Still going...


I am still adjusting to some big changes. Grateful for some things and missing others.  I am very happy though that stitching remains in my life. I started this while I was still in my old house and now I am in a new space ...i just picked this up again. It is about 13 x 13 .. my lucky number. I am going to just keep going and maybe make it the center of something. 



I still seem to want to have a clear picture of my journey but I'm not sure you can ever fully see the path in front of you. Some sameness is reassuring and I am grateful that I can find the beauty in nature no matter where I am. I am painting and gathering photos of the land around me. One thing this humid climate has are lots of always growing leaves. I have taken a keen interest in Sea Grape leaves. They are almost round but not exactly. Nonetheless they are big and bold and I love them. They will show up in my work .. and my work will show up in them or on them. What iffing .. like others i know and follow. I am enjoying the sunshine not always the heat. I want to keep up with this .. i miss the exchange I once had however small it seemed. I am lonely some days but I also enjoy the quiet.







I am also painting in blue.......of things that move me.. happy colors,
joy colors, colors of hope and possibilities.

  1. Hi there Tammy, I hope the changes work out well for you ...
    Although most of the time, you realize much later, after things have
    settled down again, that things may have changed for the better,
    though you weren't sure about that at the time ...

    LOVE the colours of your piece ! YES happy stitchers !!! (stitches connect
    layers ánd time)
    Beautiful leaves ! Can imagine they will appear somewhere in your work ...
    they're unknown to me.
    Your blue paintings are wonderful !

    Keep it up Tammy !
