BONJOUR SEPTEMBRE!

 

After our first summer as homeowners on the Cape, I am sure that many of you will assume that I am mourning the passage into September. Be assured that I am not. I can honestly say that we had such a splendid summer that I  have had my fill of it, and I say that not in a negative manner, but without any sarcasm: I have been totally filled up by summer, and believe that I am sated enough to last at least until December, and I am happy to get back into the routine of being home.

I welcome September here at pomegranatesandpaper with a new look to the blog.  I was busy tearing apart my art room and making trips to Ikea with Mr. Pom to buy new storage items, when out of the blue and  into my inbox came a delightful message from Charlotte Lyons. She had been surfing through my blog and felt that I needed a new look for fall, and, she rightfully chided me, I had next to nothing identifying me by name anywhere!

But Charlotte wasn't just nudging me as a friend to give some serious consideration to updating the blog, which I will be the first to admit, has languished this year. No, Charlotte took the time to  make me a new banner.  Isn't it lovely! That wasn't the end of it though. She thoughtfully sent it to me in two different sizes, and when I couldn't get it to fit, she logged onto my blog and went in and actually tinkered with it and changed the formatting.

Thank you, Charlotte, so much! I am continually wowed by the generosity of the artists that I have met in person and in the blogosphere. Charlotte has been a real role model for me in finding creative ways to teach classes on a small scale in our own backyards, so to speak.  (I am now nudging Charlotte to find a new time and place for a craft class before Christmas. It's not too late, Charlotte, really! We had such fun last winter!)
