Mademoiselle Petal

I'd like to introduce my new Etsy collection, Mademoiselle Petal. A feminine, whimsical, but mature, assortment of lovelies. I hope you enjoy!

Oh please, please, please tell me you enjoy!

All of my collections are homespun, with a wide assortment of materials, from yarn and fabric to scrap and junk. Most of the items I make are OOAK (one of a kind), not to be made again. You will also find the occasional antique or vintage item tucked among the shelves.

While the items may come and go, the collections will still grow! Check back for new additions added frequently.

Did you miss my first Etsy collection, Little Monster?

Going with the Flow

The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie is a book of daily meditations that I read most nights in bed before slumber. Reading in bed began as an antidote to insomnia I was suffering from last summer. It worked and I discovered this wonderful book in the process.

Excerpt...

Go with the flow.

Let go of fear and your need to control. Relinquish anxiety. Let it slip away, as you dive into the river of the present moment, the river of your life, your place in the universe.


Stop trying to force the direction. Try not to swim against the current, unless it is necessary for your survival. If you've been clinging to a branch at the riverside, let go.

Let yourself move forward. Let yourself be moved forward.

Avoid the rapids when possible. If you can't, stay relaxed. Staying relaxed can take your safely through fierce currents. If you go under for a moment, allow yourself to surface naturally. You will.

Appreciate the beauty of the scenery, as it is. See things with freshness, with newness. You shall never pass by today's scenery again!

Don't think too hard about things. The flow is meant to be experienced. Within it, care for yourself. You are part of the flow, an important part. Work with the flow. Work within the flow. Thrashing about isn't necessary. Let the flow help you care for yourself. Let it help you set boundaries, make decisions, and get you where you need to be when it is time. You can trust the flow, and your part in it.

Today, I will go with the flow.
