Live Life with Joy

 

Joy is a state of being, I suppose.

It can't really be found around me, or in others,

it seems to be more of feeling that is deeply rooted

within. A source that we tap into when we do the things

we love.

And suddenly there is joy and there is peace.

And it is always there, inside of us.

 

This is a painting I made whilst I was crocheting

at the same time, and instead of painting the main flower

I thought it would be nice to add a handmade crochet

flower. It is such a joy to be able to do three things I love, crocheting,

painting and lettering all at the same time.

 

Joy!

Hope Inspires

 

 

 

I have sat and stitched another illustrated fabric panel.

It calms me, the stitching and the words and the fabrics.

Like layers of feelings all coming together.

 

Hope is so inspirational.

It lets you know that life is like layers, that makes the full picture

that is you. All stitched together making a perfect blend of feelings.

 

Keep stitching and layering!

Remember

 

 

 

Sometimes we have to be reminded

that we are perfect just the way we are.

 

Don't forget that it is all the bits about you,

make you.

And that is exactly the way you are supposed to be.

Perfect little afternoon

 

I finally found my stack of black papers again.

A perfect little afternoon spent with acrylic ink and caramel swirl coffee ♥

 

Yes. I am easily pleased.

Once Upon a Midnight

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'
