the Hopeful Child…
Friday, March 20th, 2009There is an abundant amount of positive love and intention stitched right in the seams of every creation in my inventory.
If one were to look over at my sewing table whilst I was working away on one of my latest projects, they would probably only see fabric, hands and a girl at a machine. What one would not see is the love and wonder pouring right into every detail: love for the meaningful work that I do, and wonder about the child who would be donning my latest creation.
The things I think about while sewing are many. I think about how I can create a better product: one that can endure the rough and tumble energy of a child. I wonder what kind of child will be wearing the diapers and wool-agains I Upcycle. I hope that the child will become a green-thinker someday and how my little product is just the thing to start off in. I guess in a way I believe that every thought creates. It’s a line that I’ve heard spoken on the stages of many reggae festivals: “Don’t forget people that every thought creates!” Be it negative or positive, every thought is an electrical event in our brains. Therefore, it produces an energy. (NOTE: I’ve never taken physics. This is just my own take on what I’ve learned in other formats…) Energy has the power to transform thoughts into action. So, in a nutshell, I truly believe that my love and wonder is transmitted into each and every stitch that holds the fabric of my craft together. In (my) theory, the children who are wearing my designs are not only being warmed and nurtured by the clothes on their backs and bottoms, but also by the heartfelt goodness and love that is my intention for these future hopes of our world.
Namaste
