#vinylallthethings

I've been such a "cut-up" lately...

I had been wanting to make a giant canvas for a long time. A little re-decorating of the front room plant shelf was my impetus.

This is Psalm 100 on a 24" x 36" canvas from the HobLob.

My friends are relocating their antique shop to downtown Glendale and asked me to make a few signs.

I usually spend way more time designing than the cutter takes to cut the vinyl! 

And then my friend found stashed (& forgotten) stocking-stuffers from 2 years ago. I tried a little stretch vinyl on them. 

I also made the hubs a shirt he'd been asking for since the one he special ordered at a shop (who knew tall men need longer t-shirts?!?) has started to wear.

I've also got a few more projects in the planning/designing stage...

windless sails

One minute you feel like you're on top of the world...

...the next you feel like you're hanging on for dear life.

Sometimes God sends nice winds to keep your sails full & move you across the water.

But often there is no breeze and you have to rely on a motor to get anywhere.

Many times the seas are choppy and batter you about.

Other times you just sit around waiting for a little excitement.

So lately I've been luffing, as it were. Flutters of activities here & there, but really no drive to blog about them. When you see news of flooding, bombing, theatre-shooting, starvation around the world... what is life really about? My little stitching project or new recipe just doesn't seem that important. Hopefully soon I'll catch a fair wind and start cruising again.
