Day 14 of 100 Faces in 100 days

I just have to say .. that I am so happy to have started this and i do sort of giggle about getting up in the morning so i can paint. But I also have to say that I am not oblivious to the world although I don't choose to watch television unless I decide to watch an occasional movie. I have seen so much conversation about what's happening in the world that I feel this tug that somehow it's wrong to have joy in this midst of all the crisis.

When I am able to fill my heart with gladness I have so much more to give. I am in my head so much sometimes that spending this time perfecting a painting is a release from that. All my thoughts are on the painting. I put all my focus on creating and just letting it happen till I feel it is done. Sometimes I just have to let it be. Progress not perfection. If i am happy then .....I'm Happy!!! A dear person in my life told me that I could be happy every day. Then I think ... how is that possible? It seems that when I feel happier......I get happier haha. The opposite is also true. When I leave my house today, my smile will be there and hopefully my smile will make you smile and things will be better. Not perfect just better .. for a minute or for longer.

Today I love the texture of the paper and the sewing .............texture makes happy lol .. Thanks for stopping over and todays painting on my moms old wrapping paper and a piece of mail is sewn together and painted in acrylic. The size is 81/2" x 9 1/2". The price is the number of the day so this one is $14. Message me or email me an whoever sends me a note first will be the new owner of today's happiness. :) haha. Have a fabulous day and I hope you smile at someone.  Thank you for stopping over. I do love to hear your comments.

  1. You know you're doing the right things in your life if you wake up each morning anxious to do your daily painting! I'm like that with my stitching - I can't wait to get the chores for the day out of the way so I can disappear into my sewing room and pick up my needle and threads.

  3. Oh, and I also wanted to ask if days 3,4,5 and 7 are sold? I think it'd be a good idea to write sold at the top or bottom of the description. Just as suggestion! Lisa
