something new

I went to McMinnville today to buy something from the art supply store. Just around the corner from there is Boersma’s. It’s small fabric store (sewing machines, miele vacuums, repair, quilting) that has a good selection of nice fabric. I ended up buying some fabric to make colourful pillow covers for 16″ square pillows. I’m thinking maybe i could sell a few. I like fabric, and i am pretty good at sewing things with straight lines. I put the pencils in the photos to give an idea of the size of the print. These fabrics were in their bargain area. The fabric is very expensive to start with, so i thought that it would be a good place to start. Though, they require a purchase at least one yard of the bargain selections. I had fun with matching fabric for the fronts and backs of the covers. How do you think i did? Do you like any of the match-ups? . . .layers and parts

Layering and playing continues. . .

At this point, i enjoy different parts as individual compositions more than the canvas as a whole.
Thought…
A card collection of three or four different parts.

Just as a body, though one, has many parts,
but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—
whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—
and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

i am thankful for a husband that does not believe
i am thankful for medication for depression
i am thankful for my hair getting thinner
i am thankful for droopy skin under my chin
i am thankful for car windows that don’t work
i am thankful for age spots
i am thankful for a smile from my teenager
i am thankful for dirty clothes and dishes

you’re a sweet orange

understanding
of my wicked heart
that will not
listen to you
when it hears
the whisper of words
that sing in golden hue

i am a drop of rain

and you thought you were covered

a gift in time
How does the noise of a city suddenly disappear just by seeing spring leaves lit-up by a street lamp?
.

As i write this, it is Sunday morning. And Monday begins Week 16 of 2012.
.
I notice the days fly and begin to wonder what’s really important, even though i already know.
I can make a list of things that physically need to be done. Things like cleaning, appointments, groceries. But, i can’t make a list for things like, “take a picture of a tree at night, that has little white lights, with leaves lit-up in the green of spring.” And there is no way to make a spiritual list, unless i could number one through infinity and continue to write “pay attention to God.”
The thing is, that the more i try to find ways for God to be a part of the things that i do, the farther i actually get away from from God being part of my life. Because, the fact is, God is always with me, and i must be with Him in the present time. Which means that i must speak to God within the moments that i am living, and listen to God in the moments that He speaks to me. There is no need for planning and list-making. There is no “trying to fit-God-into” what i do. It is a relationship that unfolds in each moment. You and i were given a gift of “relationship” with God, in Jesus.

Quote by Charles Caleb Colton:
Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things;
the past is gone, the future is not come,
and the present becomes the past even while we attempt to define it,
and, like the flash of lightning, at once exists and expires.

Quote by Tennessee Williams:
Time is the longest distance between two places.
