Sewing for Fun and Healing

Hello All!

Happy Friday!

Last week I decided that Yes I did want to create a slip cover for my

gorgeous (orange) couch, that doesn't seem to match with anything!

I have been dreaming about how nice it would look

in my art room in a soft white to match my rose adorned curtains

(see header, right side)...

So that is what I have been doing for 4 days, and I am almost done!

Yippeeeeee!

I watched a few YouTube videos and got the general idea,

then just winged it from there...

So far so good! I have finished sewing the liner and the top slipcover,

and have even finished the ruffle.

Just a few more touches and I will share a "before" and "after" photo. 

It was a big job, but not near as bad as I thought it would be,

and boy does it feel good to start a project and not stop until it is done : )

This is what is on my table now...

Three more prayer flags for a swap at Creative Lenna.

I have dyed some lace, dyed some fabric, used some old tea bags, some beads, 

and I still have the sewing and final embellishments to do.

Creating these flags is very enjoyable...contemplating the prayer, thinking good thoughts

around healing and peace....all feels very GOOD. 

Thank you so much Lenna for an opportunity to partake in such a fine swap!

What are you creating this weekend ?

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Terri

Prayer Flag Banner

Hello All!

Happy Joyful July to you!

Summer is in full swing,

 and Mother Nature is having hot flashes! 

....just like me ; )

This past week I had the joyful opportunity to create a banner of prayer flags!

My inspiration is Gail of Creative Workshops ,

she very generously put up a Free video on the creation of

prayer flags for the members...(anyone can join!) 

Old linen runners, bits of fragile vintage lace, tissue thin old embroidered hankies, vintage sheet music,

buttons, old millinery, and old photographs were lovingly gathered and rearranged over and over until 

each flag represented a prayer or wish I hold for myself, my family and the world.

I even tried my hand at a bit of embroidery!

See my birdie above?

My deepest wish and prayer is for the healing of all...

Healing

I used this dear woman to represent the feminine spirit

She has such a wise and knowing gaze...

She has clarity and balance...

I love that she can come out of the pocket.

Balance....

My prayer for faith in LOVE

LOVE

Hanging prayer flags outside, lets the breeze carry the healing prayers all around the world.

I received an invitation to join a Prayer Flag swap with Lenna at Creative Lenna!

She hosted a mini book swap a year ago that I loved and I am excited to join in this swap too.

My hands are already reaching for more material to get started on!

Yay!

I have seen these beautiful prayer flags on blogs all over the Internet lately...and I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to put my prayers in form. I was so delighted to see the prayer flags Frieda Oxenham created and is showing on her blog. They are amazing!

There is also a blog dedicated to The Prayer Flag Project, and you can visit it and see many beautiful prayers. I have decided to take part in this one too : )

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. 

Hugs of LOVE,

Terri
