Play it as it lays〰〰〰

It may sound a bit laissez-faire, but it’s better to let it flow. 

Life's grand design is a simple draping hack.

There is little joy in forcing a thread into a role it was never meant for. I'm not into 'silk purses out of sow's ears'. I do have biodegradable buttons from sea-shells, but my apparels are made of pure eco-certified silk. Yet I might play things by the ear’.

Here's what I'm made of 〰〰〰

A mix of Latvian wildflowers, cool Baltic sea-breeze, scraps of skyscrapers and local wisdom spanning millennia.

The true craft is to work with what's at hand. We're all just weavers of our own destinies! So I weave age-old techniques into the textile of breezy coolness. Shed no tears for sapphire caves, when your home is by the amber coast! 

I go with the (work)flow and ride the currents of emails, like the rest. Yet every now and then, I drift away into little mental vacations and find myself by the beach with a spinning rod. Strolling through a cactus-leather forest, steering my boat into the azure-knits. I cast the line into the foggy vastness and leisurely crochet my cufflinks. The bait completely slips my mind. Sometimes, it's the fishing fun that beats the catch. 

I took a dreamy swim right before I caught a mermaidcore jumper, embellished with hacking silk scales. It's a very Pisces thing to say, but you simply can't squeeze the fish out of the water. I mean, the jumper... It will come to you. Go with the flow, release the fixation and…  Oh, look, the float-bait is twitching! 

Keep 'threading the needle', but loosen your grip on every stitch of your existence, is what I'm saying. Life's fabric throws unexpected waves, and that's when you learn to surf. 

This voyage is all about smooth weaving, sans the frantic rush towards some distant shore. 

That's enough 'yarn spinning’ for today. 

If it fits it sits, and if not – play it as it lays. 

Bon Voyage〰〰
