Calculator cover

It has been a while since I have written in this blog, but a side effect of the medication I am on, causes "emotional blunting" at the moment and this is affecting my creative side.

On a more positive note, I encouraged my daughter to design a calculator cover for Casio. Her entry is "G-man". Please view it and vote for it. She did a great job.

She also made me do one, so here is mine. I pieced together some polyester scraps, and then did some free motion zigzag to create the circles. Fun, Fun, Fun.

Where to next?

Been away camping and the New Zealand bush always manages to help me re-focus and provide refreshment for my heart, and eases away the pain.


I managed about 40 A4 quilts in the past year. I have learned so much, but for 2009, have been thinking about another approach.

So, my theme for the next few months will be happiness, and will be making art around this theme. Perhaps more small quilts, maybe Trading Cards, undecided yet. Who knows? Just plenty of "What if..."

If you had a symbol for happiness, what would it be?

A feather representing your warm snuggly bed?

A musical instrument whose music soothes your soul?

Or just your cat's purr, knowing you and the cat are content?

Fabric scraps just waiting to be used in another new way?



At the moment, it is a feather for me, my feather bed, so soft, blissful, but as sleep seems so elusive, and I would just love to sleep for more than 4 hours, and just snuggle in the mornings, and not rise until after midday. Oh such simple pleasures.

Have fun, and don't forget to let me know what your happiness symbols are.
