WOW i 1st shared this 8 years ago!! footnotes >>>> who sews?? along the path of life... we all wear clothes these days.... whether we make them or buy them new or used.... whether they are handmedowns or ups.... garments of one sort or another cover our bodies.... like the leaves that cover the trees & plants through the spring summer & autumn... until they undress & stand naked through the winter... where we gaze upon the beauty of their bones & structure.... we all clothe ourselves in some manner & fashion~ many of us, have a unique style in how we dress.... we allow our personalities to present themselves in our garb.... i sew, i like to sew! i love working with my hands. whether it is in the soil or with trees & plants or painting, writing or drawing, healing work as well.... sewing & needle crafts bring me a unique kinda joy.... i remember the first stitches i ever took.... big clumsy... a running stitch...in unbleached muslin.... i can still see them quite clearly!!!! :) i was given the needle thread & fabric... to keep me quite & occupied while the elders were busy visiting....i was 4 yrs old....& i was hooked! :) i had some amazing seamstresses in my life, there was my Gram, who was a major perfectionist, & made beautiful tailored garments! there was my Maggie, who lovingly tutored me, & could move the peddle of her treadle sewing machine so fast it made me spin! then there was my mom... who liked to collect fabric.... a home ec teacher who scared the crap out of me..... & then there was my own inquisitive nature that just allowed me to do it myOWN way much to the displeasure of Gram....;) in my youth i wanted to be a fashion designer.... even started in that direction in college... made myself monies in highschool patching & decorating other peoples blue jeans.... sewed my own clothes & that of my kids.... recently... i am revisiting this love of mine... lots of thoughts & ideas come as i stitch the seams together.... i love the feel & texture of the fabrics... love the bright array of colors!!! i find tremendous inspiration walking through a fabric store or a garden or the woods or a nursery....these places all inspire the artist within me the other day, totally enjoying designing on the fly a couple of things for my beautiful daughter... & i have a bevy of fabric picked out by little princess Natasha to make in to skirts & jumpers.... sewing... stitching together two or more things to create something entirely new~ so so sew... stitching together.... as i journey forward... always in love, hugs, earthdeva/molly © 2011

It is past Time for our society, to shift gears big time regarding what we as individuals, choose to nourish our bodies,minds & beings with!!!! When each of us takes that seriously. When we step up to the plate so to speak. We offer that same opportunity for those around us to change. Time to honor all that goes into how,what,where when we feed & nourish ourselves!" blessings, earthdeva For those of us who make our way via our art, our craft::::> all of us who make our way via our art, our craft, our creativity... & for all of us who do their best to be self sufficient may we make our way with joy ease & grace!! ... may we always be inspired may our intentions be bold & clear!! may we thrive!!! may we be prosperous in every way! may our creativity be abundant may our products be blessed to find the right home may all we require, find us in the moment.... may we know clarity may we know goodness & joy may we know Love!!! may we be blessed beyond our wildest imaginings in 2019.... & so it is & so it is!!! hugs earthdeva/molly i did a new photo shoot yesterday & this morning found out there is an area Art Show titled Dark & Light i will be entering... kinda love how i follow my nudges!!!

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel like there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living person you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too strong for fear, and to be happy to permit the presence of trouble.” ~~Christian D. Larson |
