New Prayer Flag Finished

Satya - a commitment to truth in our thoughts as well as our speech;  being honest with ourselves and others.  It does not take precedence over ahimsa (non-violence) so being honest or truthful with the intention of being hurtful is wrong.  Ahimsa, the precept of compassion, comes first.  (satya is the second of the yamas as set forth by Patanjali)

Unbleached muslin, beads, various stitches, appliqued leaves.

 I participate in two reading challenges a year on my book blog:  the Once Upon a Time Challenge in the spring and R.I.P. in September & October.   Once Upon a Time is fairy tale, fantasy, folklore, and myth; R.I.P. is gothic, scary, witches, vampires, mansions, murder, or anything suitably Halloween-y.  These challenges provide the perfect opportunity to indulge oneself, and I do.  

If you like to read and enjoy fantasy, fairy tales, etc. check out the Once Upon a Time Challenge.  A lot of the books are fairy tale re-tellings and many are written for young adults, but some of these authors are just good, not matter how old or young you are.  

I'm tired of writing my return address, so I've ordered return address stickers from Moo Cards.  I have some "business" cards that I ordered a couple of years ago, but always forget that I have them.  Oh, yes, and even before that, I had mini cards made from my photos.  Making the cards/stickers is fun, and I always get compliments (when I remember to use them).  This is my first time with the stickers, but I'm looking forward to using them!
