Making Art By The Sea

 

Spending all day with my husband was the best part of being on Prince Edward Island.

I really love the Ocean

Living close to the Sea was a blessing

Making Art and dipping my toes in the water was so wonderful.

I miss those days.

I hope to see many other Oceans and make art by the sea again one day.

We picked up and moved to PEI after I finished all my treatments due to Breast Cancer

It was healing time.

Nature, art and prayer.

I will always be grateful for the two years on the Island.

The smell and sound of the Ocean is incredible.

I thank the Lord in this moment and every moment that he has given me.

Each day is a gift.

Each moment, I praise the good Lord for all the good in my life and also for keeping me strong.

Amen

Happy 50th Birthday to Me!

Happy 50th Birthday to Me! My Birthday is tomorrow. 🎈 I am grateful for 50 years of life. The good, the bad and the ugly, it's all a gift from God. I've been through a lot in my life and I am so grateful for everything. I look forward to more amazing years! 🎂

I haven't been on here since March. I do apologize. I've been very busy with life stuff, mom stuff and housekeeping stuff.  I have not picked up my paints or brushes. 

 I have been working on what I studied long time ago and trying to get back into that. Just giving acting another chance. Not sure how it will work out but I want to give it a try. I don't want to give up on dreams. I landed a wonderful agent and I got pictures taken for my acting. I love acting a lot so I am going for it. I am very excited!

Linking up with FFO. Friday Face Off. Here is my portrait in one of the actor headshots.  I have a variety of looks and the photographer is fantastic! This is a low resolution of one of the headshots.

I've had a few doctor appointments. I still have a few more to go to. Not fun and very stressful but whatever. I just keep going and staying strong. I also have been walking and working out and I love it so much. I got into a routine and really enjoy it. I've been cooking a bit more and love making Greek food a lot. Feeling very emotional about tomorrow. So many feelings and emotions! I have family coming over for a bbq tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well. 

So that is all I have to share with you today. I truly hope you are all well. I am grateful for all of you and thank you for your comments and support. Have a lovely rest of the month and much love, peace and good health. 

🩷I will be back soon with more artwork. Hopefully the spring weather will spark my creativity. 🩷

Hello May!

This month is going by so fast, I got sick but I'm better now

I can't plant my garden because it is still too cold on the island

We have a bird feeder and I love birds

Going to get a humming bird feeder up too

I love the animals that are on this island.

How are you all doing?

Weekly Vlog | Reading Anne & A Proper Cuppa of Tea! 🫖

Hope you are all well my lovely friends. Here is how my week went. 

Spring is here. I started my seedlings, I am reading Anne of Green Gables and we went to the beach. 

A blessing to be here. 

Thank you all for your lovely comments on the video. It means so much to me. 

Thank you and see you in next weeks vlog!

Happy Spring! Joyful April!

 

Hello my wonderful friends! I hope you are all well. Spring has arrived on PEI! The temperature has reached in the plus zone and the sun is out. The sun is out longer and I am so excited!

This month we celebrate three birthdays in our home. My husband's, my daughter's and my birthday. It's a busy month. We already celebrated my husband's B-day and next is my daughters. A lot of cake! :)  

We went and had sushi for my hubby's b-day and it was great. 

We also love this ice cream that tastes like bubblegum. So good. 

This is my new Leuchtturm1917 Planner. I love it! 

I decorated it with stickers. Stickers rock. 

I am really excited to fill this up. Last year I filled up my Leuchtturm journal with so many things like, lists, likes, goals, art, journal entries and collages. This year I chose the bullet journal with thinner pages which I don't mind because they turn out crunchier and have texture, which I love. 

I've abandoned the #100DayProject

But when I do have time I create art and DIY projects.

I think projects and challenges don't work with my lifestyle right now. 

Too much pressure. :)  I am not a fan of pressure. 

Lately I am more of go with the flow kind of person. 

Also don't be hard on your self and

Go with the flow and listen to your mind and body. 

This is the sushi place we went to in Summerside PEI. 

It's okay. I've had better in Toronto.

Decorations for my hubby's Birthday...

Auggie and Ziggy are happy and doing well.

I am reading Anne of Green Gables of course! :) 

Thank you so much to TRIND for the goodies. 

I am truly grateful and my nails are doing so much better with these two products. 

DIY Re-Usable jar into a candle holder or pen holder or brush holder. 

I used pressed flowers from Toronto and fabric paper and glue. It is so lovely. 

This was the last snowfall at the beginning of April. 

The snow is slowly melting and I am so happy. 

More on my Youtube Channel!

I uploaded some shorts and vlogs at the beach! :)

Focus on Joy and Love

The storm was crazy, I never in my life heard wind like Fiona before. Fiona felt like a monster trying to get you and it lasted endless hours. At 2 in the morning we all woke up and sat in the living room. New home, new place and it was frightening. Power went out and trees came down and after 13 hours or more the storm slowly stopped. Fiona scared me to the core. 

Autumn weather has settled all around us now. The clean-up around our town is almost complete. The evidence of Fiona coming through the area slowly diminishing. 

The sun rises beautifully, gold hues touch all the leaves and burnt orange and yellow surrounds us. The fields softly touched by morning fog disappear by the warmth of the sun. 

Being in a new place feels vulnerable, I still feel emotional, it’s only been one month. The beauty of my surroundings helps my emotions and offers me comfort and joy. The beauty of PEI embraces me and offers love. 

I don’t know how long this adventure will last but I know that I am going to live in the moment and appreciate everything around me. I am going to look toward the brightness of the sun and not the shadows. Focus on joy and love. 

I have set up an art area and slowly I will set up my books as well. I forced my self to sit down and make some art but I just sat there not knowing where to start. Feeling lost a bit so I’m just going to take in my surroundings and breathe a bit before creating anything. It takes time…

Thank you for reading my blogpost for today my friends,

All love and positivity,

Maria
