a peaceful start to any day

a bright spot in an otherwise grey day – yah rain!

a sunny day in the making

differential lighting – the way of drama

my inner voice

Spring is the time where we move into open spaces filled with sun and whispers of summer to come. Usually.

So, for all of us to reduce this illness we need to stay put. And that can be non stimulating. Not much to do about that yet we can change how we feel about that.

My inner voice screams, and cries and morns all that has passed these last few weeks. Helpless and not. Not because I can lift my days away from my inner voices of doom by staying active. I am lucky as in isolation, i have a yard to photograph and the beach is yards away. And here in our small complex, we still have enough room to keep social distance and still be able to chat away.

I will try to share a photo or two each day. Stay safe and stay busy. You will know what to do once you quiet the inner voice a bit.

2015–the backside of another year– Time to look forward too

It was a good year overall.  Not enough sewing projects were completed but I still have not given up on them.  I guess it is to be expected having a full time job and an almost full time self employed business and family to help keep it all together.

There is the Mona Lisa – my red. So named  because I have been working on it for over a year.  It will look good and fit like a glove but as of yet I have no where to ware it.  So I will be patient. DSC07773

There is the almost finished kimono that I have started for my partner – mostly finished so perhaps this weekend.  Both the Kimono and the Mona Lisa red dress are currently residing on my dress mannequin dummy– (Daisy is the dummy’s name – just in case you ask.)  Daisy is residing in my office at the moment and doing an additional duty of holding the felted wool coat – just because it is very cold outside and it is a good fit.

The photographs are a nice distraction from the everyday pressures so they continue to pop out of my camera. I enjoy sharing them here on the blog – keeping it simple while I do.

I am looking forward to sharing a stellar 2016 here when I can.  Life sometimes just gets  busy!

 

Have great New Year Folks.
