Welcome to 2016!

Well, we survived yet another year.  

​I have to admit, I have no idea what I'm going to end up writing about.  

​I had thought I'd just make this a Quoteful Cop out, but that seemed like too much work.    
“Quotes are nothing but inspiration for the uninspired.”- Richard Kemph
So I decided to share some pictures of the CoW.  Because I can.  Because I may or may not have promised pics back in November or so, when we started rearranging rooms here.  Unfortunately I can't seem to find any of the pre-rearranging pics; I think the sock monster crawled out of the laundry room & deleted them from my phone.  He's a brat that way. 

Anyway, these are just a few pics of what the CoW looks like now.  It is still a work in progress as I still have rearranging & more downsizing/purging of unused things to do.  I'm pleased though, because you can see the floor & I think the energy flows better.  


Picture
Some people have altars for remembrance, prayer or faith based reasons, meditation, ritual sacrifices...I just have one for soap. (The pics above it are the Squab [l] & Chicken [r] from waaaay too long ago.
Picture
At the top of the southwest corner of the room I have Wiener Schnitzel Von Hasenpfeffer (WSVH). He likes to swing & keep watch over everything.

Picture
Above my (north facing) window is the most awesome 'Mitch' by my amazing friend Shani. There's a story behind him, but basically Mitch is a six foot tall candy cane in a powder puff blue tuxedo. I love Mitch.
Picture
In the northwest corner (above the picture of a Weeping Angel that the Squab's friend gave me) I have my wind chime. Because I like wind chimes. I also like this pic better in black & white.

Picture
The northeast corner, behind the entrance to the Cave of Wonder is Babooze. He's WSVH's best friend & also watches over things.
Picture
Behind these doors lies a magical portal to worlds of excitement & wonder. Or, if you are the Stork it's the closet with the holiday decorations, all my blank canvases & office supplies. I like my interpretation better.

Picture
Every creative space should invite/invoke some magic. This is the faerie chime I made to let the magical beings know that they are welcome. It has a couple of tiny bells (for beautiful, magical music), a pendant that says 'Believe' (to let them know I do believe in magic) & heart (to let them know this space is full of love).
Picture
Below the faerie chime is my desk/headquarters/place where most everything happens. And all the stuff. The little bookcase (not visible but the lamp is sitting on it) has my permanent markers, & various other createy weapons. Fun fact: the blue lei (closest to the corner) on the wall is a money lei (don't get greedy, it's all pennies) that my sister's best friend gave me when I graduated from high school. I might be mistaken, but I think it has the same number of pennies as the year I graduated ('92).

Well, there you have it.  The only pics of the CoW that I deem not blurry enough to share.  I hope you enjoyed them.  By the way...

Yes, I do have various pieces of art from both my boys & my friends on the walls, as well as some of my creations (there is a lot of my stuff on the walls of our guest room).  

​Yes, I do name my stuffed animals.  Doesn't everybody?

Aloha hugs until later gang,
-Clare
