I Can See Clearly Now

-


Today I was inspired by my mother to make hand embroidered eye glass cases again.  My mother had such thick lenses in her glasses that she could only wear black plastic frames.  I hold the memory of those glasses in my own eyes as I also cannot see without my glasses with the exception of when I am hand embroidering.  

The cases are priced at $20.00 and available for right now through my blog privately.  I do accept PayPal and will be putting them on Etsy in the near future.  Each case is hand illustrated and hand embroidered and are priced in a way as to not limit my creativity.  If you are interested in ordering one please send me an email at das813@hotmail.com with specifics. 

My mother was an inspiration to me as an artist.  She fostered creativity and interest in everything my brother and I were interested in.  She was an artist herself and that is one of my fondest memories of her.
 
My mom taught me the greatest lesson I have ever learned about life.  When we are humans walking this earth in this body we are working to find the light and love in our souls.  Our human bodies are mere mortals and they make mistakes and are not perfect, but when our soul is beautiful people can see your light even when it is invisible to you.  People can see the light in your eyes because our eyes are the window to our soul.  My mother had a beautiful soul and I know that she is with me and guiding me to my destiny.

Hug your mom today and have a great day.  I Can See Clearly Now is a song by Jimmy Cliff.  Enjoy it at this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzGV9Bl6CGg

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

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

Joy

A little joy 002 , a photo by DebraAnn813 on Flickr. I didn't want to end this year without expressing just how joyful this year was. Not the whole year but so much of it. At the end of this year I'm lucky to share my love of family, love of embroidery, love of music with masses. I've had such wonderful opportunities, such wonderful times with friends and family, such wonderful time hand embroidering and I've discovered how easy it is to be happy with a needle in my hand and headphones on my ears! I'm also crocheting a wee bit too. If this wasn't your joyful year, find what makes you joyful and start doing it NOW! Blessings and Happy New Year!
