Well Hello, Hello!

Hello dear bloggy world friends.  I changed gears last year and decided to take a break from blogging and combine my posts over at the PAPAYA! blog.  But alas I've been neither here nor there very much.  So much going on in the real world I've had little online sharings.  But I've been missing this personal blog of mine and feeling very sentimental about it as of late.  So I've decided to take a rest from facebook (oi vey!) and other online distractions and come back home.  This blog has been my home for many years and I'm moving back in!  I don't think I've ever been busier than I have this year. It's been a magical, powerful time in my life.  I can hardly digest the changes and experiences.  And since I'm cleaning off the cobwebs here on my dusty blog I'll recap my year thus far...  It's been about hitting the drawing board and going back to fresh paint and pencil and taking the long way through... Making new pieces for PAPAYA! and exploring more basic materials again. It's been a year of new friends and magical old ones.  It's been a year of traveling to new and old favorite places...Like Hawaii, Guatemala & San Miguel Allende, Mexico, Belize and all over the United States.

It's been a precious year about Love and family...

It's been a year of cooperatively working harder than ever... And forging amazing new partnerships and relationships.And playing really hard while we work.
Collecting new ideas and directions... And dreaming up new dreams... This year has also been about many dreams come true...



I've missed sharing here with you all and so much has been happening.  I'll be dreaming of my bed since I'll be on the road most of this month for trade shows.

But I'll be using this as home from now on too.  Welcome back my online friends.  Can't wait to catch up!

Anahata, I am very happy to see you are back in your «online home».
The first canvas of your post, as I told you on facebook where you kind of shared your progress with it, is just amazing. It makes me wonder «how does she do it» and it passes strong emotions.

Hallelujah & Amen!

Your blog was my first ever introduction to the blogosphere waaaaaay back when and despite being a person that is not particularly sentimental, I had grown quite attached (perhaps unhealthily so!) to your near daily postings. I mean c'mon, who could fault me, it was Anahata-fabulous thru and thru. A little slice of delicious, saucy, sassy, overflowing creative cyber goodness that was THE place to stop by and sop up some good ol' home cooked artistic, insightful gloriousness, so when you decided to shut it down and move over to the collective company blog it was a sad day for moi and more than a little hard to say goodbye!

But you're back and it's the some of the best news that I've heard in a good long while....
BIENVENDOS!!

You have made one girl (very, very, very, very) happy!

xo, Lisa

I am so happy! Tonight I made a fresh cup of hot tea, settled into the sofa, moved the laptop from my desk to the coziness of the living room and chose your blog first to visit! Welcome back! Love your blog and work.

Yeay! Great you're back! I really missed your stories and pictures. (Knew it was worthwhile to stay subscribed to your personal blog!) Thanks for taking the time to share all this, while you are so busy. Very much appreciated.
