Let's Go Mets!

-
I probably mentioned a while back that I am a huge baseball fan and a huge Mets fan. I grew up in New Jersey with Met's fan(dad) and a Yankee fan(mom) and straddled the fences and supported both. I'm probably dating myself but my favorite players were Thurman Munson(god rest his lovely athletic soul) and Rusty Staub(I had a thing for red haired men). So then I married my Met fan husband and the Yankees just got a wee bit too successful so now I'm a Met's fan.

Why am I talking Mets? Because I'm watching John Maine give up two hits in the first inning. I'm not worried though he's great. I'm very excited that baseball is BACK, today is the first day in my little town that feels like SPRING and well Obama has basically won the Democratic nomination(if Hillary doesn't steal it, sorry Hill fans).

I worked a little bit on the leap, just putting on finishing touches which are background I'm not sure I should have bothered with, boring as watching paint dry. Otherwise all is well in my little part of the world. Been getting together with friends, took a jewelry class(so that I can make jewelry I'll never wear) and even got a few libations in one night. Hope your lives are well. Keep stitching.

I loved Thurman Munson too! Wasn't he terrific?! I like the Mets, but not as much as when, oh God, I can't remember the catchers name from just a few years ago, played Oh to have my old mind back! My favorite player now is Manny Ramirez. We get the Yes channel so we always root against the Yankees. I used to like ARod but thought he should have gone to the Dodgers with Torre.........hey, next time we see each other we can talk baseball! I'll be at the co-op on Friday, it's my last month, I'm quitting over there.

My brother, in Roanoke VA, was so excited because he got to cater the Yankees airplane with food, when they went there to do their benefit for the VA Tech. shooting victims. He is a huge Yankee fan. He was so excited about making their meals and being in their private plane and hoping to meet them. Plus, he made a ton of money. They paid a fortune for the meals. Sadly, he didn't get to see them, but he was still very happy. He still can't stop talking about it.

More Ornaments

Just passing by. I have spent the day making more ornaments. I am really loving making ornaments this year. I give thanks to Kathy from the Katbird Shop who said that they are little pieces of portable art. It gave me something to strive for. I am enjoying the act of making the ornaments(except for the stuffing which I wish I had a couple of Santa's elves to do). I really enjoyed making Santa's fur on his jacket and his beard and making the french knot sheep so I got up close with the camera so you could see the details. French knots are my favorite, favorite stitch. Also a music recommendation. I am listening to Death Cab For Cutie's Plans which I took out of the library. Very haunting and thought provoking and the most wonderful music to stitch in a meditative way to. For those of you who are Twilight fans they sing the song Meet Me at The Equinox from the movie. I'm not a Twilight fan but I am a Death Cab For Cutie fan so that is where my interest lies. T...

Symbols and Circles ReDo

Hi All! I spent my Mother's Day joyfully revamping Symbols and Circles. Still not sure I like it but I like it better then it's previous incarnation, it gave me a couple of hours of blissfully joyful french knotting, it's a bit more interesting, and more reflective of my current work. So that is that and I will now have it at my future shows and maybe it will even make another appearance at Katbird. I am still working on my flame thrower hand and only have a few flamethrowing fingers left. It's on watercolored fabric and the colored fabric makes such a big difference and I enjoy painting on the fabric too. I had a wonderful Mother's Day, nice peaceful and embroidery filled. I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day too. There are a lot of great things on my links so please take a look if you have a chance. They are so inspiring to me I hope they do the same for you. Keep Stitching!

The Blessings Of Ovation

-
Today I am thankful for the blessings I have. For the family who love me. For the friends who love me. For my wondrous dog and all the pets I've loved and who have loved me. For the idea of art and creation and the ability of that medium that allows anyone to find peace. Even a tortured soul like me. And for the daily inspirations of life where no one would expect to find them. I was watching Ovation tv the other night and they are doing their Everything is Art week. I am so inspired watching artists and designers and understanding where they come from. More from their work process then the finished project. I seem to understand their art and their process better than I understand my own. Well as I was watching Ovation there is a beautiful girl who designs for Marquesa who says in the commercial celebrating Everything Is Art week that this week highlights people who take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. It immediately and every time I see the commercial reminds me of...
