Peaceful Energy

I  stopped watching tv and reading the news several years ago to limit the constant bombardment of negativity, yet now I am caught up in it particularly because of what's going on in Turkey.  

We are flying Turkish Airlines soon.  The US had temporarily cancelled all incoming flights from there so I guess the bright side is that this year I decided to fly into Canada to visit some of my in-laws before heading to the States.

This Prevention article from October 2007 entitled

"What a Wonderful World" is very relevant for today and voices how I feel.

I have to remind myself that there really is more good than what is reported in the news.  That it is a wonderful world.

Right now there just seems to be a whole lot of crazy which can be very unsettling.  And I wonder, is it crazier?  Or do we just hear more than usual?

I've been spreading a bit of crochet love around my corner of the world the past couple of days.

And today received this wonderful wooden plaque from a friend.

Inspiring advice from a rainbow.

Sending peaceful energy and thoughts out into the world as we view the full moon tonight.

Hoping and praying for a period of peace after so much chaos the past few weeks.

With light and love,

A Hank of a Mess

Yarn hanks.

They look so pretty.

But I never buy them.

Because of this.

What a mess!

I bought the yarn at a craft bazaar in November last year.

Wish I would have looked up how to properly unwind a hank but it's a little too late for that now.  At least I was able to yank enough out to get one pair of baby booties made, my first ever.

The pattern is from Wooly Wonders on YouTube.

Sweet Sunday Wishes,

Drop a Rock Day

I have never done Facebook or Twitter.

And never could get into Pinterest.

But Instagram, I LOVE for instant inspiration.

 @love_is_action_movement declared today, Sunday, July 3rd, as #droparockday ... asking people around the world to join in by painting a word or quote on a rock and dropping it in a public space to help make the world a kinder place.

I was up for the challenge and did the best I could with a few rocks I had laying around and old acrylic paints.  Also hung a few hearts that were donated by a friend in my craft group.

First stop, the playground at the park a few blocks from where I live.

Next was the playground at my local walking path.

 

And finally, the playground at the beach just down the road from me.

I hope that a few kids along with their moms will find these little gifts and appreciate them.

Mission accomplished so had a quick walk along the beach.

Lots of jellyfish spotted today.

And even found my own little gift.

Another heart-shaped rock.

Happy Sunday!
