No Pictures and a Driveby

-
Blogging that is. Today was a good day. I have sciatica(not so good) but because I was only comfortable in one position I got a lot of embroidering done today. Made my life happy. It has been a little bit too drive by with the working. Still pondering doors opening and closing. Realized I have not been working enough nor blogging enough but if embroidering can make a sciatica pain a little less who knows what it can do for my heart. Just checking in. Hope you are all well. Think I'll go blog visiting. PS if you have any suggestions for sciatica that don't include going to the doctor let me know.

I'll do some research on sciatica, I actually don't even know what it is. Another thing that makes me sigh and say "Life is hard" (not Life is good!)Wishing you a zillion blessings and hope to see you soon. I read that you were going to cut back on your craft shows, good luck in whatever you do.

Hello. I'm sorry you are suffering with your sciatic nerve...I too suffer with it! It's horrible and you are right, some days all you can do it sit in one position. I have the hardest time at night, it horrible. I wish I knew of something to relieve it..unfortunately, I'm still looking myself.

Your embroidery is lovely.

Blessings,
Doreen

Sciatia is the worse pain! It ruined my entire summer, many years ago. My Physical Therapist use to have me lay flat on my stomach and with my arms, slowly walk up (sort of like an arch) the idea was to get the disc back in place. I had to do this a lot. It did help. Not sure if I explained it well, but it was the one thing that did help.

In the begining I had to take percocet, it was that bad. I couldn't walk. But that would involve a doctor, as you know.

I hope your feel better. I am glad your getting your mind off it with your embroidery. Can't wait to see pictures.

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...
