Blackbird Fly

Blackbird Fly

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

~~~~All your life~~~~

You were only waiting for this moment to arise. ~ The Beatles

Blackbird Fly is one of my favorite Beatles songs. At the mere age of 5 years, this song was written and I still carry the tune with me.

Black and White--Thursday Thoughts


All of us experience bumps here and there in our ability in expression
 for creativity and our passion for color;

 hence, the color is drained from our being at times.

Hope is knowing and believing
 that the color will return;

that our appreciation of colors wouldn't even occur

~~~~without experiencing the black and white.

Threads recommended:

Crescent Colors~~ Colonial Copper
Gentle Art Sampler threads~~~Apple Cidar
Gentle Art Sampler threads~~Buttercrunch  (yellow)

I love Colonial decor and this would make a lovely addition when stitched up as a pillowkeep for your keeping room.

Inspire my heart with your finishes and I will post on the blog to share!

Every day is a new beginning


every day is brand new start

it’s about the wheels you are spinning

and the sun inside your heart
