Another layer. Evolving. I'm soothed by the paint strokes. #anotherlayer #acrylics #evolving #paintstrokes #taleswithfriendsThe secret to success is to look at the whole picture and not to be overwhelmed. It is made of little blocks put together one by one. It doesn't have to be done in one day. It can take years depending on its importance to you. #quilting #blocks #puttingittogether #onebyone #taleswithfriendsA tentative few strokes. Very soothing and therapeutic. I remind myself that this is my spirit expressing and not to go the reproduction route. #acrylics #myexpression #intuitive #therapeutic #taleswithfriendsGrounding a blank canvas and bringing out an unfinished quilt. New beginnings. #grounding #blankcanvas #unfinishedquilt #newbeginnings #taleswithfriendsI found some of Sheba's baby pictures. She's about 2 months old here. It's always about eating from day one. #sheba #babypictures #2monthsold #lovesfood #taleswithfriendsThis is a screenshot of koichi hozan's video on YouTube. The video and music are just beautiful. They stir my imagination and creative spirit. I think I will make a thread painting of this. I've been resting and making room in my head for new efforts. #inspiration #video #screenshot #koichihozan #taleswithfriendsA little blind contour of Dr. Kristin Neff while watching her video on self compassion. My own self compassion practice of doing little art. Done with pen on back of envelope. #blindcontour #littleart #selfcompassion #drkristinneff #taleswithfriendsNovember days are good for lunching with mom and her friends, slow stitching and Epsom salt baths. I might get this gent finished by end of 2019. A few stitches a day will get me there. No need to hurry. #novemberdays #jesus #crossstitch #slowstitching #slowliving #taleswithfriendsSheba's stitch story in the hay. Not at all perfect but I like working with a pattern square. I enjoy the challenge of making my stitches work with the colours and patterns already in the cloth. I did add some colours with Inktense blocks. I do love stitching trees and our native grass. I have to do more practice with the grasses to make them show and look natural #sheba #inthehay #freemotionembroidery #trees #nativegrass #taleswithfriendsFound another gem in the library on textile art. I love, love this book. It's giving me so many ideas. #books #textileart #casholmes #stitchstories #taleswithfriends

FEASTING
It’s the day after the fast. I had to do a little adjusting in the morning. I listened to my body. I did not go to my aerobics class. I knew that when I went to bed last night. My … Continue reading

LANGUISHING
It is Tuesday morning, a day off. Funny how I still think of days off when I’m retired. Those words have been a part of my vocabulary for so many years. You get two nurses together, the conversation mostly sounds … Continue reading

HOW I SPEND MY DAYS
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. – Annie Dillard I wish I could write such insights as Annie Dillard. But then I’m not a Pulitizer winning authour. She has written many books. I … Continue reading
