EXPLORED: Simplicity is indeed often the sign of truth and a criterion of beauty. -Mahlon Hoagland (Toward the Habit of Truth)

On many occasions, the best things in life are the most simple ones. And they're normally free of charge!
A menudo, lo mejor en la vida es lo más simple. ¡Y además suele ser gratis!
Is it me or what? Things that land in the realm of simplicity are supposed to be simple! Right? Take today’s assignment for example. It was SUPPOSED to be simple. I wanted to do a simple portrait using minimal tools. Yea, well, after a moment of mild frustration (y’all remember Yosemite Sam – the cartoon character when he would get frustrated? That dude was straight cussin’ in the cartoons!); I did my Yosemite Sam impersonation today trying to pull off this assignment.
Simplicity is complicated. So many things have to be in alignment for simple to happen. But when it does [get in alignment] oh!, what a wonderful thing. I think those old cats had the right I idea (I’m thinking about the ones in the karate movies I used to watch) where they say something like, “one must be at peace with one’s self”. My simplicity is compounded and becomes complex when I am not in alignment with me. Am I doing purpose? Where is my dream? How many excuses have I made or who else will I blame because I don’t have peace. Einstein said something like this: genius is making simple that which is complex [my paraphrase]. I want to be a genius!
Since I’m complicated and your complicated let us work toward simplicity. Here it is – the key: life is going to happen – good or bad – without any effort on our part. So let it do what it do. As for me and my house, we gone make memories, cherish the moments and keep it [uh] simple.

Tu non sai
come spunta una gemma
a primavera, e come un fiore
parla a un altro fiore
e come un sospiro
è udito dalle stelle.
E poi ancora il silenzio
e la vertigine dei pensieri,
e poi nessun pensiero
nella lunga notte,
ma solo gioia
pienezza di gioia
d'abbracciare la terra intera;
e di pregare e cantare
ma dentro, in silenzio.
David Maria Turoldo
I finished a version of Simplicity's 4589--which I adore! I used a vintage knit fabric, and the only reason i edged the hems was b/c the pattern is so dang short. I didn't want to lose any length on a hem. And, in the end, I like the way it looks much better.

My summery little black dress. Love the pattern - the instructions were straightforward (shocking for a Simplicity pattern!) and it's really wearable. The little details at the sleeve and waist really make the dress.

Sewed this for my trip to Japan as is warm there, & I don't have many summer tops. Not sure about this one..makes me look very broad, though I'm sure the sleeves will settle down!?

I edited this shot using Kim Klassen's texture "Awaken" for an assignment in an e-class "Beyond Layers" class by Kim Klassen. I was late getting started into the class so I kinda combined several of the classes to create this image. I am enjoying and learning so much in this class. In this assignment I was to create an image depicting six words about myself. I chose "The Simplest Things Make Me Happy" for several reasons.
1. I do love the simple things in life.
2. I love the simple things in nature like these berries.
3. I get so much joy when I learn to do something simple like adding words and texture to an image.

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.
