love a good story...

My story is long and complicated to the outside world. To me, my part was perfectly written...

Psalm 107:2-3, "Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south." (NIV)

denying God is not an option...

Sometimes, I need help.

Today is that day.

Psalm 27:8, "My heart says of you, 'Seek his face!' Your face, Lord, I will seek." (NIV)

He gave me everything and asks for so little in return. How easily I am strayed and how easily I forget...

Here are some of the Owlys I made for Gifts...

these are before they get stuffed full and stitched up. My Etsy shop is empty of Owls, so I will take a break for a couple of days and then I must keep going. I am fighting the urge to fire up the machine right now.

I promised the kids we would go to see Tangled today and maybe go to the museum...

sometimes, I just wanna sew!

I have been listening to Broken Social Scene and Future Trends a lot. Also, Dead Man's Bones. I can't seem to shake that one loose.

What I have been searching for is a fine Otis Redding LP...

I love you! Talk later!

where love grows

This is my work desk. As you can see, I have two habits I haven't been able to shake- they get me through some arduous projects. Diet Coke and Smokes.

I have inspiration galore and I love to sit at this art table and create. It's where it all starts, where ideas become actions! I am sitting here right now as I type this. Hannah is laying on the bed watching the Heffalump movie. My sewing machine rests behind me with a well deserved break.

The Holidays are always busy, but when I start each day at this table with prayer and meditation, nothing seems too hectic or to unforgiving. When Jesus died for me, he took all that with him. All I have to do is thank him and praise him! I can do that by using the gifts he gave me and being kind and giving to the world. I hope I am doing a good job!

This is Owly SpaceStar!

I made her out of scrap fabric. I suspect she likes David Bowie the most. Born 12-14-10.

Don't you want to ask her how she got the Stars in her eyes?

Owl City

I haven't posted in a bit cos i have been working on projects...so many projects!

These are my Owls from Owl City.

I recently opened an Etsy shop and these Owls are all for sale there. I am also making these for Christmas gifts!

I have made soooo many....they are made from repurposed and new materials. I love each one, so it's hard to put them up, but I also don't want to work at my job a whole heck of a lot, so I am working on extra income for the kid activities and what not. Also, I want some music equipment and the cashola for it is hard to come by. :)

I am gonna post some more creations when I get the pictures ready...light is so important!

i love mermaids!

We are the resident band at MOTR next month...that's pretty fantastic, dontcha think!
