I want to share this with you right quick – I just ordered one of these magnificent rugs for myself!!! I rarely get to keep my own pieces, so I’m excited! The top image shows a rug made for a bathroom. No tassels, but non-skid bottom, and soft and cushy to walk on! Above is […]

GENEROSITY
Over the past few weeks, I have found myself glued to my screen, watching tiktok and FB reels. I come into my studio with a long list of things to do – and every single one of those items promptly slides right on out of my head. Instead of Doing what I Oughta Do, I […]
YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE
You do! I value YOU, and every one of the people who show up, view, appreciate and buy my work, make comments, send support dollars – it means the world to me! I wish you a very happy after-Christmas/holiday-in-between week, and an amazing, incredible, productive, take-care-of-you, fun, loving new year! You’re just the best! Stay […]
THE END of the DARK FORCES
I had a dream tonight that woke me up and made me come running here into my studio to sit down and write it out. In my dream, all of my light-filled friends and allies in the entire world got together and sent wave after wave of pure love to all the people in thrall […]
WHALES EVERYWHERE
An enormous spout of splashy water came fountaining up – and up – and up – Every once in a while, the amount I miss the beach almost clobbers me down onto my knees. I miss the sounds, the waves, walking in the sand, the sun, the smell of the ocean, the fishies, the fresh […]
I Wonder Why You Clap but Not Comment on ...
I’m almost done with Medium. I’m disgusted. The other day, I posted that it was my birthday. That post got 18 claps. Really? You supposedly read my post, clapped, but didn’t even have the courtesy to wish me a happy birthday? You couldn’t even do the 50 claps Medium suggests? Another post that surprised me […]
SILLY TIGER LAUGHS ALL DAY
Today it’s my birthday – I can hardly believe I have lived this long. I frankly never thought I’d make it past 26. (We won’t talk about Ms Wild Child in the past, now, will we!?!) I posted on my FB feed it was my birthday, and so many people commented that I’m blown away […]
I Had to Block An Attack on My Websites T...
I have been targeted lately by some chin*se assholes who keep asking me if I have registered some of my websites in ch*na, and that they want to do so, themselves. Even going as far as wanting to register angelatreatlyon.com. I’m thinking, wtf are they going to do with a website with MY name on […]
BLACK STALLION LOVES BUNNY
I guess I’m just the typical 79-year-old teenager who never got over loving and fantasizing about having horses. . My parents had a boat we got to sail all summer – they said that was enough! No horses! I said, ‘But, but, we have a barn! And I’ll keep the tack in good shape, and […]
POSSIBILITIES
There is so much threatening our freedom right now! So – what to DO??? Happy Thanksgiving Day to all who celebrate, and to all who do not! I choose this image named Possibilities for today because times are scary right now, and instead of decrying all day what’s wrong, what’s wrong, and whining and crying […]
THEY SAID I WAS LYING
I got all the way to my mid-teens before it suddenly came home to me one day that other people didn’t just suddenly get complete downloads of ideas the way I did. People asked me, “Where do you get your ideas?” They thought I was lying when I told them. It was then that I […]
I Refuse to Let Life Crush Me
People are reeling at the chaos created by recent events! We have to manage our minds better! Being with people recently, whether live or on social media, feels like being in an emotional washing machine, tossed around like a piece of old worn out lint. I refuse to be smashed! I shall remain calm. I […]
LOOKING BACK JUST MAKES YOU YEARN, ACHING...
Listening to Shanna spout crap like that made my belly churn. What the heck was she thinking??? But suddenly, she went into this kind of glassy-eyed trance . . . Shanna came back over today to tell me she was so grateful to me for stopping her panic attack yesterday. And, all excited, told me […]
LET ME HOLD YOU UNTIL YOU FEEL BETTER
If only I had the means to comfort everyone! Wouldn’t it be nice if you had someone whose arms you could just fall into, snuggle up against them and revel in the comfort of their Being? No need for crying, no complaining, no woes - just a nice, warm hey-I-love-you-let’s-hug kinda thing.
Ferny Fern Fern, I Love You
I used to go out into my yard in Hawaii, sit in my favorite chair, and hold hands with my ferns. They loved it (they told me so!) and I loved it. I miss that. Where I live now, I go outside and there’s no place to even put a chair, or sit with the […]
WHERE DID MY ENERGY GO???
I’m used to being one of those annoying full-of-juice, c’mon-let’s-go people who get everyone else motivated and moving and having way too much fun as we make waves in the world with our artful creations. So now it surprises the shit out of me when sometimes I feel like I’ve been rolled over by a […]
MY MACHO NACHOS (& CHIPS)
Some of us, who are perfect in every other possible way (ahem!), have a terrible, dark secret. That secret, if known, would probably make everyone on the planet shun, condemn, and make fun of us! We might even be deleted from existence if it was known!
SELFIE BEAR
Having a basically shy nature, it’s beyond me how people are so obsessed with making selfies. I just don’t get it. Why would anyone want to plaster themselves all over a world-wide platform? Can you tell me? I’m thinking in particular about one video posted by a gal who filmed herself all gussied up, slamming […]
I MISS MY DOG
Back in the 90s, I lived in two of the bays of an old abandoned fire house, where the town fire trucks had been kept. There was a big parking lot out front. At the beginnings of our daily walks out into the desert, my dog IO (pron. Ee-oh) would come out into the lot […]
PLANT ENERGY
I’ve studied healing plants for years, and have always wanted to honor them somehow – the ones I have used always did such wonders for me and my family. So I’m working on creating a series of designs featuring plants used for healing. Each one of them has specific properties that help with various different […]
DON’T GO CRAZY – JUST DRAW!
There are some days when things in life seem so shitty that I can’t get my mind bent around a single thing – except drawing. Drawing is my life-saver. Today was one of those days. I’ve been completely occupied with the travesty happening in North Carolina - I got totally sucked in. I try to not do […]
I Was Surprised by My Own Artwork
I’m so used to creating bold designs using bright colors that I forget the there are people who prefer more quiet beauty. I was doing the primary design of this piece, all full of really bright colors and bold strokes. The app I use to draw on only has a few basic colors, so I’m […]
BIRDIES LOVE CHERRIES
Every year, hundreds of birds would swoop down and eat all the cherries on our trees, whether they were ripe or not. We finally trimmed the branches of the trees so it would be shorter, and much easier to put birdie-proof nets over them the next year. Success! We got full crops from then on, […]
THE BUNNY & THE TORTOISE Give Up the Race
There are days I’m so full of ideas and images they feel like popcorn popping and bursting and trying to get out of my noggin. Today was one of those days. Usually, before I open my eyes to fully wake up, I spend a bit of time appreciating what I’m most grateful for, and then […]
GARDEN FEAST
My ma had the most awesome organic garden. She had every veggie known to man and some we had no clue what they were. Despite it being the source of so much deliciousness, we kids hated that garden, because we had to go out and weed it every weekend. It was only when I finally […]
KITTY PLAYTIME
Maybe you’ve never noticed how sometimes your kitty can be just downright silly. (Silly? Kitties? Never!) Whoddathunkit, playing with the mice he’s supposed to catch! Only this time, it’s Leo the Leopard – he just can’t resist all those meeces! -=-=-=-=-=- Leo’s Playtime © Angela Treat Lyon 2024
NASTURTIUMS: MY SAVIORS
The Park Fire here in northern California tried to snake its fiery fingers right into my world, coming within three miles of my house. It freaked the living daylights out of me, relentlessly debilitating me for a whole month. The fire is still raging, many miles to the north, over 450,000 scares burnt, lives cut […]
I HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU, JENNY S.!
As I drove down an obscure, insanely rough, red-dirt road in Baja, I came around a corner, there on my right suddenly reared up an enormous storm-grey rock, as big as a two-story house. What is that doing there?!? I slammed on the brakes. I had to check this out. As I looked closer, I […]
FISHY LOBSTER FEAST
Today we had 101 degree heat. I melt at such high temps. My mind disappears into the deepest crack in the sea, and try as I might to sit up and work, my body refuses to function. Just about all I can do is turn on the AC and get horizontal until the house has […]
MICE JUMPING and PLAYING IN THE RAIN JUST...
When I was a kid, I loved running out in the spring rain, jumping in puddles and splashing until I was soaking wet drenched, head to foot. Now, of course, I’m staid and demure, like a proper old lady should be. Hahahahahahahaha! Go on – believe that if ya want!!!! I just posted this purple […]
