Pinteresting: Rainy Days

Hi lovelies,

Spring weather is so random at times. One half of the day could be full of sunshine and clear skies. Then, the next thing you know its dark skies and full on rain showers.  But the day doesn't have to turn into gloom and doom. I think these Pinterest finds will do just the trick to even make your rainy days joyful or at least fashionable.

Hi Lovelies,

I can't get enough of flowers. How can I? They are too beautiful to go unnoticed even beyond the garden. Here is just a sampling of what I'm pinning.

How does your garden grow?

Good day lovelies,

I am beginning to feel the freshness of Spring in the air. Seattle's typical showers are making appearances and the temperature is rising just a teensy bit. What I look forward to during this time of year are the flowers and blossoms. Oh yes, going outside to enjoy the greenery is a fave leisurely activity. Anyway, as I was thinking about the bounty of Spring, I thought about how much I have grown in life and business and observing what still needs tending. This inquiry reminded me of a note I posted on my personal Facebook page back in 2010. Here is an excerpt of that which poses the question, "How does your garden grow?" Whenever you can, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on how you are providing self-care and growing. Until next time, have a beautifully designed day.

As I was sitting here thinking about all the giving we do for others, the thought of self-giving popped up. So the question/message I’m posing for you is “How does your garden grow?”For those that have a green thumb, tending to a garden is a pleasant moment of caring for what has been planted. Continuous tending leads to beautiful flourishes. In regards to self-giving, the garden consists of the human spirit, mind, body, and heart. The fertile soil in this case is love, support, laughter, and relief from worries. Without these nutrients, one becomes lifeless, hopeless, doubtful, and drained. Enrich your garden with more thanks for being alive. Laugh a little more than you did the day before. Share a kind word with others, even if it’s a stranger. Tell yourself how magnificently created you are. Give yourself Tender Loving Care. So again, I ask “How does your garden grow?”

Take care,

Good day lovelies!

I hope your day is going swell. I've been all about town this past week or two and so I'm finally back in the creative cave to make art.  Today's focus is back to building a new collection, Garden Party. Since Spring is just around the corner, I'm already excited about the flowers blooming, floral dresses, lace, tea parties, and soirees in gardens. Anywho, all of these accoutrements have inspired the collection to come. Take a sneak peek into what's in progress.

Take care,

Darnita

Bounty of Spring Blossoms

 

Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom.  They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.  ~Jim Carrey

These past couple of days have been amazing in Seattle and surrounding areas. The sun has been shining brightly and the temperature has been just right to go without a jacket. Yesterday, I made my way out into the sun and into the mountains but not without my trusty camera. As I enjoyed the fresh air, I couldn't help but to capture the lovely flowers saying hello. If I didn't have allergies causing me strife, I would consider Spring as my favorite season.

Spring 2010 Cotton Smoothie Tees

My Cotton Smoothie tees are up and ready for the Spring. I've taken down the tees from the past seasons. If there was a tee you wanted to buy, but it's down, just send me a message. I don't mind putting them back on the market.

I think my fave tee our of this collection is my "Eye Heart Me" tee. It's nice to have for Valentine's Day, but I think it's a good tee to wear when you are feeling a little down in the dumps.
