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

this day I am thankful for my wonderful family (by blood & thru friendship)~ ♥
this day I am ever thankful and grateful for love~ the breath of life~mother earth~ the green growies~& for all the kingdoms of creator,
for without them ,my life would not be~~~ ♥
today I am ever thankful for the melody in the breezes,
for the symphony in the winds for the heavenly chorus,
for the music of the spheres, I am grateful for sweetness &
purity in the songs my grandchildren sing to me,
the rhythms of the seasons, elements &
mother earth for the concert of my life & in my heart~~
this day I am ever so grateful for children,
for small new humans, for innocence,....
& the wisdom of their precious fresh newness and perspective on love,
life and the world & all that is in it~~~
today I am so very thankful for ~everything~
yup even the bad,
cause it assists me in appreciating the good even more so~~~
whatever happens in my life,
I choose to see it from all perspectives, to find good in it, this is always possible~
today I am so very grateful for the waters of my life~
our lives~ the rains & moisture which is much needed,
it's part of the season~ part of cleansing & release~ part of the ebb & flow~
part of the me that is all of us~ quenching the thirst of body mind &
spirit~~ ever grateful for ~water~
today i am grateful!
today i am thankful!
