It’s time for me to try to get back on track with my blog. This November… My grandmother spent the month in the NSICU and is now finally in a rehab center. I had a plethora of doctor appointments. Grades were due for the first marking period, followed by 26 parent teacher conferences. Another stress factor? We were hoping on decorating and finishing our dining room before our Thanksgiving feast, but we’re running a little late. Maybe before New Year’s Eve. Due to my high stress levels, Thanksgiving break was needed now more than ever.
Five things reduce stress for me: 1) baking, 2) painting, 3) friends, 4) bubble baths and 5) well, nevermind… Even though my break wasn’t stress free, it was filled with stress reducers. The best way to end my break? In an empty house, pulling out a fresh blank canvas… or three. I quickly painted this triptych of alliums (my favorite bulb flower) for our dining room. My mind and soul relaxing with each stroke, back to a place where I feel more balanced.
Allium Triptych
The photo was taken with bad lighting at a bad angle. Once Hubster hangs the paintings on the wall I will update the post with a better picture.
Now it is time for a bubble bath and an early night to bed.
How was your Thanksgiving?

Very pretty, a perfect way to de-stress, now people who view your paintings will de-stress as well:)
I hope so!
What a great stress relief. Hope things calm down soon.
Thanks, me too! Maybe I should be painting more often…
Allium are a favorite of mie, too, and you painted them beautifully. I hope your Grandmother is doing better and that your life, school and all, is returning to normal.
Thanks! 🙂

We have pillows that match this. Good luck with your nesting!
I’ve seen pillows with alliums too, where did you get yours? I’ve been looking for a fabric print that’s just right.
