T Stands for Getting Creative

Happy Tuesday! How are you all doing?  I hope you are all well. 

It snowed 

I love looking at snow!

I've been busy with journaling and artwork and some drawing and painting. I have been also cooking, cleaning and keeping the house in order. I am trying to stay active too. I am happy and feel blessed and good. Hope you are all doing well aswell.

I've been enjoying tea with lemon and honey

Made a digital collage on Shuffles 

Touched up some old Christmas Postcards that I made last year.

New Post Card

Junk Journaling in the Christmas Composition book

I kindly received this beautiful card from a lovely friend Joy last Christmas. I can now use all my Christmas cards and memories and keep them in this Composition book that I am making. 

As I sit at my desk this is my view

Junk Journaling in my Christmas Composition book

Made another lovely Christmas Postcard that I am sending out to a friend.

Have a wonderful day and a wonderful rest of the week!

Can't wait to share that with you all. 

Thank you all so much,

T Stands for Life is Messy But I Don't Mind At All

Happy Tuesday!

First I would like to say it is Remembrance Day and I would like to pay my respect to all the fallen soldiers and respect to all that fought for our Country. 

Since my last post I have not stepped close to my art desk nor have I created anything. 

I was busy with house chores and my mind is all over the place. 

I wish I had a routine. Routines never stay routines because life happens and things change and I just go with the flow and try to just hang in there. Life is messy but I don't mind at all. I just keep going.

I did manage to go into my planner and write down things that I am thinking about and organize my thoughts a bit. I also did some Youtube watching and stayed off the scrolling as much as I could.

Thank you Elizabeth for hosting a lovely party! 🎉 

Since my last post  I vlogged a bit more and pushed my self to just film and get out of my comfort zone.

I will be putting the video together by the end of the week. 

I also created a mood board. 

I bought stamps for my snail mail friends. 

On Sunday we had our first snow ❄️ fall! 

So beautiful to look at.

I am trying really hard to make my self go for daily walks. 

Not sure what my problem is. I avoid it. lol

I need to just go for a walk and take my sketch book or my camera and just go for 30 min. 

Hopefully I will go tomorrow. 😬 

I walk my daughter to school and I took this photo on the way to school.

I also finished a book!

Little Alleluias: Collected Poetry and Prose by Mary Oliver
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Little Alleluias Collected Poetry and Prose by Mary Oliver is an exceptional book. This is my first time reading Mary Oliver’s work and I love her poetry. She expresses a lot about nature and how she feels about nature. She questions things and her writing is clear and simple yet so so beautiful. Wonderful reading experience. I can read her work over and over again. I would like to read more of her works. Wonderful and I highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your visit my friends. 

I hope you are having a wonderful week. 

I look forward to reading your comments. 

Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Hugs,

Tuesday Tea & A Farewell Poem to October

Linking up with Tea For Tuesday 

Hosted by the lovely Elizabeth.  Bluebird and Elizabeth's Blog

This is not the poem

I pulled my back last night

Don't ask how 

Ok 

I will tell you

Just getting into my PJ's 

yup that's all it took

Now I'm sitting and can't move from the couch

Thank goodness I have some help today.

Yesterday I tried this tea and It's in my favourite mug

I love the Nutcracker story and this mug is from Indigo

it has the characters all over it

I have a green version of this mug as well but it's in boxes from our move

We haven't unboxed everything

The tea is Organic Green Tea Matcha with toasted rice 

I really love the flavour of the toasted rice.

My Sweet October

October,

Colours of red, orange, yellow, brown

Leaves are falling all around and the air is cool

Fireplace in the air

Sounds of Autumn everywhere

Leaves falling like rain to the ground

The sun is bright 

The sky so blue contrasting with the warm colours of the leaves

oh how I will miss your beauty!

My sweet October.

-Maria Medeiros

Thank you for each moment

I am grateful for each day

Have a wonderful day and a lovely rest of the week my friends!

A Slow Autumn 🍂 Morning

Linking up with Tea Stands For Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Time is going fast my friends. 

The trees have changed colour; red, yellow, orange and brown. 

Leaves are falling and some trees are bare.

I've been enjoying Pumpkin Chai tea with milk and maple syrup from Davids Tea.

The cup is a gift from a friend. I received it before moving to PEI. 

I'm still stuck on the same books and really need to make the time to read more. 

Cold iced coffee for the afternoon and I love popcorn. This one is not my favourite flavour. 

Previously I bought the Pumpkin Spice popcorn and enjoyed that more. 

Books I need to finish by the end of this month. 

I wish you all a lovely week full of love, good health and kindness. 

Love how roses still bloom and blossom in Autumn. 

Thank you all for your visit. 

I hope you have magical, wonderful and creative week!

Lot's of prayers and love,

Maria 

 

Happy Tea Stands For Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! How are you all doing?

I hope you are all good my friends. I am feeling tired from the Thanksgiving weekend. 

I cooked a lot and ate too much. 🤣 

We also watched a couple of Christmas movies and had popcorn. My favourite snack. The two Christmas movies that we watched were Angels Sing with Harry Connick Junior and While you Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock. Sandra is an fantastic actress. 

I woke up today and painted my tea cup photo for Tea Stands For Tuesday.

Painted my cuppa tea. This tea is the Twinings Lady Grey and I add lemon to it. 

I definitely want to practice painting cups more often.

I also enjoyed a cold iced caramel coffee with pumpkin spice. 🎃

I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week my friends.

Thank you for your visit.

Lots of hugs

Vlogtober Week One (Crafts, Cooking, Nature Walks & Spirit Halloween) T Stands for Tuesday

Happy Tuesday lovely friends!

Today I am linking up for

 

T Stands For Tuesday hosted by the wonderful and lovely 

Elizabeth and Bluebeard

I enjoy my coffee daily but I also enjoy my tea and recently I've been enjoying 

David's Pumpkin Chai Tea

Very flavourful and doesn't leave an aftertaste in the mouth.

a lovely October tea!

I wanted to start drawing my cuppa tea's and coffee's for future posts, but for now here are some photos of my cuppas. 

I haven't picked up knitting for a year, but a cup of coffee yes!

My reading has become a little less this year but my cup of coffee never!

I wish we lived in a town like Star's Hollow (Gilmore Girls), or Rosewood (Pretty Little Liars), or Mystic Falls (Vampire Diaries), or Forks (Twilight). 

Wait If you had to choose one what would it be?

And if you like another Fictional town let me know so I can watch it too!

I just remembered Stranger Things and Harry Potter.

 If I had to choose one of these fictional towns to live in it would be Rosewood. Mystery, friendship and fancy clothing. lol no wait I choose Star's Hollow. Casual and fun and cute. 

Let's mix them up all together!

A town where there is  Star's Hollow food, coziness and seasonal celebration with a hint of Rosewood friendship and fashion, a little vampire from Mystic falls and a hint of wolf from Forks. Done!

My most recent cuppa is this blue cup with stripes. 

I bought this cup for my daughter for her hot chocolate but I use it too.

I know they say drink less coffee during menopause,

I'm trying but it's a challenge.

I also filmed Vlogtober Week 1

If you like have a look! 

Thank you all and have a magical and wonderful week!

Lots of peace, joy and love
