week 22 and 23...plodding along these last two weeks

have decided that instead of dwelling on the negative, am going to get positive..and try not to worry about things i cannot control. Having said that, it is amazing how once I let go of all the things bothering me, I have had a burst of creativity. So after a slow February..get ready to create with me!

week 22 I put together a quilt with fabric that I'd had for a while...I needed to do something and this was it...
week 22:bold and beautifully simple

I also finished the last of a series of three dinosaurs for eagan - i love cross stitch, and have been doing it since age 13. It was the only craft I ever taught my mother!



week 23: saw me finally quilting my second quilt i ever made, after 8 years or so! it a glorious bright happy stained glass quilt...am thinking of teaching ti in the shop come march/april.



having inspired my crafting friend to try her hand at paper piecing, and after watching the ladies in the lesson, i decided i just had to get my book out from storage and make my own street! started yesterday afternoon, and finished my first house today..this is what my colour palette looks like, and her is the first house, and the start of house number two...in the middle of my street...my house....

not my usual colours, but something i have to do...can picture it in my head, lets hope it works out! x

And that, was week 22 and 23!

love me, and the one eyed dog.
