A teeny bit disconnected ~

I don't really know why.

Or maybe I do...

Seems I can't get into my goodness zone ~

too much heaviness on my mind,

too much distraction,

too much everything.

I'm working a few needle books to sell as I've had some requests ~

and my mind is running rampant with more ideas but...

nothing's coming out.

Just feeling totally frustrated.

BUT....

The goodness I will share today??

I was so honored to give our sweet grandson Murray

his very first haircut this past Sunday evening!

Here he is, posing like a true gentleman after the fact...

our sweet, sweet boy ~ he's growing so fast!!!

Just look at that little expression...

a true heart stealer!!!

I hope you are doing so good...

feeling your muse and creating your heart out!

Wishing you a wonderful February Tuesday my precious friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn

It's a new day ~

We had a busy weekend!!

My parents came for a quick visit...

then it seems we blinked and the weekend was over ~

I didn't get to work on my living room curtains

but did buy some new rods to hang them on.

Now to get them finished and hung!

I need to create a new piece of artwork too...

all the sewing has been fun

but I've just got to make something else soon!

A few oldies but goodies:

Wishing you a beautiful Monday my sweet friends!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

My tricky muse ~

Thank you for being so kind to me on my last post ~

I wanted to experiment to see if I could make a short video

with my simple point and shoot camera and it worked!

Yes, it was very amateurish and I definitely need to place my

camera a little higher so my forearm isn't front and center but

for only one take, it was OK.

Did you notice the stacks of needle books I've been working on?

I have been AWFUL about finishing them!!!!

Just dragging the task out, day after day,

I should be knocked in the head.

Sometimes it seems I sabotage myself....

trying to create SO MANY of one item.

It always, always, always shuts me down!

What is wrong with me?

But I thought, I need to make six, why not make 24?

And when it all becomes like an assembly line it

just doesn't feel creative at all ~

Hopefully I'll finally finish this massive batch of needle books

today and have them listed in my Etsy OR maybe they'll just trickle in,

who knows...my muse is a tricky one and doesn't like to be pressured!!!!

Wishing you the most wonderful Friday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

I forgot to mention....

Here are a few images for you that I've posted in the past....

that's what you do when you don't have anything new!!!

OH and I forgot to show you something wonderful....

this is the view looking out my front door!!!

Our new home is 100 or so yards from the train tracks!!!!

Happy Wednesday sweet angels ~
hugs and love,

Dawn
