Mosaics in the Park

The little man and I went down to our newly revamped community park to participate in a children's mosaic art piece that was put on by our local art gallery. It was wonderful! And so rewarding little G can help design public art that will be enjoyed by many generations to come! It's a long mosaic piece - about 6 feet across and maybe 1 1/2 feet high with a Canadian landscape as the main background so the kids could make large designs within the space - like birds in the water - big sun in the sky and G's choice of a bird flying against the mountains.

Sorry about the quality of the picture - totally forgot my real camera in the rush of the morning and only had the 'ole cell phone camera to use so it's not too crisp. Also, this is the original layout of his design, before grout, glue etc. just a wip picture until it's all done and then I'll be able to update the blog with the full piece for you - in maybe a week.

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend as well - xo nikki

Bliss ...

... a hot cup of tea with warm buttered cinnamon and raisin toast on a sunny, but rainy morning. Mmmmm ... life is good!

Pop over for a cuppa ...

I'm really loving the fact that my closest cousin T (whose really more like my sister) has moved back into the old neighbourhood and we can just pop over for a cuppa any ole' time we feel like it with a chat and hugs and everything in between - she is so dear to me and I have been so excited about her move for so long now that to see her pop over last Monday night filled me with all sorts of excited warm fuzzies! I love it! She also brought me the most amazing recycled bag from Blue Q and some real traditional British London tea (for my b-day)! She's such a doll!
And so on Monday we sat, and chatted, and had our cuppa ... yay for Tay!

Happy Anniversary My Love!

You are my best friend and the love of my life and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you and our little family. This is only the beginning of our happily ever after sweets! - xo

I'm starting to crawl my way back ...

So sorry folks that I have been away for so long ... I've had some complications on the health side but they are blowing over now and I'm starting to feel like myself again. I have a HUGE "to do" list that I hope to share with you all as time and energy permits that will actually begin with a soft book from the amazing Wee Gallery that is long overdue ... so "stay tuned folks, we'll be right back!"
