1.2.09

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.

Hi Ruth,
What aninteresting question. My symbol for happiness would be a book, I think. Fabric scraps would also do very well. Or a picture of the 3 blond heads of my children. A small drawing my oldest made for me when I was mad at him...
This could become a series of ATCs? Shall we swap one when they are finished?
Best wishes,
Linda
