Imperfect

The imperfections



found in all things handmade



are the makers mark,



the joyous details,



the things I run my fingers across and linger on



with wonder and admiration

    Why when I find that soooo easy to say about anyone elses creations (and mean it and truly believe it too!) am I sooo hard on myself and what I make?...its a question that keeps coming up for me, think I need to start embracing my own inperfections! :D

    Imperfect is perfect. Not to be cheesy, but I'm just sayin'. The "imperfections" bring so much character and identity to a life. Thanks for sharing the beauty in your home and life!

    i appreciate reading your thoughts here on imperfectly perfect handmade! i collect vintage hand embroidered linens and often go over the stitches appreciating most of all when you can see they went a bit differently here and a bit off there... the signs of life and of human hands touching each stitch to create something so beautiful to create home is priceless.

    Beautiful post. It's the imperfections of handmade that make each item a really unique creation - a true labor of love.

    "the things I run my fingers across and linger on"
    This is beautiful Amy.
    It is ironic how caught up in perfection we can get when it is those perfect imperfections in things and people that grab and hold onto our hearts.

    Thanks for you comment on my post Amy and for the inspiration from this post. Yes, it's funny which moments we remember from childhood. I can look back on that moment and see that at 6 I was just so incredibly "me" already....drawn to imperfection, full of empathy, and a little indecisive...tehehe.

    Vancouver IS an amazing city to live in. Come on up! I'll have a pot of tea ready for you. :)
