Focus on Life - Week 12: Observe the Curve

For Week 12 of
Sally's prompt was:
 
 
Observe the Curve
 
"In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves."
~Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
 
"We move, live and love in curves. Arms, legs and bodies curve to propel us into the life around us. Branches of trees curve to embrace the breeze. Letters curve and form words. Curves can keep things apart, hold things together or create a path. This week take a moment to focus on all the different kinds of curves that surround you everyday?
 
And there were indeed curves that surround me every day.
 
From the earring wires I create each day,
 
 
 
 
to the pottery dish sitting on my desk that was
skillfully crafted by my friend Kathy,
 
 
 
 
To the shadows of light that are cast,

On the perfect curves of the hand carved Lucets my brother so lovingly made for me.

Each week these challenges open up my mind, helping to slow the pace so I can
Observe the Curves of Life!

Please join the other participants over at
and see what Curves they have Observed!
 
 
Until Next Time,
 
Peace, Love and Observing the Curves!

***Side Note***

Since people were curious as to what a Lucet (Knitting Fork) is and what it's used for, I thought I'd point you in the direction of
Rad Megan who sells them on Etsy.

I have one of her knitting forks.
I got it to use when I travel because I don't want to lose or harm the ones my brother custom made for me.

Rad Megan also has a blog and a you tube video where you can read about them, see the necklace tutorial she has posted using them and watch the video where she shows two different methods of
braiding cord with them.

Here's the Link:

The You Tube Video is about 
half way down on her post.

Enjoy!!
