I would want to be a weeping willow tree

Here is a preview of some of my new paintings that will be added to my etsy shop as of July 5th

Here are just a few ways to add handmade to your life without giving up the technology we all love

• Shop at your local Farm or Farmer Market
• Buy organic or local grown or made products
• Try to make something you always wanted to ( going to the library and looking in the craft DIY section  usually has  a lot of books on different subjects it is a great place to start)
• Ask friends and family or even look in your favorite magazines for new recipes and then have fun in the kitchen
• Take a class at your local yarn, pottery, bead, or fabric store
• Shop at online handmade market place like Etsy
• Grow some herbs in a bright windowsill
• Grab a camera and start taking pictures of things that inspire you or least make you smile
• Visit local craft fairs, especially around the holiday season
• Restore /Repurpose  items found at flea and vintage markets
• Buy bread and baked goods from your local bakery

If you have any more ideas please post them in the comments

I have to say my favorite part of summer is the Farmer’s Market.

I encourage everyone to find their local farmer market, or local farm.  Here is a link to Local Harvest.org to find the closest  Farmer Market .

I will be posting some of my simple recipes I create with my farmer’s market purchases this summer and fall.

I have decided to move Vieira Girl into a new direction. So I am having a closeout Sale!

Shop here and get your favorite post before July 4th

I have been reading a blog that a lovely jewelery designer writes call Makeunder My Life.  Jess like I believes  in living a simpler life  and really examining what you have and what you can get rid of. She recently asked readers to apply for a Dream Reporter someone to post once a week on how they are acheiving a personal goal. I applied but I wasn’t chosen  but she asked if she could share my story.

If you are trying to reach your dream, designing intentions or just want to see how other accomplish their dreams I strongly recommend that you start reading her blog.   Jess also makes some stunning jewelry too.   To read my story Teri\’s Designed Life

Here are a few of my new digital painting I created. I  was inspired  walking through the flower markets  in Paris on a trip I took  last Spring.  The prints will be for sale in my shop July!

The last few months I have been going back to the basic and work on different techniques. Here are are few things I have been working on, I am not sure if I will be staying on this track but I am  having fun creating them. These are still a bit rough looking. Let me know what you think?
