Smiles

What gives you an instant smile?
What when you see it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy?
Could be lots of things..
One of my “smiles” are sheep/goats..
I’m not alone, I see sheep pictures, curios, soft toys in all the shops.
Sheep, in person, when you visit them on a farm, may look soft and cuddly, but if their coats are full
and they are out in the pasture, its ah… not so inviting to throw your arms around them for a snuggle.. LOL nor will they necessarily let you.

A Felter, I have tried to clean raw fleece.. what a chore that was. I loved the activity though, the thought that I was doing what pioneer women did, clean, dry, and the prepare the fleece through the different stages to either felt or knit/crochet with. I only made it so far, I stumbled and stalled when i got to the spinning wheel phase. My wheel sits waiting for me to gather the patience to sit and try again. Still when i look over and see my spinning wheel, I smile.. it reminds me of happy moments when I was knee-deep in organic fibers .. the other project that I will leave to others is the dying of the fleece. In the living room I have a showcase full to brimming of all the different colours I could find. My stash is another “smile” in my life.

Smiles come in all shapes and sizes and they originate from a happiness inside. a person who is always pleasant and cheerful, can spread their joy wherever they go.

Just imagine the thrill and happiness this athlete is experiencing. A “smile” he /she will remember for an eternity.

Always remember to smile. Seeing a resident of Raglan Shire (Zoolie), makes me smile. photo taken by Q avatar is a Loco Poco kangaroo … You smiling?

Did you know – Sheep people (Chinese Astrology) are thought to be sensitive, talented and extremely creative, elegant and charming. They get along with almost everyone, they are peace loving, ardent and easygoing.

Happy Monday the 30th. September

Well dear reader, today is the day, tomorrow will be October 1. October is the first day of a month of bewitching crafts,art pieces,ATCs,fun with my paper and embellishment supplies, all month I get to play. Of course it wasn’t always this way, at one time I had a 9-5 commitment that took time away from doing fun things,like draw witches and goblins, graveyards and bats, decorate envelopes before sending out a greeting to a fellow artist and friend.
We are never too old to express ourselves with markers and stickers. Wish we had dollar stores in the bygone years.

PL Precept #1…Life is Art

If you are an artist, or craft person, writer,architect,parent,cook, housekeeper, it doesn’t really matter what we do that fills our world with “fun”, we find a way to get what we want to do done.

In life,in all situations, I try to apply the same attention and attitude to all challenges and detours I find in my path.

When the enthusiasm is there even if not a “perfect: day, it is a “worthwhile” day, I live and learn. we are asked to Listen with our hearts and minds to those around us, to give them our full attention. I’ve had to learn to do that for myself as well.

Some days I just have to retreat, and have a “me” day. What was the expression used at work,”a wellness day”. The fall for me is a time to come alive, I know to many it is spring that does it for them, me… give me a fall day anytime.

Fall is when we get to do fun things for the N. American Halloween, and the start of the gift making for the holidays.
The Canadian Thanksgiving and the American one are on different days. And of course in PL we celebrate EVERY MONTH!

Enjoy today everyone, do something special for yourself or a loved one. Think ahead to the delightful crisp fresh rejuvenating days of October. Don’t groan, as they say in the egg business, Get Cracking!

Blessings to each and everyone one of you on this happy happy morning.

Somewhere – some how

Another time – another place- another dimension
really ? you sure? yes, really?
It’s you?, yes it’s me!
go on! you’re kidding right?
no, no it’s me, what can i say, some days
are better than the rest… Today is the 19th.
Monday, all day today
that will be me. We only get to live a moment once,
Make it count!

Perfect LIberty

I’ll have to go back and take another picture now that the snow is all gone. The grass is green and the flowers have begun to bloom. Although this shows the building itself, the welcoming entrance. The love and community in this building gives it a life of its own, always one feels welcome when visiting the church of Perfect Liberty.

I’ve been silent for some time now. No one reason, just that I’ve been busy living day to day, moment to moment. When one focuses on “Being in the Moment” days are full, satisfying and rewarding. I have written a number of introductions to PL for a magazine we have here in Ottawa called Tone. It is my hope that in so doing, there will be others who read the words and thoughts and want to come and explore what PL is all about..

“PL’s teachings are practical and common sense. They are the sort of things you will read in positive thinking and self help books, or hear in motivational speeches. The difference is that the members are assisted in practicing them in everyday life through discussions,consultations and prayer” borrowed from my article in the May issue. =^_^=

I have found that committing myself to being a member of the church has made a difference in my life. I was happy before, now I’m even happier. Oshieoya-sama has said that PL can help unhappy people become happy and happy people become even happier. I believe. The website for the Church of Perfect Liberty in Ottawa is http://www.perfectliberty.ca There are PL churches in parts of the States and in Canada. The Motherland is in Japan, with a second Mother land in Brazil.

Those of you who follow my travels and ramblings know that I am a member of the Second Life community and have spent many years enjoying various communities within SL. I’ve especially enjoyed building, traveling and exploring the virtual world. Most recently blogging for the fashionista and divas in SL on Fashion, Lifestyles etc. with my blog http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com

Now, Q ( Qyhat Harbour) who has spent the last many years as a Tiny is going to open up her home to those wanting to know more about the Church of Perfect Liberty. I so believe that the teachings of Perfect Liberty can make profound changes in a person’s life.I want to share with anyone who wants to learn. Virtual world is a beginning, once one has been introduced to the simplicity of its teachings and is ready to move on, there are churches and groups for them to meet and explore in RL. Anyone wanting to find out how, and where, need simply contact me or check out the website. This is your limo to the “house” of Perfect Liberty http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Greenberry/228/56/35

PL thought for today – Just Be Yourself – relax and express yourself freely without hesitation. This will allow you to live your life to the fullest.

Changing Seasons

I love this time of year. It energizes and gets me into a creative mood. October for me is a month of having fun. I love the crisp mornings, and the way the day just seems to flow from one activity to the next. Time to work with my various “tools” I can’t decide should I sew, felt, write, make cards. I love love love the fall. A friend on Facebook, sent out a challenge, she posted a picture of a corner in her workshop. Asked who would follow suit. Oh my, I am a fan of Sherry’s, she is not only a talented artist/craftsperson, she is a fabulous teacher. I met her through the CDAA (Canadian Doll Artist Association) (artist who designed one of a kind dolls/characters) Ohhh I looked around my work space. Could I do it? While I was contemplating her “challenge” she posted another picture of another area , one that looked much like parts of mine, it made me feel so good that I was not alone in my artistic fuddle, I got out my camera.

LOL it is now early November, and I found this draft with a picture of what my studio looked like the, I’ve since cleared out that corner and put in shelving I found at at a closing out sale at a department store. Hmm let me see if I got a picture to show you of what it looks like now. No.. so I just took one to share with you, and then I’ll post this draft otherwise, it will stay hidden here till…?? note the new addition to my “tools” a Singer Ultralock 14u32, anyone out there give me some help setting it up with tension etc.

(I started this post Oct. 12) Sigh… but I did get back to it.. and I am following through a posting the picture of my studio corner… only now ..=^_^= you get an after shot to go with it.

Also my http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com that was until recently focused mainly on the diva fashions of the “biggie” virtual world of SL (Second Life) will now expand to include the many delights of Second Life, the landscaping, architecture and all the creative “stuff” I love about virtual building,design/ART.
