Saturday
Incredible wedding! I am so grateful and blessed to have had the opportunity to watch my nephew get married. So special. It was the most beautiful ceremony. I wish him and his new bride all the happiness in the world! God Bless them!
Sunday
Chores, groceries, feeling tired from the day before. Watched "Murder In The Building".
Monday
Got up, took shower, had coffee, prepared my daughters lunch for school, vacuumed, mopped, put laundry on, fed the cats and walked my daughter to school. Folded laundry and feeling a bit tired. Cooked bean soup for dinner. My bean soup has ingredients like carrots, celery, onion and garlic. This week I am going to try and read more of my books and do some artwork. It's monday and I am so tired. I always overwork myself with house chores. My hand rashes are doing better.
Tuesday
More laundry. I call it the cycle that doesn't end. Feeling a bit off in the afternoon but managed to create a few collages in my various notebooks. I use a travelers notebook from Peter Pauper Press, a Moleskine notebook, a Leuchtturmn1917 notebook and a small Studio Series A6 Field Sketchbook from Peter Pauper Press which I bought on Amazon.
This is my new Moleskine notebook. I am not sure how this will hold up with my mixed media but we will see how it goes. It has thin paper and I like the crunchy sound it makes.
Wednesday
Cleaned and did some laundry. Caught up with journaling and art. Did not read as much as I would like too. Watched "Bordertown: Mural Murders" as you can tell I like Murder Mysteries. 🕵🏻♀️ 🔍
Cooked lemon rice and meatballs with tomato sauce for dinner. Hubby came home and we watched the movie "A Fall City Christmas" on Prime. A very meaningful film.
Created this piece. This is in my book Studio Series A6 Field Sketchbook from Peter Pauper Press. I bought it from Amazon. I think it was 10 dollars. I really love the paper in this book. It's soft and it feels so amazing to colour with pencil crayons. Smooth and soft. Not sure where I saw this quote but I love cake and I say "Eat the Cake" life is too short!
Would like to do more reading tomorrow, lets see how this goes...

Set up my moleskine notebook with October themed stickers and I hope it holds up. It feels like it might fall apart. I am use to stronger paper and a hard cover. I will update you when I figure things out.
Doing laundry. Not cooking today. Leftovers today.
Should be reading but I am tired from setting up the notebook and worrying about it. lol
Missing my husband and feeling emotional. I'm hanging in there and can't wait until the weekend.
Took a leaf photo today.

ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Tom! Wishing you all the best! THank you kindly and have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteHi Maria, it seems everywher you can go grocery shopping on Sundays but in Germany (or Europe altogether?)...
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing how you create your beautiful art!
Weee you do a lot of laundry! I can´t remember when I last did!
It´s but my Hubby and I and I work from home... lemon rice? That sounds yummy! Must try that, too - do you have a special recipe?
Do you have a weekend-relationship? If so, I feel with you - we did this some 13 years...
Funny, I do the week-stuff always on Tuesdays (a fellow blogger started this once).
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
Thank you Iris! I appreciate your visit and your lovely comment. The lemon rice is super easy. Just add the juice of two lemons, chicken stock to the rice as it's cooking. I always add a pinch of parsley, oregano and olive oil to it. I like the idea of leaving chores for every Tuesday! :) Have a wonderful weekend! i will write out some recipes for the next blog post! :)
Deletelovely art!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine! Have a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend!
DeleteOMGosh Maria, I am exhausted with all that you and the laundry would be the end of me. LOL ha ha ha. You sure had a busy week. I must be out of the loop, does your husband work away from home? I love your art. The Eat Cake is brilliant. Reminds me of paper dolls. Are you old enough to know what paper dolls are? (Big Grin) I do follow you and I have subscribed to your youtube. I think you are very talented. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a restful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello lovely Nicole! lol laundry got me going crazy. Hubby works in the downtown area in the city and he works from 6 to 4 but traffic is crazy so it takes him a long time to get home. By the time he gets home he has to eat and get ready for bed. we get about two hours in the evening together and then back to work. He loves the weekends and holidays. lol I am almost 50. I know what paper dolls are LOL I use to play with them all the time when I was little. Nicole you are amazing and talented too. I look forward to reading your blog and learning from you. I also love your personality. You are super funny and kind. :) Thank you for hosting such an incredible blog hop. Thank you so much for your comments. They always cheer me up. Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteSorry I'm late visiting. I was busy writing my will yesterday. I love your collages, especially Marie Antoinette's Eat the cake. Lovely leaf and charming face.
ReplyDeleteI live alone (with 2 cats) and do two loads of laundry once a week. Towels and sheets in one load, clothes and unmentionables in other. I feel for you and your laundry dilemma.
I hope you and your husband find some alone time together this weekend.
Hello Elizabeth! Thank you for your visit and your lovely comment. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I am enjoying the weather today. It's so beautiful. Sunny but cool here in Ontario. Cats are so wonderful. Thank you again for your visit.
DeleteA family wedding is always such fun! Your collages are really pretty. It sounds like life is very busy. I've been off computer for about five days and slow to catch up on things but finally got a new post up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie! I appreciate your lovely comment. I'm coming over to your lovely post now. :) Happy Autumn!
DeleteHi Maria! I love your use of color in all your intricate journal pages. Happy FFO!
