Symbols of Love

So, I was taking pictures of the pergola that my Lar designed and built and on the first picture I was amazed to see... the orbs.....this is the only picture they appeared on. I feel the Love.

Redefining Who I Am.....

So many changes in my life these past few months...adjustments...not only in my physical home... 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

Zentangle Promise

Have you heard of Zentangle???........I think its been around for awhile, but, I have not been "tuned in" ....well, I am slowly coming back to creating...and discovered the world of Zentangle! It is like taking doodling to another level....and it is very "Zen-like" as I felt like I went into a meditative state as I created it...I think this will be on the cover of my journal. Another "new" art form for me...I have journaled in bits and pieces, but, never as an art form.... This is my very first one.....I created it with My Lar in mind... and heart...

"Forever Together........I Promise"

A New Beginning

One.Two.Three.Four.Five.Six.Seven.Eight.....
Seconds
MinutesHours
Days
Weeks
Months
Years......
Standing still, traveling fast...
Always with us...
Remember me when I am gone away,Gone far away into the silent land;When you can no more hold me by the hand,Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.Remember me when no more day by dayYou tell me of our future that you plann'd:Only remember me; you understandIt will be late to counsel then or pray.Yet if you should forget me for a whileAnd afterwards remember, do not grieve:For if the darkness and corruption leaveA vestige of the thoughts that once I had,Better by far you should forget and smileThan that you should remember and be sad. Christina Rossetti

It has been one month. Our love still "Rocks"!

Looky whats New in my shoppes!

My dear Larry and I have been discussing wether or not we will be able to continue to do retail shows or not...as some of you know, he is very ill now. He has always helped me with the 8 hour booth set ups and and take downs..plus he has been dubbed "The Light King" for the fabulous job he does on booth lighting...so, while we pray for him to be completely healed, I thought I would list some goodies...these are currently in my shoppe and I have also listed some more creations on my Etsy as well. Please take a peek when you get a chance. Below is a picture of Mama SweetFeet..she can be found in the "Fripperies" Shoppe. (plus a few other designs in my Etsy) You can click on the pictures for an even closer look! This is wee "Dawn"..she is waiting to fly to her new home in the "Faeries" shoppe...I also have a few faeries in my Etsy..

This is one of my "Prayer Flags" and can be found in the Fripperies Shoppe..I have other ones in my Etsy!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their good thoughts, prayers and support. It is very much appreciated!
