Work in Progress–Stitching Joy

Stitched cuff – work in progress…

I am really loving this stitching stuff. It is like collage only with fabric as the paper and embroidery stitches as the pen marks.

This cuff came into being as David and I watched one of my favorite feel-good movies last night, “Love Actually”.

Another evening’s work/play and it will be ready for its lucky new owner!

Enjoy this beautiful Sunday, Lovely Ones !

Big Love actually.

Stitches in time...

This time in Charlotte with Elizabeth has been a magical joy in more ways than I could ever express.

Full to the rim with magical moments, friendship and mutual love, love, love. So good.

And of course, the creativity that flowed from all of that magic was quite inspired....

Thank you for the magic joy, my friend!

This could be paradise...

I am in Paradise.
That's in Charlotte, Vermont for me.
With Elizabeth, dyed wool, embroidery floss, delicious little bits and beads, the geese, the lake and time.
This day is my slice of Heaven.
Gratitude...gratitude...gratitude...

Bits of magic

My niece Jessica and I had a sweet time walking in the Domaine St. Bernard on Saturday. It was a crisp November day, perfect for getting rosy cheeks and perfect too, for Chickadee love!
Little bits of everyday magic. For these I am so very, very grateful.
Happy Monday, Beautiful Ones!

Share the Joy Thursday - Feeding the Soul

From this week’s joy list…

1. Snow on the bird feeder.

Okay, I am lying.

The snow does not bring me joy.

But the bird feeder does.

As does the knowledge that those cold little birdies will have some yummy seeds to eat when their whole world is frozen.

2. The morning after a bad headache when you open your eyes to no pain.

Heaven !!!

3. A bunch of bags with lots of fun goodies ready to go into the car for some Kimbo adventures with awesome peeps !!!

4. My sweet, sweet hubby who keeps the home fires burning bright while I head out for a bit. When I ask him if he minds that I go a lot, he replies “No ! Because you always come back.” Love him to bits.

5. Participating in the Chopra Center 21 Day Meditation Challenge. Today is day 4 and I can already feel changes in my being. I am loving the process so much !

6. This blog and my friends in Blogland. Knowing that there are dear hearts who hear me, see me, and acknowledge my own heart in this very special way with every post, fills me with joy and feelings of being connected. Good stuff !

I hope that the rest of your week is filled with simple and abundant joy, Beautiful Ones !

The Day after…

It would seem that elections give me headaches.

It must be all that line drawing, “I win, you lose” and battleground crap. I am so happy with the outcome, as I believe in Barack Obama. He is the only candidate that gives me any hope that we can ever get closer to living in that field that Rumi talks about.

I know it won’t happen in my life time, but there is always hope.

I have a horrible headache this morning and I have many things to accomplish today.

Tomorrow, I leave for a week long visit up north.

Number 1 is time with my niece Jessica, who is 21, and who really wanted to make a plan for some Aunt/Niece time when I saw her about a month ago. How could I refuse ??? So we are taking two days in a hotel in Mont Tremblant, to hang out and spend precious time together !!! We got a great deal on the hotel as it is kind of the dead season up there until the snow falls. I am so excited to be with that girl!

I will also see my mom, my two sisters and a friend or two, (there is never enough time to see everyone I would love to see !)

and then on Monday,

I head back down to VT to spend some time with e.b. !

It is bundle up time in VT in every sense of the word,

and I need to share some of that time with my amazing friend !

Off to pop some Advil and hope that this headache doesn’t slow me down too much.

Wishing you a happy Wednesday, Beautiful Ones !
