Feeling Light

I just wanted to share the thoughts of light and love that are in my mind and heart right now.

We can take a moment and feel good about something, really anything that comes to mind. I was tagging some yarn that arrived today and enjoying the colors and softness of the fibers in my hands. Arranging the colors and rearranging them in differnt ways, and touching the hank of yarn to my cheek and sniffing it, and petting it made me smile and feel glad.

I am grateful to have to opportunity to be surrounded by color and beautiful things.

Across the street is a community garden and there are flowers growing, and across the room is a wonderful loving being whom I share my life with.

I have so much to be grateful for. I need only look and I find something else to thank God for.

I am inspired to make things that make me smile and make others smile. I want to inspire others around me. I am grateful when someone tells me I have done so.

Thank you.

paintings...




I have been painting acrylic on canvas and having a great time. So far I have created one Heart painting which has been purchased, and two more Heart Celtic Knots which are available.

I am painting more and will continue to do so as the inspiration strikes. It has been great fun and I look forward to what will come next.
Celtic knots are something I have been playing with for some time, designing and creating them on paper, and I have been planning to construct them with fiber and felting as well....the possibilities are endless. I will also paint more in various colors and play with the combinations and variations of the knots I have designed as well as designing more.

Inspiration, Entrelac and Reinventing Ourselves.

I just got a package in. The joy of ripping open the overstuffed plastic and investigating the fibery goodness contained within is hard to contain. I wish the DHL man safe travels and begin exploring.

I like what I see. The rayon has sparkly bits intertwined and the cotton is smooth and shiny and the carry-along yarns are just perfect to add a hint of color and shine to some soft mohair....it is all perfect. These were ordered sight unseen (or at least untouched; via the web), except for the reorders....anyway, its all good and I am delighted.





The entrelac portion of our post is brought to you by the Tuesday night knittig group. We are entrelacing along.
The basic instructions are coming along but we are working this a piece at a time; part of the joy of entrelac; bite-sized pieces, you know.

Ok, to download the pdf file, please visit Nangellini
and go to the goodies section, where the patterns live.

Today is beautiful and can become exactly what you desire. Stay open to inspiration, where it may hail from, allow it to light on your shoulder, back of your hand, cerebral cortex. Notice when it does. I love you.
