Hubby had this week off and to end a great and very productive week we decided to do the second half of the garage roof. Yay! Only problem is I now feel totally wiped out. Probably from being out in the sun all day and climbing on and off the top of his very tall 4 wheel drive (We didn't have a good enough ladder and it was wider than scaffolding anyway). So thinking about what to blog about has been a bit tough. The photo for today is supposed to be of eyes and trying to work out what to take a picture of and what to write about, hasn't been so simple. I was thinking through everything I've been doing this week and when I last did some stitching so I could tell you about the eyes in the needles. I couldn't think of anything with the eyes of needles, but I did remember that I went to craft on Wednesday and was actually working on the eyes of the Ragdolls. I have only done part of the eyes on one of the dolls, but hopefully when they're done they'll look good. I did a couple of different styles to test which would look best and the eyes and face I'm in the middle of were my favourite. It's a big decision, how to create the right face. There are endless possibilities and only a few of them could work. In the case of real people, I don't know how God has the patience to design every single one of us differently. He is Amazing! I am not.
But thinking of eyes and differences, have you ever tried people watching. I love people watching, something my sister (and apparently cousin) also enjoys doing. I wonder about how each person is similar or different to their families and whether they ever think about me and how I might be similar to mine. I often think about what got them to the place I see them. Whether they were on the way to or from somewhere in particular or just wasting time. I'm constantly reminded of the fact that there are more people on this earth than just me and those around me. The lives and stories of each of the people are so complex that I can't even begin to imagine them all. But somehow and for some reason we were in the same place, doing the same (or similar) thing at the same time. Isn't it great! Once I went to Australia's Wonderland and met a girl who's Grandparents were my Great Uncle and Aunty! That's fun!! I will never forget that. We were both there on school excursions from different schools, in opposite directions from the park. We "just happened" to be waiting in the same line for the same ride and decided to say hi to each other. I just love it when that sort of situation happens. Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever bumped into someone you are related to, by accident?
But anyway, I've been trying to get the face on the dolls right and it's not simple. So let me know what you think and hopefully they'll be done soon. Thanks for reading.
