This is my October calendar. I printed off 2 x 3 pictures and fitted them in. Some of them are of other people's art and sewing that I liked and some are of fabric that I liked. I have started another one for November as it is quite fun looking for things to take photos of. Some pictures of of my own sewing and crafts:
This is an art journal page that I did today. I have been re-reading Care Of The Soul by Thomas Moore and these are some quotes from his book:

SEE THE SACRED DIMENSIONS OF EVERY DAY.


IN ORDINARY LIFE CREATIVITY MEANS MAKING SOMETHING FOR THE SOUL OUT OF EVERY EXPERIENCE.


WE CAN ALL CREATE SACRED BOOKS AND BOXES - A VOLUME OF DREAMS, A HEARTFELT DIARY, A NOTEBOOK OF THOUGHTS, A PARTICULARLY MEANINGFUL ALBUM OF PHOTOGRAPHS - AND THUS IN A SMALL BUT SIGNIFICANT WAY CAN MAKE THE EVERYDAY SACRED. THIS KIND OF SPIRITUALITY, SO ORDINARY AND CLOSE TO HOME, IS ESPECIALLY NOURISHING TO THE SOUL.

This is how I wish to live my life.


A soulful, healthy meal:

Tomatoes, cucumber, orange pepper, walnuts, German butter cheese, brocconini cheese balls (it's the first time I've had these and they are pretty tasteless), basil leaves and sour cream for a dressing/dip. Very delicious (except for the brocconini!!!)

Rain on autumn leaves is so beautiful. That is the ocean in the background. It was evening and the lights had come on, you can see the reflection on the water, especially in the second one:



I have been working on my purses and my calendar which I will photograph tomorrow.




I am at a plateau with my weight loss and I am eating a little too much to lose right now but that


is okay. I only have six more pounds to lose to reach my goal. I will get back to it soon and shed those last few pounds.




My great granddaughter will be three on Friday. Time sure does fly!!
