A corner of my own- Uta Sews!

I can actually sew! A little discovery I made a few years ago and I really like it. 

As this is pretty much something I intend to pursue. How far, only God knows. But I figure it should have its own space as I may start doing projects weekly, hence the creation of  the blog "Uta Sews".( I currently have a page on http://www.burdastyle.com/profiles/gtangel you can see some of the things I started off with and have recently done as well).

I still consider myself a novice, but the ideas and creativity that flows through my mind warrant the intermediate level. No doubt I possess some skills but need to discover more and how far I could go. So here’s to a summer of discovery. Can I really bring those ideas and images in my head to life, I think so.

In Photo: I made this beautiful vintage looking circle skirt. More pics will be posted on my sewing blog

With no further or do. I invite you to follow me on my sewing blog if you are interested in seeing where this takes me and how it grows over the next year of 30.

HOPE Wednesday!- Start writing it down, again!

It's not every day you feel like pursuing your dreams and goals you set for yourself. Distractions, delays, disappointments and all that are present in the air. It's as if it comes with the territory. You know, big dreams, much adversity. Get it.

That's when I feel we are truly tested. Tested on our willingness to endure and the substance of our perseverance. I mean, let the truth be told that anything we will ever strive for that defies what our circumstances may reflect, will require us to work overtime, believe over time and endure overtime.

It's ultimately the dream, vision, goal,  the end in mind, that keeps us doing what we do. So how then do we deal with those times when our activity is low and we assume no progress is being made. Can I say this; being busy does not always mean you are productive. In other words, low activity does not equal no productivity.

Write it down! Add pictures, make a plan,review your goals, draft a sketch, whatever visual you have. Make it plain!

We need to start writing it down again. What does that mean? Writing down those plans, dreams, visions... those things you are working towards and striving for. You need a reminder when you feel hopeless.

 Don't lose sight, literally of the great things ahead of you.

Start writing, pursuing, doing and see those dreams come to life one day at a time.

Your hope (What you truly believe will happen) will fuel you to pick up momentum again.

Much love

Happy Monday! - Words + Action = Accomplishment

June 9, 2014

Monday’s are new beginning days. We recharge on the weekends to progress and conquer during the week ahead.For the most part we should right?

Don’t you think? Okay, maybe not for some. But I think we all should look at Monday’s differently now. Not the day we hope would be a longer weekend but the day we get to start the week afresh and put some things into practice. You know that saying "it’s not how you start it's how you end". I feel often times the start is critical to too. Becomes if you never start you would never know the outcome.

So take charge today. It’s still early, the day is not over yet. Change/do one thing today that can impact the rest of your week. Whether it’s taking a walk, taking the bus, smiling more, finishing that project from last week, watching your favorite program, cooking a meal, reading a magazine or book, going for a run, calling a friend, cleaning your closet, getting an early night’s rest, watering the plants, or simply doing nothing at all when you get in after work today. Whichever it is for you, do it!

God Bless

June is here!

Hello hello hello,

So its obvious that the past month went by without no pause button to remind me that I started something here that needs to continue.

Ooh how I have not forgotten.( My computer is on the slower side so its not a motivating factor to blog)

Anywho.... things have been great, ups and downs and all that stuff. Learning is continuous, you are never there, or at least when you think you are there something else shocks you, you know what I mean.

I feel a tinge of excitement as June started. Not that May was not a good month. It sure was. May sort of brought things in motion for the 30's perspective. I picked up my sewing again and I took a trip. Not that I left sewing aside.

The creative juices were flowing like never before and I finished a project ( Skirt for a friend) I started last year. YESSS!! Accomplishments no matter how tiny they are still brings me great pleasure. Most of all I felt like I can move on because this unfinished project was blocking my flow.

Be encouraged:Finish things you start! 

May was more of a breakthrough month and I intend to keep those juices flowing now that we are in June.

So, to the creative flow of June, let us create that which was never created before or done by ME!


Here is a photo from my weekend trip.( The city of Ottawa just a train ride away, yet it felt like I had transcended the walls of Europe, more so the walls of my perspective on what my limits were.....which in fact are limitless) :) Thanks to an amazing travel buddy too.

God bless, until next time
