The Leap Conclusion

-


Well folks this is the conclusion of the leap. Finally finished it and finally, finally got it in the frame, which was harder then embroidering it. I did the fiber art craft show last week and met lovely lovely artists and my friends Pat and Carrie were there too. I had a good time but no moolah so I'm gonna take it easy on the craft shows. I'm gonna do one that my friend Carrie is running and the Albany Shaker Museum which is my favorite all time craft location. Such a wonderful peaceful feeling when you in the meeting house.

Life has been just a wee bit topsy turvy. I'm still getting used to being the mom of a few days short 17 year old. It's mostly an objective observer at this age as they don't really need you unless they are hurt or they want something. He took his SAT's this morning and he is looking foward to his birthday. And I am waxing nostalgic about his life and what a difference my life is since I've had him.

Not much else to talk about. Just wanted to share the leap and catch up a little bit. See you real soon(I've been so bad at keeping up with everything lately). Keep stitchin. Deb

Sending good wishes your way. I like the piece. You have a nice style about your work that is simple and bold. You tell your story well without having to overly embellish. It is refreshing.

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...
