just popping in for a moment to say hi-dee-ho, how are 'ya?!!
it seems like it's been forever since my "rest stop" began......and as it turns out, my break was quite timely because i've spent most of it trying to nurse a temperamental thyroid back to good health. i've surely had my share of naps and sleep over these past two weeks......so much so that i'm actually tired of resting! feeling much better now, i have much more energy, and i'm motivated to be back in the studio again and play with all of my toys!
i decided to ease on back into things by getting out some of my watercolors and do some mixing and painting (and i was thrilled to discover that yellow and blue still make green......). i've also started to get that itch to stitch again.....my fingers just can't stay away from pretty threads and fabulous fabrics......so glad i've had some rest so i can start on all of these projects i've been dreaming about......
thank you very much for all of your sweet comments,
notes and e-mails.......
i appreciate it so much, and i'm sending you a big cyber-hug!!!!

Welcome back and good for you! Glad you were able to listen to your body and take a time out:)
ps - you were missed. I checked your blog every day:)
so lovely!!
My thyroid is acting up, as well. It's astounding how such a tiny little butterfly-shaped gland in our bodies can cause such issues! Hope you continue to feel better.
LOVELY. Welcome back ! And take care! My chiropractor has a book out soon which I think might help you (it's about all the glands/organs and how they all work together - usually ! - and what you can do when thing go wrong and how to check which gland/organ is the problem.
Hello back!
You were sorely missed!
Your watercolor is so beautiful!
(Of course. You spoil us!)
How funny -- I just started a new thyroid Rx yesterday called Nature-throid. I hope this one is the ticket.
I hope you had some great R&R! :)
Hi !Welcome back bloggy friend. Glad you are doing OK. Take it easy. I look forward to seeing what you've been dreaming up.

Hi Lori. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with now that you have rested.
I've thought about you several times recently, missing your cheerful posts. I'm glad you're feeling rested, and, from someone who's been de-thyroided, I hear ya sister on the havoc that little thing can wreak (sp?!). Yea that you're back on top! :)
Welcome back....I hope the thyroid starts behaving soon. Your watercolour is pretty!
Good to see you back Lori and glad you are feeling much better.
Hugs Linda

Oh Lori, I'm so glad you popped in to say HI and to show us that ADORABLE Hello!!! Yes, get healthy girl, then you can come out and play some more!!
Welcome back Lori!!! The blogosphere just wasn't the same without you--but I hope you're feeling well rested and are ready to play once again. :)
I LOVE this little watercolor! I might have to give this style a try some time!
hello, watercolory beautiful! so glad to see you!!
so glad to hear you were able to get some much needed rest. take care.
Oh lori!!!!!!!!!! Lori's back!!!!
I can not even BEGIN to tell you how much I have missed you! Every single day I've thought about you and wished you well, worried that something was terribly wrong. I am relieved to hear from you, but I feel sad that you haven't felt well. Thyroid troubles can really knock one senseless, I know. I am glad that you took the necessary time to heal and rest. Love you and am so happy to "see you" again. It's just not the same without you! (I haven't been around as much I guess lately...trying to slow down to rest my own self). Happy October, my friend.♥
So glad you are feeling better Lori. You and your sweet~fun spirit are always missed. So glad you listened to the roar and rested.
♥ Lee Ann
ohh... i can't wait to see what you are getting ready to create! glad you are on the mend & practiced "self care"... we all need to do that at times!
I have a tempermental thyriod also so I know exactly what you are dealing with...
tired of being tired, the resting get old fast but once your back you will be on a roll with your creativity again, at leaste until next time.
Welcome Back.
cute!
so nice to see you're ready to come back and well rested. I like your colorful artwork :)
Welcome back to the blog village :)
Your lettering is just so lovely...hope to see more!
So good to hear your "voice" again Lori! I've missed your wit, and I'm glad you are feeling restored. ((Hugs))
Welcome back Lori! Love your watercolor! Glad to hear you are feeling better! :)
So happy to have you re-emerge, after a much needed rest. I'm so pleased you listened to your body and honored your needs. xoxo
Well, Hidie-Ho back atcha, Girlfriend. I'm sorry you had to deal with a health issue, but so glad it timed itself well for you.
And so nice to know that all is right with the universe (green being green, and all).
Welcome back, and happy playing,
xoxo,
Kate
Yay, you are back! I have missed your blog and your presence on the net. So glad you had a chance to rest and you are feeling much better. Hugs and love,
Glad you took time out;Thyroids can cause so many issues. I have autoimmune thyroid disease, so I know. It amazes me how a butterfly shaped gland, is the master controller of the body, besides brain and heart, it can really wreck
havoc! Happy you are better; Have you tried yoga, it is suppose to help the thyroid~
Ditto what someone else said--you spoil us tremendously with your artwork and posts. Glad your rest was beneficial. Don't ever forget to take care of YOU, Lori!
Hey Lori,
You sure are my kind of girl!
Love getting back to that painting textures, and creating new things.
Missing you,
Hugs, Darlene
What a delight to find a new post from you today! Welcome back!! I sure have missed your reflections and cheery art ventures. I'm glad to hear that you got some much needed rest and that you're itching to make some new art. So glad to have you back!
Rest is so important, and has that way of refueling our creative tank ... Enjoy!
Hi Sweetie! It was so nice to see your cheery little "Hello"! I'm very happy you're starting to feel better and you're playing in your studio again. Blogland just isn't the same without your happy art and smiling words! xoxo Paulette :)
welcome back

funny guys!
You are so inspiring - your work is bee-you-ti-FUL!!!
Can you tell me, with this lettering technique, did you do the letters first, then the watercolors, or the other way around?
