Wishing every person who takes a moment from their day to visit patricepastel a most wonderful beginning to 2017. Christmas holds its wonder for each of us. For me, I end up back into my childhood thinking of my grandfather who made everything special. I grew up having a real fir tree in the living room, stockings hung on the mantle, a roaring fire in the fireplace with chestnuts actually roasting on Christmas Eve and my mom playing classic Christmas carols on the upright piano. Oh, how I miss my grandparents! I have vintage ornaments I so carefully preserved from my grandmother. How would I know that as the years pass by each and every ornament would take me back to the smell and the sights and the feelings of being less than 5 years old?
May your Christmas hold memory that is kind to your heart. If it be past, present or a future memory that makes it dear - think on that! May 2017 be a year that brings you peace and hope and love. The God kind of love that never runs dry and restores.
Best to You!
Patrice
A Still Life
I remember my art teacher when I was 12 years old who taught me the principles of creating a still life drawing or painting. I learned that in art I could capture time and not let it pass, but keep it as a secret keepsake in this treasure chest of life. Thank you to My First Love; My Lord and Savior. For it is He who gives and creates, teaching us through this journey. I am forever grateful to see His extraordinary glory in every ordinary moment.
"...be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" Psalm 46:10

Spring and Ballet Pink and French Knot Rosebuds
There is something about smocking and pastel pink and French knot rosebuds that warms me inside. Could be because I swoon over the techniques of days gone by, or maybe it just takes me back to my ballet shoes. Whatever it may be, Spring is here for sure this week and I am preparing for my favorite time of the year. May the Lord bless you on this Monday, in every small task you may undertake today.
