Journal Week #41

The challenge this week was to paint with Q-tips.  Fun!  My butterfly turned out a bit wonky but I love this page.  The quote I used says 'Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and lovely heart.'  Buddha

    This creation gives me JOY!

    Wasn't Buddha known for not having anything, haven given all his wealth and worldly possessions up to live on 'nothing'? Didn't he sit and see the river flow by, and under a tree, and ate only one grain of rice a day...? I think it is easy to find joy in not owning anything if you HAVE HAD a lot and got fed up with it and voluntarily given it up. For those who have very little to start with, longing for possessions and wealth is understandable. Why should there not be joy in dreaming about winning the lottery or owning a flashy car/ comfortable house/ diamond ring/ filtered water/ comfortable shoes or whatever you value more than anything? Then again there is no guarantee that once you have that car or ring you will find joy. On the other hand having worked hard at getting it, you might really value it and dance with joy.
    Thank you for letting me take a walk along 'Philosopher's lane' again!

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

I have these napkins, threads and fibres to give away.  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  I will draw a winner on February 1.  I would love it if you became a follower too but that is not a requirement.   http://vicki-2bagsfull.blogspot.ca     This is the link to Vicki's blog to find more participating blogs! Thanks for visiting! The 16th comment won!  That is Denise Bryant.  Please contact me with your address!
