RR altered book...about cats

cats just want to take over the world...(sorry for the glare on the cat's face in the house window).  wish i would have made sure of the fabric artist that created the panel for "cat culture". sorry, again.

love what the artist did with the cat on upper page!  and i've always loved the quote about cats never forgetting that they were once worshiped as gods... explains a lot about their CATtitudes!!! don't you  think? (sorry. again! for the glare on the pyramids...)

the bohemian had a lot of fun creating these pages!  round robin altered books are so creatively inspiring... to be given a theme and basically told..."run with it".  kinda like doing school homework except a heck of a lot more FUN!!!!   hope there is major fun in your life today... don't forget to go out and play! when was the last time you flew a kite?  take the time, it's worth the pleasure and laughter!!

the flowery goodness of bohemia:

bohemian faerie snowblossom

bohemian sunshine supernovas

bohemian purple-honeybursts

 

bohemian bluebits-in-the-grass

hope the flowery goodness near your home is as beautiful! don't forget to use your imagination and paint your world the color "gorgeous"...  what color is that, you ask? well... what color do YOU think it is?  i'd love to hear your definition of the color "gorgeous".   happy lavish bouquet wishes to you...

the rest of the story...

O! look! up there in the yard!!

the bohemian has ALWAYS wanted an outdoor room!

but living in the pacific northwest makes it challenging at best. it's not the best year-round outdoor weather type of place. the bohemian is going to try it anyways!!! her prince charming bought her this lovely gazebo, spent 2 hours with her on the day before Mother's Day assembling it in 80 degree weather (which is VERY warm, for up here!), and then BBQing out there the next day for her and the royal children and the fairy granddaughter... it was  maaaahvelous!!!!

 of  COURSE she decorated it!

and now look! she has this lovely outdoor space in which to eat her breakfast and drink her coffee and...

and a special place out in the open air to make some art!!!

this art project you see on her table is for a very special friend of hers. this friend bought a large picture at a department store and when she got it up on her wall, she didn't like how it fit the space. so the bohemian is taking small portions of the large piece and making two smaller complementary pieces to go with it.  the bohemian is just full of joy to be able to sit outdoors with the breeze blowing and the sun shining and create art.  hope there's lots of art-making time in your day today. and that the warmth of the sun is embracing you. and that the spring breeze is caressing your hair...   okay, the bohemian got carried away there for a minute. happy outdoorsy wishes to you and yours...

something new in bohemia!

something delightful was happening in the bohemian's yard above her cottage! 

something sparkled in the air...

something dangled in the wind...










she felt magic was afoot for she had been able to post a few pictures to her blog!! so she will publish this post and be back very soon with the rest of the story!! right now she's off to make cookies for a fundraiser... she put it off as long as she could but now the time is at hand... no more procrastination!!!  a very merry cookie-sweet day to you all!

boy is blogger giving me trouble!!! i have lovely pictures to show you but....mmmmph. i will keep trying! i hate losing to a machine!!

bohemia by the sea... ( a little bit more)

 the bohemian is so thankful she lives near the sea...

 to be able to wander along the shore, walk upon the stones, smell the saltwater tang of the air...

 marvel at God's creation... the light, the colors, the textures, the animals...

 find a shocking dash of purple in the cold blue of the water...

discover with delight the patterns on a starfish's back...

what a glorious day of discovery and delight!!

AND: it's that time of year again for the bohemian!!  off she goes retreating to the peace and quiet of the gardens along with the women of her church...  she wishes you the beauty of spring, bursting into bloom in your corner of the world.  get out there and play in all that sunshine and beauty...can you still do cartwheels? swing on a rope swing? blow bubbles? fly a kite?  go outside and see if it is still in you.  salty wishes and ocean dreams to you all...

a day beside the bay...

oh the trouble "blogger" sometimes causes the bohemian!  she had lovely pictures of her time beside the bay... but alas, uploading was not cooperating.  it was a lovely day she had though; one of those rare and beloved days of sunshine sparkling on the water, the wind floating puffy clouds across the sky.  she and her drama queen daughter and her daughter's royal dog were treated to sightings of sea otter, purple starfish, fat sassy seagulls, as well as other adventurers, on foot, on two wheels, on four wheels, on dogleash...

maybe blogger will allow her to publish the rest of her pictures on another, more lucky day.  wishing you royal blue skies with white puffy clouds and water sparkles galore...
