My Own Unique Brand of Magic
“Art is subjective. Creating to be the best is a waste of energy. Instead, create to connect to the people who need you, because they are out there. Create in your own way, because there is no right way. Take the pressure off and focus on your own unique brand of magic.” —Amie McNee, We Need Your Art
Family photo at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens the night before Thanksgiving. (A beautiful tradition to see the holiday lights, walking through the garden, the four of us, together.)
Unfinished knitting projects found at the thrift shop. (I really wish I could knit well enough to complete that little hat.)
La Petite buttons, a seam ripper (for the inevitable mistakes and mishaps), and sewing hoop (for embroidery).
Rita’s Italian Ice trailer (Parked for the season).
Persimmons and pottery at Be Just in Charlottesville. (The owner was gracious and allowed me to take a few photographs in the gorgeous shop.)
Shirt buttons (to replace lost buttons on collars, fronts, and sleeves), a Dritz tracing wheel (for transferring patterns to sew clothes), and a tiny crochet hook (for repairing snags in knitted clothes).
