on this november day…

hello my dearest hollie,

it has been far too long. today is tuesday, election day and i sit here thinking of many things and many things to come. i will be voting today but right now i sit alone, with sweet sounds filling my ears and just taking in this moment. so much has been going on, i have really tried to be busy artistically too. i’ve been working on my littlebighead blog, recording my daily life at owlacrobat, adding original works to the shop and i even started a new little shop just for crafty things. nat and i have been busy also, doing little projects here and there. yesterday we completely our bee hive which we both are absolutely thrilled with. i posted it on my new bee themed blog, bee haunting.

the weather here has finally began to cool a bit and i was thrilled to wake this morning knowing that it had rained through out the night. walking outside the door, it was bright, beautiful with vestiges of the night’s rain, including the wonderful smell of dampened earth. speaking of seasons, i have kept a watchful eye on the 45 tree and it is still green, it has yet to turn gold and red. i am just waiting for it…

this weekend should proved to be adventurous and fun. we will be leaving early saturday morning to sedona, arizona with my parents. i am looking forward to it and i know it will be cold! there may be snow and i hope there is because natalie has never seen snow. it will be quite exciting for her and for us as well! i know snow might not be that big of a deal to you, since you do get to see it

my friend, i have missed you and we must begin sending cards again. until then, may the day find you well. vote your conscience and hope for a better tomorrow!

your friend,

andrea

hello dear hollie,

natalie is at school right now so i have a few moments of quiet and solitude (that you sometimes need as a mom. well, as any human i suppose!) i’ve been meaning to write you since it’s been awhile. i am still drawing and trying to get the shop up. i haven’t had any new orders lately but that’s okay. i’ve been busy with various things, various endeavors. i’ve been blogging alot on demeter though i am still a bit irked why my photos are not coming up (i originally exceeded my photo limit but thought i had fixed that). that’s pretty much a life blog, writing about things that we are doing and what not. i recently began a new livejournal, owlacrobat, where i think it might be more personal. random thoughts, some photos and artwork. sometimes i just need a place to be a little more than the everyday things. i know that doesn’t make much sense, but i get it.

another reason why i’ve been meaning to write to you is because of a tree. yes, a tree. everyday while driving nat to school i take the same street that are lined with trees. one in particular always stands out to me. i call it the “45″ tree because right in front of it is the speed limit sign. this tree is my tree. since natalie started going to school i’ve seen that tree change with each season. i seen it turn orange, red and gold and then bare and skeletal for fall and winter. then! with the arrival of spring, beautiful white, fluffy blossoms! now with the onset of summer, it is full in it’s greenery. i think of you often when i see this tree and i am reminded of the changing of seasons. i hope you are well and i hope this brought a lovely little visual to you.

xoxo,

andrea

hello hollie!

hey hollie,

things here have still been a bit crazy. well, not to crazy but you know what i mean. i’ve been working on seedlings a lot lately and i have finally created my one (and hopefully last) personal blog, demeter.  i just received my new buttons that i made to donate to etsy for animals. don’t worry though, your card is on the list of things to do this week. i tend to get a bit of a one track mind when i ‘discover’ a new endeavor. i do always have wanderpost on the mind though…

i must tell you, your new cards look great. how is everything with the studio coming along?
