More twisting and turning

Hi All! This is my newest scarf, I'm calling it a brown lariat at the moment. I worked on this scarf during the Albany Shaker Museum craft show. I didn't do very well yesterday either but I love to make what I make and do what I do so I'll keep at it and maybe try it out at Katbird Shop and Artcetera. And I am in the Albany Shaker Christmas craft show which is the greastest experience ever. I also volunteer there during Christmas and it really puts you in the Christmas spirit. It also allows me to visit the Albany Shaker Meeting house which has such a spiritual feeling to it. It's across from Albany Airport and it runs from the end of October thru the week before Christmas. More certain dates when it gets closer to the show.

I am working on renewing my health and getting back to an exercise program. I've been on the meditarrenean diet which I love for a little less then a month. I think I've lost a bit of weight but I'm not really concerning myself with that at the moment, I'm trying to regain the strength and energy that seemed to be lacking as of late. It appears to be working even through my midlife crisis. My pants are a little looser and I'm able to sit comfortably with my legs tucked under myself(a small victory but a victory just the same).

My son is embracing college and I think he enjoys it a bit more(although he says he doesn't). So many changes in such a short period of time. But I'm working to embrace my changes and hopefully he is working to embrace his. I'll be back soon with more scarves and bags to share(maybe even a hand embroidered piece). Blessings to all.

I think your scarf is wonderful with rich Fall colors. Embracing change is a good sign of growth although not an easy transition. I think Fall is helpful in that it encourages a change or shift in thinking as we embrace a new season and time.

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!
