When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you....

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and
New Year's. A busy time of the year. I enjoyed my family being
together for the holidays, the baking, the eating and the celebrating!
Above is a picture of an owl I made for my daughter's Christmas
present. It is made out of hand dyed linen and items from my piles
of found objects. The wood came from a tree that was cut down
in my neighborhood. It is so much fun to make things from the
heart. Luckily I am at the point in my life where I can work for
pleasure. I spent thirty years of my life making things for others
and teaching. I truly enjoyed those years, but to work for the sheer
enjoyment is a wonderful gift.
My word for this year is quiet. So encompassing. Do you make goals or resolutions? I would love to hear about them!
Have a wonderful day. Sue
SO COOL! I love the feet.
ReplyDeleteNo resolutions this year since I failed miserably with last year's...lol.
Hugs :)

what a wonderful gift. absolutely love the lace you added and the wheels for feet. wishing you a most wonderful new year.
ReplyDeleteLove the owl!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a few resolutions-but I know I'll have to practice them a lot before they become habits. One is to just shut up! For a basically quiet person-I still talk too much!!! The other resolution is no sugar for a while. So far-doing well with that one!
Love it! Fantastic design!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous owl Susan! Wonderful gift! And I love the word you chose for this year. Hugs and happy day, Wen
ReplyDeleteYup....you got it! It makes a huge difference when we make is because of the pure joy it brings us to create ....Instead of what a "client" wants
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, Your owl is a beautiful gift. Really different :) I like the word you have chosen for this year.

HI Susan! I love your owl and I'm sure that your daughter loves it. My word is "learn", as in learn to do something better than I do it now. Or learn how to do something that I've never done before. We'll see! Sue
ReplyDeleteLove your owl, so sweet and wonderful.
