Ender’s Shadow was also for book club. (Alas, I have three different book clubs so I do a lot of book club reading.) This is another one of those novels I had meant to read for years and years and years but never did.
So this book club was a perfect excuse to finally sit and read it.
I thought it would be long and hard to read. And it was not at all. I read through the whole thing in a weekend. It was fun and interesting and quite enjoyable.
If you’re like me and this has been on your list for a while, I recommend you pick it up.
This week is about Nathaniel’s birthday – part1!
so happy.
Savor Project is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
This week’s stitching also comes from urban threads. This little bird was calling to me. I used stem stitch and back stitch on this one. The little word is patience.
Stitching Circles is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
Life Book week twelve was taught by Traci Bautista. I love Traci’s style but it’s nothing like mine. This was another one I had to sit on for a few days. When I finally sat down to create, I decided to just have fun with it.
I have mixed feelings about the final results. Another page I would have never really done on my own. But I like it too. It’s different. Vibrant. alive.
The text says: You are not your thoughts.
Something both David and I need to remember more often.

For this week, I picked opposite. Sometimes, when thinking about a situation or when faced with something I’ve dealt with many times before, what helps is thinking in a completely opposite way to what my instincts or my past behavior might suggest. I like the idea of doing something completely different and seeing what happens. That’s my intent this week.
The lettering I used here comes from this pin.
The image here is supposed to be two arrows pointing opposite ways.

Nathaniel Reads to Mommy is a project for 2014 that I am doing with my 4.5-year-old son. You can read more about it here.
This week’s inspiration comes from Lisa Congdon’s line drawing class again. She had a week on line drawing on photographs so I wanted to give it a try. I picked one of my old photos and added line work to the background. I then painted the background with acrylic paints. I like the darkish look. Even though you can’t see the text, it’s clear if you look in person.
prompt says: today i know that my life matters
I wrote about how much i care about my future, my kids, and life.
Today I Know is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
This week’s stitching also comes from urban threads. I love this little tree. I used stem stitch and back stitch on this one. The little word is enchant.

The Age of Innocence was also for book club. (Alas, I have three different book clubs so I do a lot of book club reading.) This is another one of those novels I had meant to read for years and years and years but never did.
So this book club was a perfect excuse to finally sit and read it.

This week is all about Yosemite!!
so happy.

Life Book week fifteen was taught by Tam. It was all about quirky animals but I chose to do birds since they are my 2014 animals.
This page uses acrylic markers and paints.
The text on the page says: You are not alone, choose to belong.
I specifically put the one bird alone there to go in line with the text. We’re all quirky in our own ways so he’s no more/less quirky than the others, just differently.

For this week, I picked what else. As in what else is there here? What else could I be listening for? What else could they be saying? What else am i missing? What else am i assuming? What else could this person be trying to communicate? What else could be going on? What else, what more, what different is here? The goal this week is to go deeper. Look for more, different, look beyond.
The lettering I used here comes from this pin.
The image here is supposed to be mountains to imply looking beyond something. Looking for other things on the horizon.
