Muse 2008

When shopping...
The Muse is highly tactile...
First comes the visual query...
Pondering
the style...
But the deal is never quite sealed...
Until she tou
ches, caresses and FEELS! :)

(much to the bane of her under
standing escort/cohort...(love you honey))!
On one such adventure...
The Muse found the most luscious suede...
In the softest and most splendid shade...
It took
the Muse's breath away!

So, she bought the fabric...
And wan
dered about on her shopping excursion...
Ever mindful, not pausin
g in diversions...
She eyed some magnificent vintage trims...
Lying haphazardly in an antique shop's bin...





Handmade~lovingly tied, knotted and beaded...
All the pieces came together, as an idea was seeded...
Off to the Sewing Room she did go...
There her needle moved to and fro...
And Voila...
She
loves her oreiller...
It
speaks to her soul :)Muse 2008

Sueded pillow trimmed with grace,
Looks very special in it's place.
I am not as lyrical as you
But I adore your post today of blue.

As charity walked through the aisles oh-so-narrow...

The shops and the stalls and the little carvings of Pharaoh...

The treasures, the specialties, the secrets divine...

Yet one especially
has caught her eye!

'Tis wielded by the Muse! By the Muse!

It must be so!

The blue and the floral and the smooth silk tassels!

The elongated form of a blue suede pillow!

She looks quick, she snatches, she runs home- she stole it!

Stole the blue suede pillow...that was wielded by the Muse.

My head should be on your "oreiller" right about now.

Thank you
Happy Blue Monday

How absolutely stunning. It belongs on a Queen's chaise, on an Empress' divan, by a Goddess' head. You are beyond a Muse my friend. You are the Queen of Muses. :)

You are so very creative. The pillow is gorgeous, such a lovely shade of blue (my second favorite color!). I am a very "touchy" person too when I am out shopping, drives my hubby nuts!

Monday, December 29, 2008 10:28:00 AM EST

Lovely, rich, majestic and a nice decorative piece..

Thanks for your comment.. yeah I loved the process of making the tree ornament..

Monday, December 29, 2008 10:53:00 AM EST

Dear Muse, I'm thrilled today to see
Such loveliness that flowed from Thee,
Or from thay needle aptly placed
To give blue fabric so much grace.

So, sew on Muse, and sew new dreams
From fabric trims in blues and creams,
And share your talents with your fans
Who stretch as far as distant lands.

Happy Blue Monday!

XO,

Sheila... who came up for air and is going back to bed! ;-)

What a beautiful poem and 'oreiller'. If I made somethin' as pretty as this, my granddaughter would scarf it up and spirit it away. She has a thing for pillows!
Have a great day.

Well of course I'm asking for custom colors for my pillow..You sound surprised...LOL LOL....I have no blue you know so that one simply won't work here!

What roses are you speaking of that I need to bring to the world?? enlighten me, please
xo

Monday, December 29, 2008 10:31:00 PM EST

Hello again girl...thanks so much for coming by...I had just finished reading your comment & starting looking thru today's mail....I got a letter from my Aunt Kat in the mail...it was her annual Christmas letter inviting us all to her place for New Years! lol She lives right here in Alabama...use to live in Georgia where she wrote some for the local newpaper..but her heart has always been to write and create...she just won the 2008 Poet Laureate Poetry Chapbook Award with her dream poems, THE NIGHTS, THE DAYS.
She is my dad's baby sister & she comes to town to visit and goes by and picks up my other two aunts (her only living sisters) the oldest being 81..and she brings them here to visit and oh the time we have laughing & remembering the old days when their mama (my sweet Maw Smith)was still alive...time has such a way of robbing us of our physical bodys but it can never take away the memories & love in ones heart....Sorry for going on & on I guess Aunt Kat's letter has put me in a sentimental mood...but anyway you remind me of her in the way you write such beautiful things...I guess that is what I am trying to say....I don't mean to bother you...but thanks again for coming by..

Monday, December 29, 2008 10:51:00 PM EST

pssst...thanks for the top secret rose info...been there..lol
are there some rose things of mine in particular that you are speaking of?? Geez do I have that many..LOLxo

You sound as though you had something in mind..lol

Monday, December 29, 2008 10:56:00 PM EST

Beautiful poem...amazing piece of art. I would absolutely love something like this in my own house. Gorgeous!

Monday, December 29, 2008 10:58:00 PM EST

Well I might start by feeling sad if per chance my poem is bad?
However... say I, your pillow is grand! And I would like to shake the hand... of the person who created it!*winks* Vanna

I love your blue pillow with the beautiful trim; I love your poems; I love everything on this blog. I'm sorry you visited my blog on such a bad day. My blog is not usually unpleasant. laurie

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 12:18:00 AM EST

You are the Queen of the "finds". You have quite an eye for just the right item or maybe I should say you have quite the "feel". Love your combination of suede and the trims. Very creative and lovely.

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 12:18:00 AM EST

I am no longer blue on Monday, but
now enticed by a glamorous Tuesday!
Have a Wonderful Creative Tuesday!
