Ink stains

                                

                      

                    

                      ( my "studio" in shambles so creating on the couch)

If you were to visit my home today you would find.

Chaos.

In the middle of renovations/ repairs from the recent flood.

The remains of my tenth year old sons room are in the living room,

And homeschool room.

Drywall dust.

Paint swatches litter the desktop

Searching for just the right color.

The sewing machine piled high with brightly colored fabrics

A path through the piles

Piles of art studio misc 

So that sewing can be done.

You would find all the contents of the laundry room in the living area,

Because the washer is not working,

Since the washer and dryer stack and are in a small space,

Chaos

The ink and calligraphy nibs with knitting projects and a quilt in progress

All piled high within reach.

Call me Someone with ADHD

I call myself an artist

Trying to survive the mayhem 

Floods and little ones seizures returning within days of one another

They may try to break me

But I know what lies within

I was born to create,

I was made to " see" with the eyes of my heart.

        ( quilt is done and someone is grouchy about getting out of bed!)

                             

               

                                                Seeing beauty in the mess. 

                                 I guess the hydrangeas loved all the rain and water.........

Yarn along

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs.  I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~

Joining the ladies over at Yarn along again,

Still knitting the MIL cardigan.

I've measured and have reached the 13" the pattern calls for-

One more inch to go

I thought the pattern was a little short for her tastes. 

What I am reading,

A yellow paged paperback

"Joni" by Joni Earkeson Tada

Go take a peek over at Joni and friends if you are interested,

A great organization helping those with disabilities and their family.

They've developed resources for Churches as well.

I subscribe to her daily devotional and enjoy it.

Lil Gs weighted blanket is complete!

Last night was the maiden voyage.

When she saw it in her bed she squealed with delight

" Ooooh! me! " 

Followed by a happy dance.

And ASL signing "blanket" 

Getting her out of bed this morning was nearly impossible.

You can see she got out of bed to get her puppy

Is snuggled back in bed listening to music.

She kept signing, " hungry" 

But refused to get out if bed

I carried it to the living room to pile up n watch TV

She wasn't enthused and was allowed to get back in bed.

We will have to work on the morning ritual.

I have high expectations for this heavy quilt.

I'm thinking about sharing how I made it,

Would you be interested??
