Necessity Leads to Inspiration!


Ever felt backed into a corner and don't know what to do? And there are limits with what you can have. Ninety percent of the time I love when this happens barring no earth shattering situations.  There is a creative adrenaline rush knowing that you need to come up with a answer. And most of the time there is a creative resolution. And yes, there are those times when we just need to throw in the towel!


A few years back when finally having the opportunity to have a sewing room--I wanted to do it right while having a comfortable place for my son to come home to. It was a slight adjustment that his manly room was becoming my sewing room but I still wanted his tall body to be "snug as a bug" in my dream sewing room.


The dilemma- what kind of bed, where 
to put it and would he fit in it?

This is when creative inspiration was needed!


Here is what we came up with!

Still Working on.. & Still Laughing at..



Lets just say what I did not do over the weekend, 
and that is SEW! 
However I did get to trace, cut, fold & glue.
So on a positive note I am moving ahead on my WIP!







Thought I would share a good laugh!


Do you read "The Bitchy Stitcher"?
IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BLOGS
If you are a blogoholic you are aware that many quilt along's, parties, etc. use the first letter of each word so it can fit into the cramped space of blog pages. 
Well the Bitchy Stitcher has created a new movement of quilting

For a good laugh-hop on over!

I Got Mail!


Love getting mail, 
especially when it is  

"Fiber Art"!

Our guild recently had a lecture and wonderful workshop with Terry Kramzar. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Terry's travel adventures and learning the process that Terry discovered while creating her amazing quilts. With life's interruptions--I am still in the process of completing our workshop piece.




Over the weekend I received this incredible piece of Art in the mail. It is a Fiber Art post card from Terry. We started to correspond a few years back and finally our meeting came full circle. Words can not describe how much I treasure this piece that Terry made.




Don't you just love the towns name?




Today I was mailing off my two Giveaway packages.
These stamps were a gift from my family.

Aren't they Fun?
