but, the "home" inside me...my soul..I am getting to know the "new" me little by little...sometimes I freak myself out..sometimes I am overwhelmed..sometimes I am scared...sometimes I am brave...sometimes I smile....and cry tears of joy, like when my friends daughter gave my this wonderfil gift...hands (if you have read my blog) are a very important symbol in my life...I will cherish this little stone forever...
So, speaking of hands...this is what my hands have been doing lately...creating wrist cuffs...this one is on its way to its new home across the land....
and a posy pin to go with the cuff.....I dyed the laces and trims...
I created this one for my SIL ( who helped me more than she could ever possibly know)...As I created it, an idea was being born ....on the inside of the cuff I wrote.."Soul Sister"and I used an old earring and buttons that I received from our MIL...Larry's Mom
I felt like "Wonder Woman" when I put this cuff on...see the wee wings?..Pow..Zam..Zoom!!
So, this is what my hand, well, my wrist really!...wears now..I mentioned an idea was being born....
Its a "Memory Cuff".....I created this using a cuff from Larry's shirt....kinda looks like a crown in this picture!
I handdyed the laces and dedicated to him on the front
on the back I journaled some thoughts and put a secret message to Larry under his name
So, this is a piece of the new me that is emerging....I wonder what will be revealed to me next...hmmmmm
