Hearfelt


Still trying to recover
7 weeks and counting
Studio time in my pajamas
 Several yards of distressed burlap,
jute, buttons and wool.


a mended heart



Feels good to hear the whir of the machine
 and feel the rough/soft juxtaposition of fabrics.
Anthropologie candle burning, twinkle lights on.
I need to spend more time here.
Perhaps that is the prescription I need.


i belong to you
you belong to me
you're my sweetheart



wools felted in


and yes I'm selling,
perhaps reopening my shop..
day by day
waiting to see where I'm going.


a few hearts here and there around oldgreymare



Happy Valentines Day

Z I hope you are feeling better every day! Love your hearts and wish I could create like you. Do you stamp your own words on fabric to make the ribbon? I hope you do open your shop again!
Again my thanks for the awesome package you sent me! You will see the gifts soon on my blog!
hugs,
Linda

Oh, Z, you are SO creative!! These little burlap hearts are absolutely beautiful!!! All of your work is! I wish I could gently tap you on the shoulder with a magic wand and your health would be 100% "improved and splendid"...let's just think in that direction and take in all of the sunshine (both real and heartfelt) we possibly can. :) Blessings, my friend. I continue to look for your posts and consider you my Friend From the West in the cloud. Peace and Grace~

I love the hearts you made me a few years ago. I still keep them in a pretty bowl on my nightstand.

I'm so sad to hear you still have this nasty bug...that's one thing I've noticed about it, people seem to have it a long time. I know you are taking good care of yourself. I am wishing it away for good.

XO,
JAne
