See Things For What They Can Be

I Am My Worst Enemy

I have been wanting to post for a few days now and I have talked myself out of it several times. No, this won’t be a boo hoo, sad sob post, but an acknowledgement. One that I have known for as long as I can remember. It’s in the title of the post.

As an example.

On some of my morning walks, I walk past a construction site. Right around Thanksgiving, I’m walking and look up and noticed pumpkins on top of a hill. The type of hill that is formed at a lot of sites as they move soil in preparation for the work, or soil that is hauled in.

Now, for one of the things I’m really bad at, not capturing the moment, I smiled and kept walking and for several days since. But as December rolled in, something must have dropped on my head because I took a couple photos.

It seems different now than when I first spotted them up there and could be why I’ve talked myself out of writing the post. But what I find more intriguing is the fact that either these construction workers put them up there or someone else did and they are still there.

In the end, it’s really nothing but pumpkins on a hill at a construction site. But at the same time, it really is…something.

Love’s Piece Is Love’s Peace

Love’s piece cannot define that which it exhibits with love’s peace

Love is by the worth it gives as receiving to love

Smoldering hearts heated cores to burn for love

Sensations to ends of nerves endings heightened

Yet be it exuberance, to still the senses to pause, reflections

Making Progress

I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without posting. But I have been busy and working more hours at work. The heat of the day and work has taken its toll. I do have an update on my progress and I do have to say that it is taking longer than I had anticipated but much of that is due to my perfectionist attitude. I know I’m  spending too much time trying to get things right so I am pushing myself to get this done so that I can work on more artwork for more products.

I did do some editing of current artwork and spent a lot of time on that. I have some items on hand already but I am holding off on showing them until the site is ready but I would like to show some photos of my grandchildren modeling t-shirts because the pics I had to take before getting one that I could use was too good not to show.

So here is what I went through to get  a good shot.

A Blogger’s Pic In Poetry 6

As you can see from the post title, this is my sixth poem inspired by a blogger’s photo. I love the water, pictures of water and the sound of water crashing against rocks, rolling along in its creek bank or the waves in the ocean. It is therapeutic and soothing.

This photo is one of many on Leanne Cole’s blog. If you love water shots as much as I do, you should stop by and take a look. Even if you’re not an avid water lover, these pictures are sure to amaze.

I titled the poem after the title of Leanne’s blog post. Clicking the images will take you to that post.

Washing Down 

In pictures of water moving still

A photographer’s camera got its fill

Such sights to behold in a gallery untold

Til you see pic after pic unfold

See the beauty, feel the peace

In these pictures they unleash

 As fine as a violinists’ strings

The peace and calm each shot brings

You can almost hear the sound

Traveling water as it keeps its bound

A rock springs for air, I think not

You have to admit though, a great shot

Leanne Cole Photography

As the rain cleanses after its fall

So do these pics, to me after all

I wear this feeling, without frown

Of the water in each washing down

My Signature

The Power Of Love

This is a poem about true love and sacrifice.

It is actually the second of two that I wrote but the first one had some imperfections that appeared after printing I’m not happy with.

The photo with the frame really doesn’t do it justice. I will edit the photo later.

It can be purchased from my Etsy Shop.

Just When You Think

I haven’t really felt focused lately and feeling a little disconnected or dismantled. It’s like the pieces are all there but then I realize it’s a puzzle and I have to put them into place….instead of things falling into place. Out of frustration, I wasn’t seeing things that were right in front of me….but then, that’s how a puzzle works. I was starting to get down on myself pretty hard as in feeling sorry, nothing’s getting done.

Then out of the blue, I get three likes on a post I had published….actually the previous post. There was fstopfun, Dawn’s Stalker, and iGameMom. I really appreciated that they let me know they liked what I had designed….I needed that. Little did I know that was the beginning of things I really needed. I stumbled upon a post by way of StumbleUpon and it was really intriguing…an eye opener if you will. It helped me to reconnect with me, and from there I went over here where Getting Things Done was helpful even though I’m not a tech geek, I was able to identify with a lot of that because of the geek in my personality.

Things aren’t really as bad as I think they are….I think I’ve been having trouble just being me. Now I have to get and stay focused, work the puzzle and put things into place….and see the progress along the way. And the next time stuff happens….I’ll say again…

…..and keep  #workinon that puzzle.

New Projects

Since the giveaway started and ended, that space has given me time to start new projects and think ahead.

I’m probably going to open my ebay store and maybe an Etsy. I would like to offer some items from here but on the budget I’m working with, that type of an upgrade is not in the plans just yet, but I have some ideas on that end.

I’m thinking about bringing my blog over here to wordpress…..seriously thinking about it.

I have these three frames that I have almost ready for whatever I decide to put in them.

Not counting these three frames, I’m about to start a custom clock for someone.

Oh yeah, I have another frame I’m working on but I can’t show that one yet.

I sold two more clocks…I can only show one because the other is a gift and it hasn’t been given yet.

I have a pic of the clock but will have to get one with the buyer later on.
