When I first started listening to the podcasts (you can also subscribe to them in itunes), I didnt know many of the creatives Alison was interviewing and the beauty of these resources is you can just go back time after time as your own knowledge grows and awareness of artists does too. (im sure you know many of them already!) Enjoy.
First Friday Giveaway
As I am still in Spain soaking up the silence, sea air and sand, I wanted to share some of that with you. So this months giveaway will be a 11×8.5 glossy print of something I’ve photographed whilst taking time out. (photos to choose from will be revealed on Tuesday!). To win, all you need to do is add a comment below, adding a recent find of yours or for this month something you have done to completely switch off, rest and recharge. Winner will be chosen at random on Tuesday.
I’m back off to sit under my umbrella and watch the sun glisten on the waves….ahhhhh. Enjoy your weekend all (Happy 4th to all of you in the USA).
I've been reading for pleasure. No school books, articles or tv. Just a good book of my own choosing to escape into – it's bliss!
I look forward to catching up when you're back!
Enjoy xx

What a lovely week you are having!
I too have decided to "reduce" the time I spend online and instead use it to quietly sketch in bed or outside, listening to the birds sing. It's been wonderful for my soul!
hugs and lots of love,
Kelly
your relaxation time sounds just heavenly!
thanks for letting me share some of my recent "finds" from some favorite thrift shops:
sherbet and soda glasses
red painted wire basket
wood box
…all found yesterday and this morning! YAY!!all will be used in my creative play-space as i continue the renovations =-)
OH! and i found a fun decor piece of 'stars and stripes' to celebrate Independence Day – thanks for the shout out for us Yankees Louise!
I signed up for Dream lab with Andrea and Jen and pulled 3 of their rest cards for the weekend that say: take a cool, refreshing bath, close your eyes for 5 minutes and ask an older person what matters….I plan to do all three this weekend!
Can't wait to hear more about your trip!! And I hope to win one of your prints!!!
Dearest Lousise, sounds like a wonderful week! Thanks so much for sharing CraftCast! Have fun soaking in the sun at beautiful spain! Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to yoU!
I'm going to Oregon this coming Tuesday, so I'll be resting, hanging out with my sister and her babe and definitely recharging.
Ah, your time away sounds heavenly! I'm super busy right now, but I've been taking little breaks and hopping on my bike, even if it's only a few minutes. I feel relaxed and recharged, as we've been having such gorgeous weather! Have fun! xo cindy
Hi Louise, my schedule has changed a bit for the summer so I have turned my 5am alarm off and have enjoyed sleeping in.
Enjoy the sun and sand!
Oh, and I will be seeing you at Squam for sure!!
xxoo

Hi Louise,
On Saturday, I "found" two hours of alone time on my deck to read a book on Creativity that I have been wanting to start. Your Spain getaway sounds wonderful! Have fun

Tai Chi on the beach near my house, sometimes with friends. Today was sunny and warm, an Eagle flew overhead, the wind blew the grasses behind me…. AH!
I am new to your blog and am very inspired by your work! I have been spending time with family in a place where I don't have cell service. So I just turned off my phone and haven't worried about it or thought about it for 3 weeks! It feels very freeing 🙂 Thanks!
