Back From Vacation
I know, I know. You have been wondering what happened to me.....You have, haven’t you?
I am fine, I just gave myself a little vacation.
My vacation started in Iceland and Denmark and then continued here at home. Now, I did not sit on my hands, or just stare into space.....OK!!! just for a few moments, then back to my working vacation. I made ten more of these.
Then I battled the Gypsy Moth caterpillars and the results of their eating all the leaves of several of our Oak Trees.....what goes in must come out.
On top ot that.....it rained!!!
Here is what I had to do, until we decided that four hours of cleaning the walk with scrub brush and a hose is not the way to go.....the pressure hose arrives today.
There are hundreds of Gypsy Moth Fellas, doing whatever it is they do, besides fly. When I walk out the door they come in droves and head straight for my face.....now, I like attention....but, this is just too much.
Come to think of it after we left Denmark I have not had much of a vacation.....OK!!! I did put my computer aside for a while and ignored my cyber friends....but is that any kind of vacation?....I would call that neglect.......I am so sorry :( However, I am back for better or worse.
We had four glorious days in Iceland with friends and family.
When I think back on our time there, I realized that almost everyone we saw on this trip, is an Artist.
My cousin Elinros is a painter, my very good friend of many years, Katrin is a Puppet and Mask artist and a costume designer both freelance, for movies etc., and for the National Theater of Iceland.
We had dinner at the home of longtime friends, the husband is the owner and head designer of Jens jewelry shop in Iceland, he is also a sculptor. At the dinner party was an other artist, she is the sister of our hostess. Since there were four artist at the party, there was a lot of Art talk.....I thought I had died and gone to Artist Heaven.
I will tell you more about my Artist Friends and Family in Iceland in later posts.....there will be photos and links. I promise!!!!!

I WAS beginning to worry a bit.
Your trip sounds heavenly. I'm sorry you came back to so much yucky work, though.
Me too... I was just about to e-mail you... and here you are! Welcome back!!! And, it is a good thing to take vacations, looonnngggg vacations, even from cyberspace!!!
Nessa: Thank you for your concern.
I should have written a post about intending to take a vacation from blogging.
It was a wonderful trip, I still have the glow from all our wonderful experiences.
Did you have the Gypsy Moth problems?
Lea: Thank you Lea...all is fine. You are right it is good to take long vacations.
I needed a little time away from cyberspace...I did miss my cyber friends, however...it is good to back with a fresh mind.
Only 4 days in Iceland? You poor thing - how did you manage? (I only put my nose to the window in Keflavik as we spent a few hours there looking out over the land on our layover from Amsterdam :-()
Glad you are back - we missed you!
Terry: That was it only four days...I was in a hurry to see Amma's little boy :)
You need to plan better...more time in Iceland...but at least you could buy hardfisk and Opal :)
Thank you :)
YAY!!! You are BACK and NO ONE told me! FOR SHAME I SAY, FOR SHAME! ;-P
Man did I miss you and MAN is it good to have you back and MAAAAAN is your art simply breathtaking and DIOS MIO am I in awe of you and in love with it all I tell you, IN LOVE WITH IT ALL!!!!!
Lil' BoheMia is currently snoozing away but, come morning, she will be thrilled to see your very latest FO SHO!
I am so very happy to have you back and to hear all is well and that you had such an amazingly delightful time my dearest LovaMóa! I have missed you dearly and am DANCIN' THE DANCE ELECTRIC at having you back FO SHO!!!
Yes - should have planned better. All the hardfisk is long et up, and the opals and licorice are disappearing fast! My Sweetie's Mom is on a plane as I write this bound for Keflavik for 2 months. I'm so envious!!
Welcome home.
I was fretting worried. So glad you were just on vacation. I suppose I could have delved further... But, I assumed you were in new baby heaven and that you needed a break. Never thinking you were treaveling the world. SO glad you are back! xxooo
Mo'a it is so nice to see you again - I thought maybe you were taking the whole summer off to be with the baby
So glad you're back
MizBohemia: I am back and find that you are on your way to SF...Wow!!!that is great...I am so happy for you.
Thank you, it is good to be missed by you. Huggs and kisses to all the Bohemians from LovaMo'a
Terry: Here also....Mmmmm!!! that was good.
I hooked my Danish family on the chocolate covered licorice...the one from Iceland is the best.
Vanessa: You are right, I was in new baby heaven. Not quite the world just my little corner of it :)
Rachael: Oh!, how I wish I could spend the whole summer with him. I will however see him again in September, October and at Christmas...so I cannot complain.
It is good to be back and to catch up on good cyber friends.
Glad you're back. Why does that curled garden hose look like a piece of art?
Doug: Good to be back. What can I tell ya :)
We have no moths but lots of mosquitoes.
Welcome back, Mo'a - both from your actual trip and from your hiatus from cyberspace!I'm going to take my happy butt over to your other blog as soon as I write this so I can see Denmark! LOVE all the beautiful faces you made! Are they pins?
Nessa: That is what I get for living in the Pines...Mosquitoes ugh!!!
Kai: Thank you Kai...it feels good to be back.
The faces have a pin back...most of the customers use them on purses...I was asked to make smaller ones to use on shawls, scarfs etc. That is when I came up with the baby faces.
Your holiday sounds lovely. You have a unique talent - very beautiful creations :)
Shanti
Shanti: Oh!!! It was. Thank you :)
Ooh I just knew you'd be back with tales and pictures and...garden hoses ;) I'm to live a creative life!
Your trip does indeed sound heavenly but glad you're back.
WOW! Sounds like you had lots of fun and a lovely vacation. Can't wait to see pictures.
A house full of artists OH MY!! I can see why you thought you had died and gone to heaven. :-)
Love & Hugs
Fran
G: And that is just half of it...the saga continues.
Fran: I am still glowing from my vacation.
It was Nirvana :)
