Trevor the Pocket Deity....

It is great to be back in blog land after my studio time!!!

 not just great... that's an understatement

It is crazy great... I missed it an unhealthy amount great

feel like I am home after a long trip great... well you get the idea...

So how did studio time go you may be asking?

Did I get all the things done that I had on my desk?

Are deadlines no longer crushing my will to live?

Did I give the blog a facelift? 

and set up a blog shop?

Did I give in and clean the house?

well the answers are

fine thanks, not really, kind of, added some pages at the top, didn't even think of it and briefly

I got enough done that I can at least delude myself that things are under control

which sums up the state of the house as well come to think of it

and while I didn't make as much progress in some projects as I had planned

and didn't even start others

the imminent deadlines have been met 

and all others appear to be manageable

so crisis averted and the world is looking just fine and dandy ...

I may be a touch misguided but I kind of think I was helped along

by the appearance in my life of a pocket deity

This thing must have some pretty powerful vibes 

as it managed to offset possible bad mojo 

that should have accompanied the fact that I swiped it from Phantom

but is there such a thing as stealing from your teenage daughter???

I mean what's hers is mine I should think

and he probably felt unappreciated by Phantom anyway

after all she just had him sitting on a shelf

behind a model of a pregnancy pelvis and beside an model of an eyeball

don't ask!!!!! trust me we are all pleased the fascination with all things medical has passed

Sitting on my desk however,

being surrounded by colour  and being lightly splattered with paint 

seems to suit him

and while I haven't officially named him yet 

because I'm not sure what the protocol in these matters is

I am considering Trevor as a name

Which appeals mainly because then I can walk around the house

calling his name and asking if anyone has seen Trevor

because ...

he fell out of my pocket, has been stolen by the dog

or was last seen backstroking in my paint water container

I have tried out some other names over the last few days 

but Trevor is winning at the moment

I have no clue why I find the name Trevor so funny

and a Buddha named Trevor just strikes me as hilarious

mind you I could be swayed to another name if you have any suggestions...

this naming business isn't meant to be blasphemous,

 but he is, 

after all, a pocket buddha

and I can't imagine deities being too impressed with spending the day

being buffeted by my lip balm, spare change and the odd tissue

so being out in the air and immortalizing him in paint

and naming him

has to offset any offence he may be feeling at his lot in life...

So I am sharing all the good vibes, great karma, positive mojo

and peace that Trevor can bring to the world 

with my dearly missed bloggy friends

and my buds over at Sunday Sketches.

and a special birthday shout out from Trevor and I to Alex... 

our wonderful hostess with the mostess..

ahh it's great to be back xx
