can only be defined
by going beyond them into
the impossible.

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling
of letting go and holding on.

One ought, every day at least, to hear
a little song, read a good poem, see a
fine picture, and if it were possible,
to speak a few reasonable words.

Goethe

You've been criticizing yourself  for years and it hasn't worked.

Try approving of yourself and see what happens.

Louise Hay

Quiet Reflection Sunday

We gain strength and courage and confidence by each experience
in which we really stop to look fear in the face.
We must do that which we think we cannot.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.

To often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the
smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential
to turn a life around.

My Artistic Side

I just love a bargain, so when a friend brought over these shoes and they were only $2.00, well how could I resist. I knew I would transform them, but with what?

So out came the baskets and suitcases full of lace. Who doesn't have a stash! After much searching
and getting side tracked, I found the perfect piece of lace. I sewed some pearls onto the lace and then
glued the lace to the shoe. I used Jewel-It, it is a great product. You just have to be careful not to put
the glue on to heavy because it will show.

Hope you all will try and re-make a pair of shoes. If you do let me know, I would love to see them.

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud,
was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.

The Dye Garden

This year my garden focus will be on plants to use in dyeing fabric, paper and yarn. I will achieve this goal using specific plants that when added to a dye bath add color. Along the way I will record from beginning to end my results on this blog. I am going to use seeds and plants to make the dye garden. 

As things stand right now I have used plants I've collected from the fields plus all the flowers my neighbors send over. I do not get fresh
bouquets but rather the dyeing bouquet. I love them all.

Hope you stay tuned, or perhaps try it at the same time!

The materials of wealth are in the earth,
the seas, and in their natural
and unaided productions.

Daniel Webster

Quiet Reflection Sunday

Keep your thoughts positive,
because your thoughts become your words.
Keep you words positive,
because your words become your behavior.
Keep you behavior positive,
because your behavior becomes your habits.
Keep your habits positive,
because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive,
because your values become your destiny.


Gandhi

Sometimes your only available transportation

I go to nature to be soothed and healed,
and to have my senses put in order.

tomorrow."

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners who make our
soul blossom.

If my ship sails from sight,
it doesn't mean my journey ends,
it simple means the river bends.

Another fresh new year is here...
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
