Across the Universe

Hi All!  Its been a long while.  I figured its time for me to express myself again and restart my blog again, hence the title of this blogpost.   My Etsy shop has been up and running for a year now and I've made 50 sales.  Quite an accomplishment for me as in my previous attempts I was not as successful.  I am still a waitress.  I passed another milestone birthday.  I'm still single although much more happily single than I was in the past.  I've been embroidering up a storm it's still the one constant in my life.

Speaking of embroidery since that is the point of this blog, the piece above is a custom order for my friend Clif.  Its a lavender garden made completely of French knots in lavender(of course), green and eventually blue.  It's a work in progress.  It's my second attempt as my first attempt wasn't really working that well,  sometimes life gets in the way of embroidery.  The world and my life have been a bit unsettled lately, the life of an empath.  My energy was terrible and I just wasn't feeling this the first time.  So I explained to Clif and started over.

That's another point of this blog.  Starting over.  Or more like picking up parts of my life that made me happy which I forgot while I was sleeping, or working, or embroidering.  More music, more dance, more embroidery and more love is what I'm looking for in this incarnation of my life. I've had to start over so many times but sometimes you just pass a milestone birthday and decide happiness and love are more important than just about anything else.

Now that we have passed the catchup phase of my blog.  I think I will depart for the day.  Soon I will be back with something pithy or some new work or maybe even possibly a bit of both.  Have a great day and keep stitching.  Deb
