My Moment of Zen!

Good Friday Morning My Friends,

 Wow, I awoke to a slight chill in the air....had to put the big bathrobe on to sit outside and drink my java....is Fall really in the air? But, while sitting outside I was just gazing at our community flower garden that myself and the other ladies in my building take care of....and much to my surprise, there was a beautiful Spider Lilly that had bloomed! None of us even knew there was a Spider Lilly planted there. I just sat and stared....as I was amazed, not just by the beauty of the flower, but, that I had forgotten after the past two weeks of "emotional BS" that I have been through...to "stop and smell the roses"....I had forgotten to "just stop and enjoy the beauty around me".

 Some of you know that I had NOT my Heart broken,but, more so, my PRIDE...after realizing that I had been in an "intense friendship"for over two months with someone that had not been truthful with his intentions...(and if any of his friends are lurking...as they have been reporting back to him everything I say and do...well, Good Morning to you")....so high schoolish....but,anyway...I realized that I'm so much better than the lies that were told....and that I have so much to be thankful for in my Life....

And,if my Higher Power has someone again for me...then it will work out....if not, then my Life is so full of love and thankfulness that I have nothing to worry about...so, with that said I want to share pics of this awesome Spider Lilly that appeared in our garden and a beautiful Canna Lilly...






Thank you to you,my blogging family....you are always there for me to share my crafts,paintings, and just be there for me.

Blessings,
Deborah

    Great post! I think we have all felt this way, even though the exact circumstances may be different, we've all been there and this is GREAT encouragement to see the "flowers" around us...thank you!

    Hi Deborah! This is my first visit here (I came from Create with Joy) and I love what you have to say - such a great attitude amidst what I can tell is sometimes… not the very best. You are a role model to many through your blog. Hooray!

    Thank you for sharing the beautiful lily pictures. It is also fluffy bathrobe time in Illinois. I am enjoying the end of our flowers before the first frost. Thank you blogging and sharing.

DIY Zip Tie Bohemian Bracelets! VaVoom!

Image
Good Sunday Evening Everyone, Well, if you have ever visited my Pinterest boards, you know that I love Bohemian ANYTHING! The colors.....the clothes.....the furniture.....I'm an "ole hippie", what do you expect! I have seen so many things online, from clothes to jewelry, that have touched my bohemian soul, but, of course, for the most part, I can not afford to buy what I like. So, I resort to learning how to make it instead, and recently, I had seen these zip tie bracelets and just didn't think they would turn out like the pictures, but they did! Easy Peazy! You will need the large zip ties, your jewelry making tools, strips of cloth, jewelry wire and scotch tape. Yes, scotch tape! I took a zip tie and made a circle to measure the size of my wrist, but then just added a "smidgen"and then cut off the end of the zip tie and taped the circle together. I then took about a 24 inch strip of fabric and made a knot with one end around the zip tie circle and star...

Everyone Loves Watermelon....Right?

Good Monday Evening Everyone, Wow, can you believe that it is already the 6th of May??? I can't.....it seems like it was just yesterday that I  moved into my new home in February! But, I'm not complaining...especially after all the rain we got last week, the Sun was out today....there was a nice breeze blowing....and I had breakfast with my 2 daughters this morning, and my 4 1/2 month old grandson! It was wonderful, and I knew Summer is on it's way! When I was growing up, one of my favorite times of the Summer was when you could see all the watermelons for sale, and my Daddy loved him some watermelon! He would go to the local little farmer's stand where all his buddies whom were farmers were selling fresh local produce. He would load up the car with watermelons and come home. We would ice them down in a cooler that morning and then he would make us go outside to play! So, the water hoses were brought out and slung over a tree branch.....water sprinklers were set  ...

The Lady with Blue Eyes...New Folk Art Painting

Image
Good Friday Evening Everyone, Wow, it has been an absolutely beautiful day down here in rural South Georgia in my hometown of Waycross. The Sun has been shinning most of the day.....a soft, gentle breeze has been whispering through the pines.....just an all around great day..... and what better time for me to premiere my newest, and I think my best, folk art painting. I had this idea in my head for along time....I wanted her to be a little whimsy.....slightly "hippieish".... magical....secretive.....and special. I used both acrylic and oil painting....I had an old frame in my craft closet....and decided to glue the frame to the mat. I really love her....and proudly have her hanging in my bedroom....hope you enjoy her: The Lady with Blue Eyes I had said many months ago, when I started this journey of sharing my crafts, my paintings, my jewelry that I didn't feel like I was an artist. But, my sister said to me..."sissy you are an artist".....y...
