Come On Inside Joyful Paws/Pause Cottage Studio to See What’s New…

Posted by Barbara Techel

It’s been many years now since my studio was featured on a local news station. Back then it was #shesheds that were all the rage and why a reporter had reached out to me for an interview and a tour.

The funny thing is my studio had been built long before it became a trend. So I guess I was ahead of the curve – though I didn’t know it! LOL

Since the construction of my studio back in 2009, I’ve evolved, as well as, my special space has morphed into supporting more dreams of mine which now all take place under this 10 x 12 roof.

It’s here I still write, though these days that is mostly blog posts and my newsletter. But it’s where I now also create Animal Oracle mixed media art, and facilitate Intuitive Oracle Readings for people and for people and their pets via Zoom.

So after I was sweetly nudged by another artist to share a video of my space, I created this updated video…

And you are cordially invited to come on inside! I hope you will enjoy! And when you are done, you can also check out the studio of the artist who nudged me to do a video…see below…

Here is a tour of Jules Chabeaux – wildlife artist – art studio…

A Little Peek Around Joyful Pause Cottage (video)

Posted by Barbara Techel

From the raised bed gardens to the corner herb garden on my deck everything is planted making it feel so alive around Joyful Pause Cottage, our home, and our property. It feels so magical!

I’ve even begun picking a few of the blossoms and have them drying in my flower press for future art projects to add to my Esty shop! I hope you enjoy the little (video) peek around my little corner of the world!

A Dancing Fairy (and Grasshopper!) Inside Joyful Pause Cottage. Come See the Video.

Posted by Barbara Techel

It has been one of the most magical June’s I can remember in a long time. Though I know it’s just the beginning of the month. But I’m feeling like the difficulties of 2020 are beginning to show the gifts of why we had to go through what we did.

For me, I’m deeply appreciating things even more than I did before. The simple things. Like growing a vegetable garden this year, paying even more attention to the flower and shrub gardens around my Joyful Pause Cottage and home, quiet weekend mornings sipping coffee out front with John, and catching moments like this when a fairy and grasshopper dance in the sparkling light coming through the shade on my window…

Wishing you a most magical week.
