Mandala Magic Mandalas In DIY Art Home Decor And More



Mandala (Sanskrit: ?????, lit, circle) is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Indian religions, representing the universe. In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.

Cool Bicycle Art

Cool Bicycle Art




I spotted this sign along the bike path the other day.  The art is very well done. I like how the artist tied in the themes of country and city.

Well as far as bike to work goes for me and many other bike commuters every day is bike to work day.  So Ill just roll my eyes and keep my comments to myself.  But the bottom line is any advocacy to get people out of their cars and onto bikes even for a day is a good thing and I support it. 

Heres a great Time article that sums it up quite nicely.

Welcome to Open House Sundays where we get a personal invitation to tour through a different blogger's house every week!


This week's tour is courtesy of  my friend Carol from Art & Sand blog.   This home is so dear to my heart.  Every time I visit Carol's blog I fall more in love with her beautiful, colourful home.  It is a dreamy cottage by the sea.  This tour is the perfect antidote to the winter blues!  Enjoy!
