As an addendum, keep me in your thoughts, blog friends. My son and wife and I have bought a lovely home together, and I am sorting a lifetime of "stuff" and getting my home ready to put up for sale. This is a momentous time in my life which I approach with joy and anticipation, but the logistics of making it happen are a bit overwhelming! I have lived my life in joyous chapters,---my married life, my widowed single life, my retired and independent life, and now the next chapter of being a cherished (thank you, God) elder free of the cares of maintaining a home. Our new home just happens to have a wondrous den with a huge L-shaped desk and built-in cabinets and shelves which will be my Bev-cave for creating art. How blessed am I! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!!
Your bird layout is a real "tweet"! I am so happy for you to have a nice place to create your wonderful artwork, and hope the move goes smoothly and is pain-free!
ReplyDeleteWhat great news Bev! Such a wonderful & happy chapter you're begining! How lucky you are indeed! :)

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be moving in with your son and d.i.l. that shows a lot of love from all sides to build a nest together . Happy next stage in your life.
I think the bird wins because he is the one with more attitood!! This is a gorgeous, fun artpiece, Bev. I love the twist you have put on the theme.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the link to your blog on the TM page doesn't seem to be working (at least not for me).
Oh oh. I think the bird is going to give her a peck on the nose! Fun collage! Congratulations on moving to a new place. That's always an exciting challenge.
ReplyDeleteYour bird with girl are beatiful. Your new project sounds wonderful and so good that you dont have to worry about property maintenance. During this time dont worry anout pleasing others with your art, but use it as a source of relaxation and to please you!
ReplyDeleteQuel défi dans le regard de la demoiselle ! qui va gagner la partie?l'oiseau a fière allure et ne va pas aimer perdre , attention aux coups de bec !
ReplyDeleteBon courage pour votre changement de résidence , c'est bien fatiguant mais vous allez être bien entourée en famille !

How exciting to be beginning a new chapter in your life! Keep what matters most, joyfully give away the rest and snuggle happily into your newest nest, dear Bev!
