Sewing and Painting Silk scarf with a Printed Silk Boarder

This is what happens when I want to figure out how to do something... I really love sewing and I was wondering if I could sew a double miter border? Success! 

What a fabulous scarf, the boarder adds just enough weight and a great texture that I think I will be sewing and painting more often. 

I need some feed back first... What do you think? LIKE or Not really... feel free to post I would love to hear some feedback on this one.

Beautiful Sunday in Kairouan Tunisia

Sundays are my favorite day of the week. Living in Utah it quickly became my favorite day because there were not as many cars on the road. I would drive through the canyons and take in the beautiful solitude and colors of the season. Now, I am half way across the world and life is very different from home, sunday is still one of my favorite days. I walk through the streets with the other early morning people and feel much less like a tourist and more like someone who is happy to be right where I am, starting the new day.

Its easier to take in all the happenings when there is less going on, mornings are my kind of day. I see more when I don't have to worry as much. 

and now for my Snapshot of Kairouan... 3 artichoke hearts

Fresh from the farm where someone took and extra 5 seconds of thought to put them together in a beautiful arrangement.  I appreciate the extra care and time it took, so much so that I took the time to photograph theses beauties before we eat them.

I would love some feed back on my now two posts... How am I doing so far?

Beginnings

First blog, First post, I feel so fresh and new...

This will be an interesting journey for me, I'm always up to learn something new and right now I am feeling a little overwhelmed but I know I will get the hang of it.

Today I would like to make one more post about my current projects that consume my day and then hop on over to my facebook page to learn a little more about hooking this all together. I've always felt I have something good to share with you all, I guess its time to show myself what I'm made of.

My mom said it was "sugar and spice and everything nice" maybe she was right about everything nice but i'm not so sure about the sugar and spice. We will see...
