Positivity Mandala

This is the Positivity Mandala by the incredibly talented Lucy from Attic24. Her designs and use of color are sublime and so incredibly well-written and easy to understand! I am IN LOVE with this design and already have plans to make more. In fact, I have two on request from my kids.

Mandala excitement

I LOVE mandalas! I love crocheted mandalas, drawn and painted mandalas. I love mandalas of all types. They're peaceful and beautiful and they have mean spiritual meaning.

A mandala represents wholeness, a cosmic diagram reminding us of our relation to infinity, extending beyond and within our bodies and minds.

The mandala appears to us in all aspects of life, the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and more obviously the circles of life encompassing friends, family and communities.

Borrowed from the Spiritual Awakening blog.

So yeah, I have a thing for Mandalas. 

I crocheted this one in July of 2016. This one is the Dream Catcher Mandala from The Loopy Stitch

This beauty is called The Positivity Mandala from Lucy at Attic24 I am completely and utterly IN LOVE with this Mandala! The above picture is Lucy's but I am DEFINITELY making my own this weekend! In fact, I am starting it this evening and will be posting about it soon! 

Tulips

My beautiful pale pink tulips my husband and children gave me for Mother's Day. They're SO PRETTY!

May the Fourth Be With You

As avid Star Wars fans we had to watch something relating to the series this evening. We all wore Star Wars t-shirts today then watched The Empire Strikes this evening. These movies are timeless and it means a lot to my husband and I to share this fandom that we grew up on with our children.
