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

MY MOTHER, MYSELF
Another day bites the dust. I am sitting here in early evening. I’m trying for some profound thoughts but there are none. Some days are like that. If I’m not careful, I might fall asleep at the keyboard. Daylight is … Continue reading
IN SILENCE AND STILLNESS
How was your day? Mine’s just fine. It’s sunny and hot – 30 degrees Celsius. By now I’m acclimatized. It feels quite comfortable. The skies are clear, almost blue. No smell of smoke in the air though the fires continue … Continue reading
