This week’s stitching also comes from urban threads. I love this sketch. I used satin stitch and back stitch on this one. The little word is bold. I also tried to attach this one to the back in a different way to see if I liked it better. I haven’t decided. What do you think? Do you like the little bit of gold showing or did you prefer the blanket stitch way? Stitching Circles is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here. This week’s all about David’s birthday and our date night. A wonderful week.
Loving this project. Savor Project is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
And this one is from Life Book week Five. The assignment this week was to do draw a cotton candy girl and some sweets. I decided that what I wanted to draw was a piece of Dr. Seuss cake and a reminder that the goal when eating is not to feel full but to feel nourished. This page has a lot of texture. I used heavy body paints and lay them down thickly. Even though the colors make me smile, I am not a huge fan of the page overall. It just doesn’t feel like me, not sure why. But alas, this is more about experimenting and having fun and I did both this week.

Here we are. Since March is all about being brave, it made sense to me that the first intention I wanted to set was to dare. This sounds like doing stuff, but it’s actually not. What I had in mind was to dare to listen to my inner whispers. Dare to listen to the universe’s voice. Dare to listen to the smaller, quieter sounds that might be coming from the crushed parts of my soul or even from the deepest desires. The lettering I used here comes from Calligraphy Alphabets Made Easy. I chose to do a bird sitting and then birds flying because I feel like the first step is to sit and listen to the sounds. Dare to allow myself to hear them. Dare to listen to them. Which I believe will give me the strength and push to then soar. Listen with Intent is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
This page is inspired by these lovely owls. This page uses some gelatos, some watercolor pencils, and some neocolor watersoluble crayons. prompt says: today i know it feels good when i… i just wrote down all the things that make me feel good like nathatniel’s baby smell and holding david’s hand, etc. Today I Know is a project for 2014.

This week’s page is for My Mind’s Eye. I couldn’t connect with the work for Life Book this week so I decided to do something different. I tend to be one of those people who always worries and assumes things will go less desirably than planned and this is a reminder I need in my life regularly: give up that there’s something wrong, life can be sweet if you let it. This page is pretty simple, just some hearts and a title with a lot of my favorite yellow paint. It’s warm and shimmery and makes me happy.

Here we are. Another month, another intent to Listen. I decided that March was the month to start being brave. Paying attention to the quiet voices. Trying new things. Taking leaps big and small. Listening without fear or worry. I think that sometimes when you’re living life, it gets easy to just do the next thing. Sometimes I don’t even think too hard about what I want and/or whether it’s the Right thing. I’m not saying I make bad choices, but more that I am not engaged when I take action. I do the next thing there is to do. I do what must be done (what I think must be done.) For me, being brave, is about listening to the voices that are not the loudest. Listening to other ways of doing something. Listening to the quieter voices. Listening to what my soul whispers. Listening to what my body craves. The voices I don’t make time for. The voices I am purposefully avoiding. Being brave is hard. Being brave requires intent. My plan is to dedicate march to practicing courage with my listening. Here’s the lettering I used and for my sketches I decided on some arrows. Now sure why. Maybe I was thinking about the Hunger Games when I drew this… Listen with Intent is a project for 2014.

I saw this pin last year and I’ve been holding on to it for a long time. This week, I decided I had to try it. So here’s my result. I used the Neocolor II water soluble crayons to color this page. prompt says: today I know that i love to talk with i just wrote about all the people I love to talk to in my life and how wonderful it feels. Today I Know is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
