Finding A New Rhythm....

routine, happiness and my ever important mojo!
Things here are a little bit different now, 
I have been making changes and adjustments daily until I have fully recovered.

I could really go for a smaller home, in the middle of nowhere...
a rocking chair on the front porch, pumpkins and mums lining the steps...soup in the crockpot.
I am happiest at home, "being at home" is perhaps my favorite "hobby".
Doing "granny" things like knitting, coloring, painting...paper projects, my junk journal
and the many other crafts I have dabbled into!
All of this surrounds me when I am home, along with the person I love most.

The hubs took this picture for me, a view from our backyard of the river we live on.


The evening skies have been so soothing!

    
I have enjoyed coloring for some time now, but I have recently become "obsessed"!
In the hospital, and during my recovery at home, I have been coloring every day.

This is the book that I have been coloring in.

There are a total of 120 different pictures in the book, I have colored 60.



Each week I will be sharing a few of the ones I have finished, so, be forewarned.

And a special thank you to everyone who has visited and left well wishes.
I am slow visiting, but soon, things will be back to normal.

Before getting into coloured pencil sketching and water-colour painting, I did loads of colouring! The therapy I received from that was more than I ever dreamed it could be. As you navigate through your new rhythm, I hope you make discoveries that bring joy to your mojo!

What beauty surrounds you and so glad you are enjoying it and sharing it with us. I recently saw a advertisement for a new craft that creates pictures with colored glass and thought of you because of your love for the glass you fine on the beaches. Keep on keeping on:)

You have such a talent for choosing the prettiest colors for the designs. I know this is so much fun for a creative person like you. I have a book and some colored pencils, I need to follow your inspiration! I keep you in my prayers my friend. Sweet hugs, Diane

You take your time healing and doing what is best for you, so glad to see you are still enjoying some crafting and creating, that is always a good help for me when times are rough. Hubby took a great picture of the river and those sunsets are just gorgeous, I always feel like it is God giving a little gift for the end of the day :)

I am going to have to look into these coloring books. The pictures you have shared are beautiful. Love those purples! Every time I see that color they remind me of my dear blogging friend Debbie, always thinking of you sweet friend :) The skies are beautiful, stunning in fact. Did the hubs take them all? He has a great eye, but know you do too. How I love them. What an absolutely amazing view of the river. So soothing, idyllic. I would never want to leave this place. Wishing you a very Happy September dear friend.
