Blutterflies & Coffee

My God-daughter looked up at me awhile ago while skipping down the street and exclaimed that when she grew up she was going to be a "butterfly" and added "flutter flutter flutter flutter".

I have a huge soft spot for butterflies. I haven't bought many things recently but the couple things that I did get might display some sort of a theme.

A butterfly purse (with cute change purse)
A butterfly thermos
A butterfly mug (the striped one is for Sarah)
And my mother-in-law bought me these SUPER cute tea cups 2 Christmas' ago.
That's right the common factor is coffee...
You need a purse to buy a coffee.
You use a thermos to keep the coffee hot
You use the mugs to drink the coffee
You observe people drinking from the cute teacups while you have a cup of coffee

You can drink coffee from whatever it comes in! My Grandmother only owned teacups but she would serve her blend of coffee and chickory from the fine bone china with saucers to boot. In our Anglo entrenched background the coffee mug only became popular in the 60's. But at least now we don't have to have 2 or 3 cups to get our caffiene fix!

No teamugs. Don't listen to her.

I want the thermos. But in brown. With coffee beans on it.

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
