Hello Steemit,

Today for Needlework Monday hosted by @crosheille and @cristalize, I'm showing off some embroidered bliss.

The back of my sweater had a saying: "Find Your Bliss."

I don't like that saying. I believe that words are magic and what you always put out to the universe, you always get back. I don't want to live constantly looking for my bliss. I want to LIVE my bliss. Its like my car keys, I don't want to have to always FIND them, I want to USE them.

So I changed the words, to LIVE YOUR BLISS.

I'm not very worried about the fact that you can kinda see the word find under my bliss. The ink will eventually fade and the only things left worthy on the sweater will be my stitches. Cheap sweaters are like that, they aren't really meant to last for long lengths of time. I find it though, that a little needle and thread makes them last a LOT longer. Who wants to get rid of something they spent hours coloring with a needle? Old sweaters make the best sleepwear.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I have a very exciting week. I will be judging a writing contest (reading the last of the entries today), getting into some freewrite magic, AND launching my Children's Literacy Advocates Program on STEEMIT!!

Hope you have a wonderful week as well.

I love this! I understand what you mean about living your bliss vs. finding it. I really like the upgrade you did on your shirt! Pink is one of my favorite colors ! 😃 Thanks for sharing this week!

Thanks for commenting. I’m really enjoying the excuse to play with my hooks and needles.

Have you seen the Children’s Book Give-Away on my blog? The book I’m giving away this week is for kids 0-4 📖📚.

Absolutely!! No I haven’t seen it. I’ll try my best to get over there and check it out today!! 😉👍🏽 Thanks for the heads up!

This is really adorable, @metzli! I love that you are willing to personalize your clothing to make it the way you want it!! Happy #NeedlworkMonday!

Thank you! 🦋

You are so creative. I agree, sweatshirts are very comfy when broken in and worn down. They just have that feeling of...(Bliss). Then if they get to the point of getting holes, turn it into a throw pillow. :-)

Thank you for visiting ❤️

I can def see this sweater as a pillow.

:-)

Hello Metzli,
Nice post! I like "Live Your Bliss".

Wow! Me seems, pink color has revived your sweater. I've always liked the combination of pink and gray colors

I like your idea, good to live your bliss in the here and now!
