Making a bird, a colourful though odd chickadee. #machineembroidery #chickadee #colourful #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections 2018 TAUGHT ME - That nothing is for sure except for death and taxes. Life is short and shadows are long. #decemberreflections2018 #2018taughtme #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections COMFORT & joy. #decemberreflections2018 #comfort #joy #sheba #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsBuilding an umbrella for my geisha. Not going well. I'm just winging it. Maybe it needs to sit and age like wine. #freemotionembroidery #umbrella #geisha #wingingit #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections BEST MEAL Of 2018 Sticky rice from my mother gifted to her from her friends. My mother always share her goodies with me. It's very good, filled with spiced meats, nuts and other goodies. It's very labour intensive to make. It's truly a gift of love all around. #decemberreflection2018 #bestmealof2018 #stickyrice #gift #love #taleswithfriendsHow can I not share my baguette when she sits and salivate in front of me? #sheba #beggingdog #salivate #sharing #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections BLUE. Reflecting on the calm and stillness of sky and snow. Be still. Let there be no thoughts. Resting my mind. #decemberreflections2018 #blue #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsWork in progress. A start of a geisha in free motion embroidery using coloured embroidery thread. Not so easy when I'm doing everything on my own. Another learning curve. I love this fabric. I can see how I can incorporate its pattern into my picture. Alas, I think this is my last piece. #freemotionembroidery #geisha #onmyown #wip #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections BIGGEST CHALLENGE in 2018 Staying in the light, putting one foot in front of the other and finding meaning in what is here and whatever I'm doing. God, it is hard! #decemberreflections2018 #biggestchallengein2018 #onefootinfrontoftheother #stayinginthelight #findingmeaning #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsI should've strutted a little louder. A little too subtle, but it's also me. #machineembroidery #peacock #toosubtle #taleswithfriends

DANCING WITH PROCRASTINATION AND IMPERFECTION
So it is another day. I think this must be the hardest part of winter. I am tired. I seem to say it a lot lately. That is because I am. It is a good thing I set some goals … Continue reading
RESTLESSNESS
I am restless on this 11th day into Lent. Maybe I should not have drank half a pot of coffee this afternoon. But that’s what shift workers do…coffee to keep us awake, coffee to perk us up. Then our hearts … Continue reading
SHIFTING THROUGH LENT
I’ve lost track of how many days we are into Lent. I haven’t read my daily messages from A Course in Miracles. I feel I have lost so much time shifting through my nights at work. I’m feeling as if … Continue reading
GOD’S GIFT
It is Saturday, the 4th day of Lent. Sheba is graceful enough to let me sleep in till 7:30. Hallelujah! I am tired and achy still. So what else is new? If not for Sheba, sometimes I don’t think … Continue reading
GUIDED BY THE LIGHT
In this third day of Lent, I truly feel as if I have been wandering and struggling in the desert. My body hurts from yesterday’s snow shoveling. Every muscle ache, every limb heavy and wooden. Even my mind is numb. … Continue reading
MY NEIGHBOUR’S KEEPER
Be the change you want to see. -Mahatma Gandhi I am once again struggling to be better than what I am. I am trying hard, to rise above myself, not to go where I have gone before….in judgement, righteousness, anger. … Continue reading

INTO THE DESERT
I celebrated Chinese New Year today. There was no fireworks or dragon dances. Well, not the traditional kinds anyways. But there was plenty of other kinds of fire and nuances. Mine is not what you would call a healthy workplace … Continue reading
