Yesterday my friend Tineke payed me a visit and she gave me this gift of Spring on a rainy day.
Isn't this cute? Like a little Spring garden
While we were having coffee Beau's (see my previous post) Mom dropped by to bring me flowers!
A gorgeous bouquet
to thank me for the birth mandala I made for the birth of her son.
I was so surprised to get a present for a present. It made me blush.
But I was happy she was so enthusiastic about the mandala. She told me Beau's room had a lot of deer in it. A deer lamp and hangers. I didn't know that. I am always happy to find out that the animal I picked for someone's mandala is the right choice ;)
Tonight I will go to Mantra singing and tomorrow we will visit Lars' school they have an open day.
He will drive home with us. Unfortunately I will leave the next day for Quito for 6 days.
Today I updated my site Added my 11 latest mandalas and found out Farah's mandala was number 100 (of the painted birth mandalas in acrylic) Together with the others I think I have created 184 by now. And still I enjoy creating them just as much as in the beginning.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead of you.

How lovely to get a present for a present and 'spring' to boot. Shows how much she loved the gift. I LOVE that you did Birds on my mandala since I am a bird lover. Bummer about having to leave just when your son comes home. Have a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteHow perfectly lovely to receive *Spring* as gifts!!! When I see your *Snowflakes*still tumbling down on your blog, I remember that Winter is still in force around most of the World. (We have been blessed with no rain since December and a generally mild Winter so far...)
ReplyDeleteHow magical (and so *YOU*) to have created a Mandala for Beau that is perfect for him!
Safe (and I hope) WARM weather in Quito.... (more feet by the pool shots)! A-ha-ha! Say *Welcome Home * to Lars!
Love,

What lovely gifts coming your way. Spring in a planter is fabulous. It is good that you can see Lars before you leave. I hope you have a great time in Quito. At least it should be warm and sunny.
ReplyDeleteI think you deserve a gift for a gift! Your mandals are amazing. I remember crying when I opened mine at the beginning of our friendship. You know where it hangs and that I see it and honor it every day, just as I do our friendship♥
ReplyDeleteYou always pick the right animal! You are in tune with the Universe ;)
I hope we can talk or skype when you get back. We'll have a lot to catch up on.
miss you and love you!
xoxo
Lo♥

Travel safe.

ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone - you certainly deserve a present for a present and one that brings on spring is just lovely. Those flowers are beautiful and makes one remember that spring WILL come - as I look out the window at the snow!!!
