SO funny!<br />I would love to live in a tiny totally organized house - I tell my boys that someday I will be living in one in one of their backyards! Scares 'em every time! Seriously though, I picture the inside looking like one of those model homes at IKEA that has everything in such a tiny space - so cool!Michellemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812499413831211360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-54490821496446580882014-09-19T14:21:14.553-03:002014-09-19T14:21:14.553-03:00Hello via "Creative everyday".

Art and awareness practise , as well as meditation, are great resources to find inner peace, and , yes, our poor world needs peace more than ever, so, let's bring our small light in it.<br />Your painting of the little boy is gorgeous !! Love your abstract too, lovely colors!<br />Best regards.Jeanne-Sylviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928882846367045151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-59709310035353371752014-09-18T00:17:32.799-03:002014-09-18T00:17:32.799-03:00I love those houses you posted and I hate those ba...I love those houses you posted and I hate those bags and shoes too :) Painting on wood is wonderful, I do it all the time.

It's funny how our childhoods often shape who we become and what we like or dislike as adults.

I lived in cramped surroundings with no indoor bathroom as a child, so I value space and having more than one bathroom.<br />I love the painting on wood of the boy with the marbles. You have such great talent.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006293795541608715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-54662950116972142802014-09-16T08:57:05.954-03:002014-09-16T08:57:05.954-03:00The boy with the marbles is an excellent piece!!!!...The boy with the marbles is an excellent piece!!!!

I had to wear orthopedic shoes as a kid (*shivers* the horror!) and it ASTOUNDS me how many "modern" shoes look like the terrible ones they had on display at the place where they made the shoes. (Again, *shivers*). They literally look identical- strange thick heels and steels bits and fussy straps... When I had to wear those shoes all I wanted was to wear a pair of Nike running shoes, and the day I was finally able to put on a pair of Nikes was heaven for me. I can't imagine willingly going back into Torture Shoes, and whenever I see anyone wearing them it makes me wonder, a little bit... amen to simplicity, and comfort, and peace, and evolution. And self-compassion (comfy shoes for ALL women!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204422715168104427noreply@blogger.com
