I
am starting something new here at Symple Tymes,
I
will be sharing not only my creations, but many others as well, and Writing about
them also Putting them in the "Spot Light"
Symple Tymes Gazette Vol #1
I
love to support other Artists of all realms
Whether
it be Doll Making, Quilting, Embroidery, Clay, Miniatures’
I
Love Creativity in every thing. I create what I feel I am comfortable with
and it makes me happy.
To
me just even looking in a Magazine, Book, Computer
Creativity
takes one away from problems, troubles of every day of life.
Creativity truly is a healing from God, after all He did
create
Earth and all the beauty which is in it. We all need to take
a step back each day for our selves
No
matter if you’re a Home Maker. Work outside the home, Retired,
We
all still need time to just let our very souls rest, Reflecting on the Good
Things in our lives , and letting go of all the junk that if we allowed would clutter our
lives.
I
have a challenge for you:
But
first let me tell you where I am coming from, We sold our home in Florida.
Husband
was born and raised there, His entire life.
Florida
is the only home we have ever known together. We just celebrated our 50th
Anniversary
I
was born and mostly raised in Ohio,
But
then in my teens my parents moved the family to Florida.
We
now as of September 13-2019 are residents of North Carolina!
We
stayed with our kids 6 very long months, Talk about stress whoa..for everyone.
Making
a long story short. We are in a awesome home, I can say “The Home Of Our
Dreams” It does have a basement. But it all so has one living level, and stairs
that go up to two big bed rooms and a full bath for family, friends when they
come visit !!
Our
New Home was freshly painted inside and out, and what I call fluffed up,
To
us of course it is gorgeous..And we want to make our home
SO
there is a lot of elbow grease to be done, SCRUBBING before we can unpack.
Then
my sweet husband came down with Shingles do to all the stress.
He
even had the Shingles Vaccination
before we left Florida.
I
do the best I can, The movers of course put boxes that belong in the house,
down in the basement, and boxes that belong in the basement in the house..
So
unpacking is slow at the moment and we still have a lot in storage at our sons
.
We
are so very Thankful for our New Home and also it has a bit over a half acre
all nicely fenced in.
I
am so Thankful the grass has slowed down in growing, Gene is in such pain he
can’t sweat so he cannot mow the grass, Which we only have a push mower at this
time..
I
am telling you all this because, everything was starting to get to me,
I
found myself Complaining instead of being Thankful and Happy.
When
you have a bad attitude it makes
everything that much worse.
I
see the mountains’ of boxes that need unpacking and just shake my head
Thank
Goodness I took my frustrations out on cleaning,!
We
have the cleanest Kitchen, Bath rooms, and Bed rooms!!
But
it hit me this morning.
I
fixed my coffee and came into what is going to be “My” sewing room which has my
computer set up,
I
haven’t been on my computer do to cleaning, moving etc..
I started looking at emails from other Doll
Makers; Next I was looking at pinterest.
All the sudden it was like sun shine on the inside of me,.
People
creating, the colors, the wow’s how did they do that kind of feeling.
It
was like God was showing me, Stop. Trust, Rely on Him ,and only on Him
He
is very able to work everything out.
BUT: I need to take time to Refresh , Refresh my Soul, Mind
and Bbody,
How
by CREATING ! !
As
I stopped and looked around my new sewing room I began to think differently
This
is a time in our lives right now that IS a fresh New Beginning for Gene and I…
All
the sudden the boxes were not mountains any more
They
were gifts exciting to open up and see what each box held inside.
Yes
most defiantly there will be a huge down sizing
That
also will be fun to do.
As
I went to get my second cup of coffee, I was a different person, I found a skip
and a hop and a Joy most of all “Thankful for SO much”
God
is so good all the time; He cares about every detail in our lives,
As
I came back to finish this letter, I felt The Lord drop this in to my heart.
We
all should take one hour every day and just stop what we are doing...and go do
something for ourselves that is creative. You will be surprised how this time
is a blessing God wants to bless you with.
I
have a challenge for you:
Make
it a point; Discipline yourself to take that one hour for yourself,
even if you have to set a clock to do so. Be CREATIVE in your Mind, Soul and
Body
But just DO IT!
Be
“Thankful” all the time, not in just good times, Be “Thankful To God in the bad
times also” The bad times won’t last long
I
will leave you with a real-estate picture of my new sewing room to be!
Colossians 3:23- KJV
23 :And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and
not unto men;
