Trees and Flowers Make Wonderful Art! :)

Spring is here and soon the beautiful flowers and trees 

will be blooming! This is my favorite season with all the 

beautiful colors and freshness all around.

                                                  

There is still some snow on the ground 

and I'm anxious to see the grass once again.

In the meantime, I can do my artsy fartsy 

Spring stuff.this is more fun than Spring cleaning!

Crochet & Needlework - Afghan

This is one of many afghans I've crocheted over the years.

I made this one for my daughter. I really enjoy crochet as it

goes much faster than hand knitting, although I love to do both. 

One other bonus, when winter arrives and as the 

afghan progresses, my legs keep warm! :)  

Someone - A Poetry Video

"Someone" is a poem about love and relationships. Whether it's love from family or friends, we all need someone to be there for us. I hope you enjoy this poetry video I've created. Have a beautiful day with many blessings, always.

A Star (Quilt) In Progress

I started this quilt years ago. I really need to finish this one. I finally found the perfect white iron bed frame which will look lovely with the blue and white of this star quilt. I've since added the borders...now I must decide how I want to quilt it. Maybe in a swirly pattern. :) Only time will tell! LOL :)

Hope - A Poetry Video

I love visual art and thought I would try a video of some random photographs I took around my house. I put some effects and textures to the photos and turned it all into a video to go with my poem Hope... I guess you can have hope in turning everyday things into art!!! LOL Have a great day!

Spacey Photo Effects

All of these photos are made with different effects using the same photo for each variation. 

I love the many varieties here in this collection. It's amazing what you can do with one photograph of a cloudy sky. 

I will be posting more collections in this series of "Space" photo art. Stay tuned!                     

                                                                                      

                                                         

                                            

                                             

This World

"This World" is a poem I wrote one day while thinking 

of all the problems we have in our daily lives around the 

world.  First touching on the loneliness one feels when 

a love has ended and pondering over life, thinking about

 the larger problems we have all around us and how are 

we to fix them?  We can start by showing some kindness 

and love in this world we all share. Kindness and a smile 

go a long way to cheer a person up and let them know 

that we can all spread this love around this planet.

Perhaps one day, things will start getting better and more 

world problems would be lessened with love and a simple

act of kindness, not hatred toward our fellow human beings.

This World

Standing at the edge of a cliff, looking out to sea

Trying to make sense of all this world around me

Love can mess you up inside and break your wounded heart

I feel as though this world we share is only falling apart 

So much hatred and anger in this world today

What happened to unconditional love, has it gone away

Our Earth is a wasteland of broken families and shattered dreams

Each day the tragic headlines just make me want to scream.

Death, destruction, war, greed, poverty, homeless people on the street

Hate crimes, suicide, rapes, murders, starving children begging at our feet.

What will it take to stop this self destruction we all face

Must we succumb to the inevitable annihilation of our human race

What can we do now to change this crumbling world that we've made

Love, respect, honesty, prayers, charity and helping one another each day

A smile, a hug, and sharing some love, isn't so difficult to do

What you choose to give out to the world, is that which comes back to you
