Welcome To My Blog

Welcome to my blog.   I am new at this but after reading Blogging for Bliss and several (and I do mean a lot) of blogs, I thought this was the best venue for me to begin my journey on the internet. 
Life for me is a series of adventures, even in the everyday, ordinariness of life.  Having a picnic lunch and watching a boat gently sail by is soul renewing.  Watching the seasons change brings me both energy and and contentment.  I have to say that fall is my favorite time of year.   The colors are spectacular, the air has a snap to it and, of course, there is football...and I do love my Minnesota   Vikings, even though I haven't lived there for years. 

I can lose track of time when I create fabric art and  experiment with new different techniques.   This is a recent round robin of which I was a part.  Each person created a scene, then the next person used that scene to create it in another season.   I used raw edge applique for this and found that I really enjoyed the freedom of not turning edges.   

I love taking pictures of things that strike me as unique like this chandelier which was hanging in a shop in New Orleans.

 

Or this picture of one of the Waterfalls that were put up around New York City.






Now that September is here, though, I guess it's time to think about the holiday season and gifts.   Instead of last minute gift buying, I hope to be able to make something for everyone on my list and purchase only those gifts which really resonate with me as something the receiver would truly enjoy.   I have lots of ideas, now I need to really settle on which ones I want to make and get busy.  I'll let you know next time some of the ideas I am thinking about.   

Thanks for stopping by....drop in again.
