Me Time = Tea Time


In the busy mix of juggling work, home, school...and making time for husbands, children, family, friends AND of course, art...it's easy to often neglect some much needed (and overdue) ME TIME. One of my favorite ways to reconnect with myself and dear friends is through the ritual of tea.

There's a charming little tea house close to my home (Tea by Two) where I can walk through the purple glass front door and be transported into a whole 'nother world of tradition and whimsy...a place where people take (and make) time to not only enjoy a spot of tea with dainty little finger sandwiches and scones, but they take the time to cherish each other's company. My girlfriends and I try to make time once a month for tea and it is something that I sooo look forward to each and every time. And, i would highly recommend this experience to other girls out there. The picture that I posted is a sign that I cut from wood and painted; it reminds me that I am never too busy to make time for myself.

Thanks so much for your interest Loriloo! The answer to your question is yes, my goal is to include one or two projects, with instructions, each month...and I am working on a good starting project. Still getting my feet wet. As far as the sign, I draw the design on paper first, cut it out and tranfer it to wood which i then cut with a jigsaw. Stay tuned for more fun stuff!!!!!
