refocusing
Yesterday was one of those days. Where a humbling experience can cause you to refocus, alter the lens you use to view everything. It was one of those “505 moments”.
Its never easy to be compelled by life to humility (come to think of it, its happened a lot lately, maybe the universe is trying to tell haughty ‘ol me something). I woke up this morning feeling softer, meeker and a bit stronger. Wishing though that my insecurities we fewer instead of greater. I’ve noticed the more insecure I feel about something the more critical I am of others- which is kind of an ugly trait.
Some quotes that have been running through my head lately, “When we know better, we do better.” and “You have to do your best and then trust that everyone else is doing the same.”
Can’t we all just hold hands and sing Kumbaya?
On an unrelated note….I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a few video tutorials, but am unsure where to start. Do you think embroidery stitches would be helpful (I kinda feel like youtube is already over run with those??) Or maybe some simple sewing tutorials? Any suggestions?

It’s a bit ironic that you posted this today…I’ve been going through the same type of intense thought lately myself. It’s humbling and overwhelming but I too feel a bit stronger. I believe the lord allows us these moments to help build our strength. I once heard “to others is wise but to know yourself is enlightenment”. That has stuck with me for years.
As for tutorials anything is fun. Maybe do a variety. Most people like tutorials that are a completed project when done. Like how to make a…kind of thing. Good luck coming up with them! Can’t wait to see what you do!

I think embroidery tutorials would be great especially if you could give tips on which stitches are better for what things. For example, I was trying to find a tutorial online the other day on which stitch would be better for lettering and there weren’t any that were very good.
