in the weary grip of blogger burn out I embrace creative moments at an old wooden table
finding gratitude in vintage brown cloth with flowers in shades of autumn hope
snips of left over twine ... fashioned into yet another quirky wing
there lies a reminder to stay devoted
inspired always by the creative energies of
poetic friends . a home within us
far away pine forest of shared beauty
I will use these four weeks to create simple birds
from raveling vintage cloth . long tucked away in a cardboard box
thankful for November and its reminder that devotion is an act of the heart

sending refreshment & hugs.
lovely photos, friend. xo

Love the 'negative' space created by your cutout. And I think we're all familiar with the burnout. This too..shall pass??
devotion is an act of the heart...*SIGH*...how sweet and true. I must write that down in my journal today. :o) Loving the play with fabric and words here today, Elk. Yours is a place of refuge from a busy day... thank you. It is easy to get bloggers burnout. When we've been posting for years it's hard not to feel the accumulation and the question mark of what stretches before us next...Poised between it all...Happy Weekend, my friend ((HUGS))
refuge.. yes,
and also inspiration.
thank you.
that empty bird space is perfect.
devotion is an act of the heart. remember to stay devoted to yourself.
beautiful as always.

Oh, flowery birds! Isn't that a unique symbiosis! Thank you for linking to my forest, i would love to roam it together with you. In reality.
This is one of my favorite little birds dear elk...your burn out does not show as your devotion burns so brightly!
when I'm in a blogger burnout it's ones like you that inspire and motivate me to carry on.
i am thankful for your devotion to your art that brightens my day.
I'm feeling that blogger burn out - I love it but with everything else in life so crazy it feels (for just a moment) like one more thing I need to keep up with - thanks for filling my reader with beauty and a reminder that the inspiration is worth the effort
belissima! here's to pushing through any burn-out. xx
Hey Elk, if this is what you do during burn out, there's no worries!
I love seeing your art and reading your words, always.
a perfect birdie to match the perfect sentiments.
i so enjoy stopping by here. thanks for this moment of peace.
one love.
I understand blogger burnout, especially when you feel obligated to post. It should be a fun thing, I hope you can enjoy it again soon. I just take a few days off when I feel overwhelmed by life or work. Fortunately, I always feel like coming back but I know other people sometimes don't. We all have enjoyed your birds all year, though, and hope you continue to post...if you want to.
what a gentle reminder ... so very thankful for you!
devotion *is* an act of the heart.
wishing you rest and replenishment this month.
Now here's a turn of events...a fresh look! I've never seen you work in such a print. Evocative.
i love you friend. and i love this print. and i'm glad you're taking time for rest.
Where have I been? I've missed so many of your lovely posts! Sometimes it's simply hard to keep up with everything. Needle & thread, vintage fabric, some of my favorite things!
Been away too long . . . Love the quote about devotion.
