not to worry

for the quite a few of you who've written to see what's up - please don't worry.  i'm okay.  i'm here.  sort of.  off again, soon, for two weeks of an artist residency in breckinridge, colorado.   i just don't feel like setting aside huge chunks of time for  posting, or being right up front; for now, i'm happy staying here in the back corner, where i can tinker and play.  the laptop only works in the hottest part of the house, right in front of the big sunny wall of windows.  so, no email writing, no internet surfing, no posts being written, no photographs being uploaded into a file.  i'm being quiet and staying in the darker studio, which thankfully is the coolest room in the house.   i'll be checking back in here with some new wrapped jewelry pieces in the next few days, and will share some memories and photographs from my wonderful and beautiful week of teaching two workshops at beloved valley ridge.  until then - thanks so much for asking, i really am okay.  for now,  you can see photos i'm sharing on a daily basis over on instagram... xo

I thought maybe you were still out of town, decided to plant yourself on a riverside and go fishing for awhile.
Looking forward to seeing your new things, and glad you are such a sensible girl and hiding as best you can from the heat!

Nina, thank you for letting us know that you (and your family) are okay - just taking some time for yourself in this unbearable heat. Enjoy these peaceful lazy summer days.

Ohh, ohh, with the hottest summer and all that life throws at us I so relate to just being quiet in the coolest parts of our lives. Be well and enjoy whatever cool you find. It is good for the soul to do what we need at the moment.

Glad to know you're still upright and takin' in nourishment; I was about to email you and find out what's up. Have a lovely time in Colorado - hope it's cooler than Western NC.

We'll leave the light on for you...

Good for you - as for an unbearable summer (weather), what's that? All we have here in Wales is rain and rain and rain, oh! and slugs, zillions of the little (or big) blighters....take care :)

Thanks for taking the time to let me know. It's well worth the wait(I'd wait a century...you're the best...)

sometimes the seed just needs to be left alone so it can grow. no matter how much we stand over it and watch...and wait...it doesn't grow any faster. can't wait to see the fruits and flowers! ;)

Nina, I read but never comment. Today I have linked to your blog from mine with a Kreative Blogger Award which is a lovely way to discover interesting new blogs. I hope the new people who find you love your words and pictures as much as I do, and leave your blog feeling calm and serene as I always do. Charlotte x

ok - now it's 20 days - when should we worry?

Too funny...LindaE, I was just wondering the same thing! :) I have a feeling once she shows what she's been working on, it will have been worth the wait.
