Time for a change!

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, its time for fun!

My dear  ♥ “man of the house” ♥ had been suggesting for a long time, something that I only recently believed would be feasible.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Counting...

Jenn - paint dancing!

Great floor covering!

Moving  my studio from the smallest to the largest room in the house!   This time around (from his suggesting) in my mind it all seemed to make sense, i.e. to relocate everything in the lounge, dining, and guest rooms  would be OK – but would you know it…… it was better than that!  It is FANTASTIC having space for my creative spirit!   More than that…..all the other rooms work much  much better now  and more harmoniously within the new arrangement.

 

Here you will see my long-time friend Jenn during her visit here yesterday Monday 14.12.09, having a P & P day.  Paints, paper, and of course the associated  big mess – just look what wonderful images were created. 

Jenn is a whiz with new techniques – we shared so much …. the new books we both received as “early Xmas presents”, and then poured out all the ideas that would transfer onto paper.    We were thrilled with our productions – Jenn taught me a new technique using credit cards!  Now that’s a mystery, isnt it?  Want to know more? 

Time To Reflect

Nothing beats a good sunset and a nice cuppa tea

Dont you think that sometimes the pace of life gets away from us, who we really are and what is truly important to us?

Racing thoughts and activity seem to have been a “way of life” these couple of weeks – self inflicted though (I must confess).

Newly acquired roles are part of the reason.

Tutoring workshops has taken a larger part of my time lately; believing that preparation is the first step to success, it has been exciting getting samples ready. Taking on a role as Workshop Liaison Officer with ATASDA NSW has created the necessity of being tied to the computer – I can tollerate this deemon if the activity is efficient and good progress is achieved…..well, I am hanging in there hoping that my patience pays off soon.

Trawling through my multitude of photographs that are filed in such a muddled way, I found this!

Only taken a few weeks ago when sitting quietly on my front verandah I recall feeling so peaceful and with a quiet mindfulness about my life. I thought I would like to share this view with you. The scene is as it was – it has not been enhanced by photo software at all.

This is my favourite time of the day – sitting on the front verandah with a good cuppa tea watching the changing light.

Have you had any reflective sunsets lately?

Where I live

An article from one of my Quilting Arts magazines pivoted me into action. This is the result – a patchwork reflection of where I live which was constructed using snippets of fabric from my scrap stash. I liked it so much that I entered this quilt in a calendar competition by the Quilters Guild of NSW Inc.

The process was so enjoyable that I made another, using a photo of a fibre friend’s house – We did a swap. I will post a photo of her house quilt tomorrow. It was quick and fun!
