Lilla Lotta's Garden Flowers

 

 

Everything kind of changed.

The colours I am surrounding myself with are much happier

and brighter now.

 

 

I have this deep need to have lots of colour around me.

Nothing feels the same anymore.

 

 

My life has been on hold for 5 years.

Where I was just floating, not being here nor there.

Where my entire life was not happening.

 

 

Circumstances were just so difficult.

And just remained treading water in the same spot.

Just surviving.

 

 

Maybe that is why I want to surround myself with flowers and happy

colours.

 

It is time for me to continue living.

Doing the things I love.

Growing away from where I was stuck.

 

Thank you to all the dear people who stayed near me

and cared for me.

 

It means more than any words can ever express.

 

You are a Star

Live Life with Joy

 

Joy is a state of being, I suppose.

It can't really be found around me, or in others,

it seems to be more of feeling that is deeply rooted

within. A source that we tap into when we do the things

we love.

And suddenly there is joy and there is peace.

And it is always there, inside of us.

 

This is a painting I made whilst I was crocheting

at the same time, and instead of painting the main flower

I thought it would be nice to add a handmade crochet

flower. It is such a joy to be able to do three things I love, crocheting,

painting and lettering all at the same time.

 

Joy!

Winter Wonderland *

I am such a Winter person.

I love the wind whipping around the house, and the surprise snow first thing in the morning. Magically colouring our world outside the window in the most beautiful crisp white.

I love wrapping myself up in colourful scarfs. The big chunky gloves and the crunching sound under my feet as I walk around in the perfect stillness.

 

For some odd reason hot cocoa tastes so much better, too.

And my children's red cheeks and big grins when they drag their dirty feet into the hallway.

It is just so lovely.

 

B u r s t i n g

 

 

 

I have been traveling on this path, and it has a distinct hue of greens and bursts of rainbow colours.

I think it is the Light, you know. That has been showering us and then the shedding of shadows, yes,

the shedding, that has been good. * shrugs *

 

My life a kaleidoscope of children and lights and colours and many places to discover.

I am on track, and my path is brilliant, even with the pot holes and the unexpected hill here and there.

I have been writing. A lot. There is a stain of black ink on my fingers that has not left yet. Not for months. And there is lots of bubbling ideas and colourful illustrations sitting in folders.

I am creating and walking and shedding and most of all enjoying the Light.

 

I will be back soon with more photos and I hope I still have some readers left on my blog.

I have been too quiet. Too absent.

 

But I will be getting back into sharing bits of my life, my art, my creations and my loves.

 

If you are reading along, hello!

I certainly hope you are enjoying this wonderful Season as much as we are!

Love is .....

... because at the end of the day, all that truly matters is those you love,

and to be loved. None of the other stuff is important.

We have each other.
