OK-That was Then.......

OK-that was then.........NOW WHAT?

Yesterday was totally frustrating as I tried to re-establish connections to old art sites. Trying to upload work and getting no where. Wait a minute........that's one of the things I left behind when we traveled to this location. Try, try, try.............trying to hard. Finally I had to shut this off and tell myself........All will be done in His time.

I turned this computer off and took my kitchen compost out to the garden. That is where I love to be....outside no matter what the weather is. I dug my hands into the compost and sprinkled it onto the soil, grabbed my pitchfork and gave a good mixing. Looked up to the heavens and said "OK Lord, let it rain" and so He did. A whole day of it. Ummmmmmmmm Good!

Since coming here to Metter a year ago, it has been very peaceful and quiet. Leaving everything behind to start over. Including most of my finished art pieces. Gaining a fresh perspective, allowing Spirit to speak. Technologies are good when they are applied constructively. I know where I was in the past, I know where I am NOW, and I know where I do not wish to return.

I think posting the artwork is not so much to say "Wow! Look what I can do." but rather to say "What one can do so can another". If the desire is within your heart. We are all Creative. Just as we are all Love. There are a million and one ways to create and be artistic as there are a million and one ways to Love. Painting is simply an outward expression of emotion.

So........What Now? I don't know. I think I best go into Prayer and get enlightened by Him. Later............

The Flora Project

Flora the Book Promotion  Good morning everyone and Happy Spring! I've recently accepted a commission to create a doll to  represent the character of the book "Flora". I've been tasked with making 25 dolls to go with the book. Flora doll While making these dolls I thought I would share with you some design tips in crochet with what I've learned while making these dolls. Unfortunately I can't share the pattern itself but I can share some do's and don't(s) which may make your design projects go a bit more smoothly. For instance: Tip #1 (which I may have come to learn a bit late in the game) for a smoother finish look around the edges of sleeves and dresses use a slip stitch around the final row of the piece. The sleeve on the right is the sleeve with the slip stitch. The one on the left is not and it leaves a definite mark at the end of the row.  Let me know your thoughts about it or if you have any other suggestions to benefit all you lovely crochet-ers...
