Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Winter Walk and WIP’s}

December 6, 2015

This is my healing spot. The place I go to to try and get exercise the best I can. The place where I learned to try and walk the best I can in a new way.

Today, I went with my dog Hailey (you will see her in lower right hand corner) and while I do not walk as far as I like, I walk. It was cold and sunny today and I went to drink in the sunshine before winter hits. Hailey does not mind going along the trail…she can meet new friends and smell new smells. I am so grateful for the Lakeland Trail. It is flat and safe for me and it has helped me try to return to who I once was.

This is what is on my work table. I really have been slacking on anything creative. But, I did sit down and finish a few of these over the weekend and that did my soul good!

About Sugar Lump Studios

I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.

    So glad you have that nice trail with railing to help you along. I am back from a 70 minute walk. Really is refreshing and gives me energy to do more throughout the day. Love all your pretty collage work. And really like that quote. Best wishes,

    It looks to be a perfect spot and even from the photograph there is a sense that this is a healing place and your walks much be made all the better for having your lovely companion at your side.
    So glad to read that you have managed to have some creative time and that it helped your soul.
    Wishes

    That is a inviting picture…I would love to come along on a walk with you someday. How wonderful that you have this available to you!
    Your WIP all look gorgeous. Yay that it lifted your spirit to do them.
    I resonate with the image of the two ladies. I feel just like that!
    Happy hugs,
    Terri
