Don't Talk Like That...

I write to find out what my heart thinks....
I am here to celebrate my life, to uncover my fears, to hold on to love, to grieve my losses, to laugh long and hard, and to learn how to live a full magnificent life with heart failure. I am honoring my creativity, and exploring all of my emotions out loud ...before anyone can say....."Don't talk like that!"

New Things from Old Things




I like trying new things; I like them even better when they work! Sewing is something I have always enjoyed. However, for every success, there seem to be quite a few failures. While emotionally, I am learning to embrace my failures, financially, failure is another issue. Sewing fabric, like art supplies, is not cheap and is getting harder to find. I am on a really tight budget…So, please do not tell anyone I swiped a tablecloth from the dining room for this art/sewing project.

I got my blue circles appliqued on, but it is missing something, so I am trying some markers out to see how the pigment holds up when washed.  The thin line seems to hold up after washing but the thick line is bleeding.  Here’s the fabulous surprise! The thick line bleeds out to a dk blue.  Still waiting for it to dry to see what happens before I mess up another table cloth!

Today I am grateful for: great friends, a safe place to live and and a great “supply” of fabric!

Oh yes this is better!
