painting our living room wall

i painted on our living room wall last weekend...beginning with the paint color "toothpaste"
& i loved finding the "wonder brush"

i felt drawn to draw on a bigger scale for a while & it felt so good to show-up.

magical carpet

this was inspired by hearing

of a child who

dressed up as a

i heard this while knitting/being/chatting

with lovely women at a retreat.

& imaginations traveling.
