Have Love Will Travel

-
The journey to find our soul begins with a single step.  My step begins with hand embroidery and ends with a way to find a living being true to myself and my god and living by the spiritual principles I believe in.  I believe God will find a way for me to become a productive, loving, peaceful individual which is who I was to begin with.

The journey starts today with a trip to see my beautiful loving Godmother Madeline who has loved me and stabilized me since I was a little girl and the beautiful brave warrior princess LuAnn who I idolized as a young girl and who I idolize even more today as a completely inspiring breast cancer survivor.  I know I will come full circle and return from the windy, peaceful Taconic and the traffic laden streets of New York City to find my own personal warrior princess with gifts of love from God and the universe.

Hand embroidery and computer with me as I chronicle my journey to recapture my soul.  I will write about the wonderful things I have found on my road trip and enjoy some really good pizza for it is this Mediterranean princess’s favorite meal. While I am feeding the soul and going back to my roots I will appreciate the time and effort needed to make a beautiful piece of hand embroidered art as well.  It is a gift from God to be given a vocation that adds so much beauty and reflection and reminds you of your soul and your God with every stitch.

I will add pictures of my work and my travels accordingly.  I will find a life where I can devote myself to finding love, inner peace and hand embroidery trust in God that he would not have given me these talents if he did not want me to use them.  I trust that God will help me find the path that will express love, peace and meditation the best while sharing the beauty and commonalities of all of us.

What I take with me is that you must not sacrifice yourself just to live a life that doesn’t define who you are and what you believe in.  We are only on this earth for a short time and we must find ourselves in the universe and remember the talents we are given and give them back to others. 
This is my last blog post for Tangled Stitch on Google.  I will be moving my blog to Wordpress and will combine the love of embroidery, the passion of politics and the mysteries of  life as I see them on my journey to the soul and finding a life that appreciates all that it has been given.
 
I appreciate all of the love and concern of everyone in my life who loved me enough to find a path for me but I think I have to find it on my own. Have Love Will Travel.

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!
