BREATHING MORE FREELY

Just when I think I can't possibly take ANOTHER gray day....

And I get sick of trying so hard to see something good in confused seagulls on a farm

Look what happens....

                                                        9:00 AM - Sunshine daydream?

And it lasts all day....

                                                          4:00 PM - No wind blowing!

                                               The sun was gone by the next morning, but....

It was time for a different present.

According to some, the deer reminds us to be gentle with others and self.

Ahhh.......with gratitude, I am breathing more freely...

UNCAGE COLOR!

On Friday, I took my mom up to Anacortes, WA for a day trip. In the window of the yarn shop was a big sign that said "UNCAGE YOUR COLOR". I love that!!!! That message made me feel happy, hopeful, and eager to do as it suggested!!! Color? Hmmm... I started to notice the colors that are predominant in my day to day life.... driving here and there (or passengering with fifteen year old Andrew!). What did I notice?

GREEN GREEN GREEN

                                                                         GREEN grass

                                                              GREEN moss and grass

EverGREENs everywhere

                                                                    GREEN rhodies 

And then there is GRAY - this is often the color of the sky...for months....

and months

Obviously, there is a need for strategic infiltration of color!

Ahhhhhhhh!

After these observations, I felt inspired to make a "little". A litle quilt measuring 10X10 inches. I stiched a bird cage with the door open of course, embroidered "uncage color" all around the cage. And then added Miss Colorita - a joyfully colorful bird.





 Uncaged Color

While I was thinking about uncaging, why not uncage my inner artist and motivate to open my store on Etsy?! Sooo...drum roll please...four quilts are for sale!!!!!!
