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

This week I was at my desk doodling and sketching.
I tried to stay off my phone as much as possible.

I am using the reflection in my window to draw the self portraits.

Through The Fog Paintings

 Linking up with Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date

I didn't get the dinner part for this post but I promise next post I will get the dinner part. ;)

I painted today and the prompt for today is FOG

It was very challenging and I love to learn from art challenges. 

Watercolour, acrylic and pencil 



This photo was taken when we lived in PEI.
The Fog was wonderful. 


Movement, Mood and Light Photography


Happy Thursday!

 Linking up with The Good The Random The FunLittle Things Thursday




 Hosted by the incredible Tamar.


 I've pulled the following photographs out of my archives and I must add that I do love movement, blur, light, darkness and mood in photos. There is something mysterious and wonderful about them. Here are a few that I've taken. I would like to start a series and add them to my Red Bubble account. I haven't taken my camera out of the bag and I should. I hope you have a wonderful Thursday my friends. I am heading to my art desk to create more artwork and will be posting another post today. 

A wonderful blur












Have a wonderful day!
