Focus on Life Week 33 - Whats In Season

This year we've already had a bumper crop of blackberries. So this weeks Focus on Life blog prompt of "what's in season" is an easy one for me to do. I've been picking daily and getting upwards of 10+ cups depending on the sunshine. I see blackberry smoothies this winter!

They seem to have crept into my working colour palette as well, a lot of my beads have purples and blues in them lately.

Focus on Life Week 32 - From Where I Stand

This weeks Focus on Life topic is "From Where I Stand" and the minute this topic came in via email I knew exactly what photo I'd use.

This photo is taken from my happy spot. It's the back corner of our property in Alberta, every time we go out there I walk back there and sit on a large rock and think. My heart is firmly rooted in the fact that one day this is where we will live. I can picture a small cabin by the rock overlooking a watering hole in my mind as clear as if it already exists.
