging me in my moment of pride as my garden comes into full "tropical" splendor.  As a plant geek, who likes to share, I'd be happy to answer questions.

Smart Art Give-a-way- Let's hear it for the geniuses!

7/9/2015

 
As we start contemplating the concept of Back to School, let's not forget the whole reason the children are there- to become smart, capable members of society.  Well here at Embellishments I've created an homage of art for the brainy ones that are on that path.  In their honor let's make it easy to decorate their rooms with a give-a-way.  Although this is about them, you can make it all about you, if you want.  Any of my art is fair game, choose something for your living room, the kids rooms or your vacation home that's perched along side a cool lake somewhere (wishful thinking?).

Today's Creative Life - a retrospective good time and give-a-way

7/8/2015

 
Hey there Today's Creative Life friends, welcome!  As a thank you for TCL's love and support in the blogosphere I'm offering Kim's pals a chance to win a $100.00 art shopping spree from my art collection.  Kim at TCL has been kind enough to introduce me to you all over the years.  She and I teamed up awhile back to makeover her son Lucas's bedroom.  You may remember .

Kim challenged me to redo his room with a 300.00 budget.  Boy do I love a good challenge.   Let's just say I squeaked in at about 297.00.  I had just enough left over for a cup of coffee.
That makeover has since become a Pinterest darling and even won best of Houzz 2014, along with one of my nursery designs.  What do ya know...

So here's the skinny on the shopping spree-
