Moving along

-


I've been moving along with my purse making. This purse is a green and blue knit. Moving along in my life too. Just a few days short of 50 and on vacation(I'm always on vacation but my hubby is off this week too). Turning 50 is quite a milestone. Finally getting used to it I think. My son starts college in three weeks and I've been crocheting up a storm. I'm reading Thomas Moore's book on Life Work again. I love this book. Read it before Dark Nights of the Soul so thought I needed a reread.

Hope all is well with all of my bloggy friends. My friend Valaine from Blue Owl Designs has a new blog Beneath the Clouds. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do. And Lee from Defining Me is back too. I may be a little scarce as we are doing a bunch of day trips but hopefully you will be as entertained with my friend's blogs and see you soon!

Love your knitted purse :) I tried knitting and didn't have enough patience to keep it up, crocheting goes a lot faster for me. So I have a lot of respect for those who can knit an entire project. Happy Birthday! Hope you have plenty of sunshine, hugs and kisses :)

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...

A Little Joy

Today was a joyful day. I started my next embroidery project on blue watercolored fabric(which I will share a photo of tomorrow), went car window shopping with the husband, started reading Eat, Pray, Love(thanks to Painter of Blue for if I had not seen the lecture of the author on her blog I would have never took the book out of the library), and while I was trying to organize my very messy studio I found a very unorganized clump of embroidery thread in the most beautiful spring colors. All the while I was listening to the beautiful new age relaxation cd Spring and Joy just overtook me. Joy is embroidered in green outline stitching, with pink, blue, lavender and orange lazy daisies and french knots. All of my favorite stitches. The back of the Joy pillow is this lovely light green fabric. It was a spur of the moment collection of Joy. I enjoyed making it a lot and I sat down with no intention of doing it. Kismet. I started the blue watercolored piece too but am only doing the ou...

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!
