Usein iltaisin istun työhuoneella ikkuna auki, kynttilöiden valossa, kuunnellen mustarastaan laulua ja tarkastellen päivän työn tuloksia. Tämä pieni apina loistaen valoa muistuttaa minua aina ihmisen olevaisuudesta; kuinka tavoittelemme maallista mainetta ja materiaa, unohtaen niin helposti olla tässä hetkessä läsnä; avoimena ja nöyrin mielin, silti ylpeänä omasta itsestään ja eläen itsensä näköistä elämää.

Kultainen apina symbolisoi minulle ilkikurisuutta, myös liiallista itsetietoisuutta ja jopa julkeutta. Katsellen tuota pientä kitschimäistä otusta, maadoitan itseni tähän hetkeen ja asiat saavat oman paikkansa ja arvonsa; Me ihmiset olemme aikamoisia kultaisia apinoita. Sen tiedostaen on helpompi olla ihan vain oma itsensä, omine haavoittuvuuksineen, vajavaisuuksineen ja vahvuuksineen.
Ihanaa ja levollista iltaa juuri Sinulle! Tässä ja Nyt.

Today's "I'm laid off and bored" project.

Figured a torii gate for my desk would be really nice. So why spend $10 and buy one when I could 1) Pinch the skin between my thumb and finger between a hammer and chisel. 2) Make a mess everywhere. 3) Aggravate my lower back pain by bending over chiseling. 4) Realize how much of a pain in the ass cutting a mortice in a round dowel is.

Thankfully wood filler exists. 🤣

The image shows a small wooden structure placed on a wooden dining table. The structure consists of two vertical cylindrical wooden rods connected by a horizontal rectangular wooden piece, forming an H or Torii gate shape. The joints where the pieces are connected have visible wood filler or putty applied, which appears to be in the process of drying or has not yet been sanded smooth. In the background, there are wooden dining chairs with a carved floral design on their backrests.

I've finished #quilting this lap quilt! It's not particularly large but it's taken me a year to complete and it's absolutely been a labour of love. I have a deeper appreciation for hand stitching!

I'm sending it to my sister who's still undergoing chemo, with a note that says "each stitch is a prayer for your good health and happiness" and some photos of it in progress so she can see how many stitches actually went into it.

A transparent A4 weston box with a quilt inside, the lid open and resting on the side of it. The quilt is folded so that the central yellow and red starburst is in the centre of the box. At the centre of the starburst is a hand-drawn panel of The Little Prince standing with a rose and a fox. Also resting on the corner of the box is a photo of the quilter sewing the quilt.
A full view of the front of the quilt. The quilt is in three main sections, the centre is a round starburst in yellow, red, and lavender, squared out by white fabric with small green, red, and blue stars. At the centre of the starburst is a hand-drawn image from The Little Prince including the prince on his planet, a rose, and a fox. The hair of the little prince has been satin stitched in yellow, the rose is 3D embroidered, and the fox's tail has also been satin stitched to give it the illusion of fluffiness. To either side of the starburst square are two squares: One of the squares is a Bright Hopes Star with the centre square matching the white star field, framed by red to match the starburst, with yellow rays to match the starburst. The field is lavender as in the starburst. The other square is navy blue with appliqued planets in yellow and red with yellow and red embroidered stars. A light green is used around the two squares to make them the same height as the starburst, and another strip of the same light green is on the outside to make the quilt a little wider. Each block of light green has a different style of top stitching, including straight lines, zigzags, and some hexagonal sashiko. The whole quilt is bordered with a dark green.
