As we all know:
(From the Byrd's song)
There is "A time to dance, a time to mourn
To everything (turn turn turn)
There is a season (turn turn turn)
And a time to every purpose under Heaven".
So with the advent of the Spring season here where I live
on the far south coast of Australia
on the far south coast of Australia
I have turned my muse to a new birth of creativity
in the form of a Nature Journal
which is on my table
ready for assembling.
I was so fortunate that this commission came just at the time
when I was needing the challenge
of a new project
to get back
to the place where I belong - in my studio!!!
Thank you so much Gisele

I LOVE Saucer Magnolias!!! They are my absolute favorites!!! (Flowering trees. Pink tulips are my fav flowers.) :) How wonderful! Being in the other hemisphere, I forget that our seasons are opposite. Here I am getting all snuggly for cooler fall weather and the leaves changing colors! I read "Spring Is Coming..." and I was all like "Wait... what?" LOL
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Spring and time in your studio! Such beautiful work!
Love and Hugs From Atlanta, Georgia,

I am so thrilled to read that you are back in your studio and immersed in such a fabulous project!!! It will be an exquisite masterpiece!!!! Your spring photos are glorious! I love fall here in VA but the spring is my favorite season. Perhaps I should have two springs each year , one in the US and pop down to Oz for a second helping!!! Wish that i could , I would definitely have to make plans to meet up!!! Keep on stitching and working with your hands - It is definitely what your dear Dad would have wanted for you - doing what you love!! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSuzy, so good to see this post. The spring blooms are fabulous and I am sure your journal will be just as beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to see you posting and working again - I was just thinking of you this morning as I walked around my own spring garden.
Hello my sweet friend, Your garden is such a great place and your blooming trees are fantastic. It must be wonderful to sit there and relax.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you spend more time in your studio again. Your new journal creation is stunning and the recipient will love it.
Have a wonderful weekend, my dearest Suzy!

Hi Suzy - your new work looks perfectly you and the garden is a real springtime treat - how things have come along since I was last lucky enough to visit, much love jo xx
ReplyDeleteSuzy, I just always have to chuckle when I hear you say you're almost at springtime and here we are in the States just winding down summer. :-) What a difference the equator makes!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Diane
Glad to hear you're back working on your beautiful pieces of art. Those magnolias are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzy,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful is the spring, trees wake up from sleep, are beautiful colorful,
au August autumn I started, also beautiful but rainy and cold, coz these are the laws of nature,
This poem is for you, I created it herself,
Young leaves all enjoy:
wind-that it swings and swaying,
-clouds that dance across the sky,
bird-what-the-fly rubbing branches
and green shadows
and the radius of the sun.
Young leaves enjoy with you,
they are young leaves.,
and you also enjoy the leaves and clapping hands,
many hugs ........
I must say I wish I was there in oz right now. We are heading into cold nights and the flowers are starting to say good bye until next year.
ReplyDeleteI love your latest project and it is so good to see you creating again. Sharon
Beautiful! Love it...love you...beautiful and glad to know you are back in your STUDIO!
ReplyDeleteSuzy,
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing pictures. Your nature journal has come together beautifully. I can tell from the bits I've seen that your heart went into this project. I wish I could examine each & every page! Wonderful!
Lisa
Hi Suzy, thanks for sharing such lovely photos of spring and your Nature Journal, I'm sure it will be amazing when completed. Wishing you much inspiration for your new creating, glad you're back, hugs Robyn.
ReplyDeleteOh everything is so pretty! Our leaves here are about to die off and fall away in preparation for Winter and Cold and Snow.....but that also means warm fires, hot cocoa..and movies...and knit scarves..and beautiful sweaters....etc! So, I'm okay with it!
ReplyDeleteI'm also hosting a giveaway..you'll have to drop in and play!

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking in on me ... hasn't beeen the greatest but back at it - I am!
Your work is truly an oasis to stop by and visit!

Suzy - I am so so sorry for the loss of your father. I guess I missed that while I was away on travels. I can understand your loss - certainly I have been there - but my heart breaks to know that a friend is felling such a loss.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your beautiful journal has helped to get you motivated again and to know that WE MUST go on - its hard I know - I will say a prayer for you and keep you close in my heart.
Your spring photos are magnificent - I'm hoping that the warm breezes and scent of the flowers and songs of the birds - will all help you to heal and make peace with this loss.
