Getting Creative

My task this week is to talk about when I first fell in love with creating. For me it started with my mother and her love of sewing. She is such a beautiful seamstress and over the years has made everything from quilts, to dolls clothes to overly complicated Issey Miyake shirts (for me). She [...]

Imperfection

Lately I’ve been pondering my attraction to things that are flawed. I have a diamond in a ring with a giant flaw that I feel like I have to justify to any jeweller that ever looks at it. I like dog-eared books, odd numbers and the idea behind rug makers purposefully tying one knot in [...]

How Do You Store Your Fabric?

My fabric has been stuffed in a Cathcart Allied moving box since we came from Atlanta so this has been a quandary of  mine for quite a few months now.  I’m appealing to you for your help – how should I store my fabric? I am not only aiming this question at my fellow fabric [...]

A Lofty Goal to Accomplish

Writing and why I keep a blog

  Most of you know I’m returning part time to university this year. In preparation I’m taking what’s called a Study Link course in Writing for University, just to get my head back into academic thinking and writing.

Overcoming an Obstacle

The challenge this week is to write about an obstacle that I overcame. This has been a tough topic for me… why is that? To say I have had a charmed existence may be an exaggeration but I don’t have a tale of hardship either. And then it hit me, what has been my biggest [...]

Quilting: A fine example of chaos theory

I have long held the theory that quilting is actually chaos theory in action. A small error in measuring or in my case in calculating yardage can result in a completely unexpected outcome. Maybe not of the magnitude of a cyclone caused by butterfly wings but try telling that to the quilter. Here is what [...]

From Little Things Big Things Grow

So a new day is dawning my blog world. I have occupied this space for over 2 years now with no other reason than to find inspiration. I read an article somewhere that recommended keeping a blog for just that reason. It would have been so easy to scoff at that advice but instead I [...]

Farewell 2009

As the sun sets I just wanted to say farewell to 2009. I’m not a fan of New Year’s day for a reason that I cannot explain. It’s the same aversion I have to the first page of a book but that doesn’t stop me reading ( I think I may have blogged about this [...]

Struggling for Inspiration

My darling husband kindly reminded me that it has been 3 WEEKS since my last post. I’m not sure why I’m not very inspired at present. After all the sun is shining and flowers are emerging in our garden. I have been busy though, navigating a new OS and have just embarked on an online [...]
