Almost Vintage

Hello Bev, Ann, Marie! Hello Soul Sister and my lovely artistic friends!

I confess my muse is tired and creativity is somewhere over the rainbow. It must be our extreme hot weather. Sometimes I think I am in a pressure cook. It is insane! Our Fall is next month but only on 21st. It hasn't rained much here and some states have been rationing water. Yes, Mother Nature is angry!

But

Life is amazing and I am glad you share your gorgeous artwork with me every week. It is always a feast for my eyes. Girls, your art brightens my day. Thank you!

Ialso would like to thank Colorel and Kimeric for kindly share their lovely work.

T stands for life

Hello Elizabeth!Hello My Lovelies!

How are you all?Hope everything is under control. Life follows its flux of wonder and each day is a box of  surprises: a daughter gets sick, taxes and more taxes getting high here, students who don't want to study, students who worry about  death, violence and poverty, DST  days are over, my tiredness (sic), and the  Oscar goes to...blah,  blah, blah.

Yes, life happens whether we want or not. Sometimes we are too blind to see that. I think it's a  miracle to be alive. So, let's celebrate the magic that only the routine brings. We are dreamy beings but it is the sameness that anchors us to life. I may be wrong and I'd like to hear what you think about that.

Before I go, I'd like to leave you a quote:

 Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. 
― Gilda Radner

Some photos I took yesterday from Guanabara Bay when I was going to work. This  is what I see on Mondays and Wednesdays. My beautiful aquatic routine.

The importance of sewing

Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied.

Face 20 - When Yasmim looks inside

When I started drawing, I had no idea my page would be about love. But I still believe in things which seem to be forgotten in our insane world. Yes, I am a dreamer, yes  I am romantic. I still need things to sweeten my soul. Hope you have romantic heart too: only a romantic heart can understand the movements of my soul. Have a magical weekend!
