Today's Quote

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

Beattie, Melody

crochet flowers

This heat wave seems like it will never end!  It's been so hot lately that I haven't felt like doing much crafting.  Mostly I have been hanging out, reading my magazine articles (my favorite possession!) and churning out mosamies on my squeezing machine (another favorite possession)  :).

But I did manage to blow the dust off the crochet hook long enough to make up some flower ring decorations/ornaments.  Last winter when I did the "flowers for little lamps “ while supervising girls at recycling class. I received some requests to make flowers for appliqué for kids  dresses etc.  

Flowers are measured around a 3"in diameter .  They also can be strung together to make a bunting, or connected vertically to make a wall hanging. 

Hope everyone is staying cool!

Pattern Writing

Pattern writing usually happens on 2^nd Saturdays while the kids are at school or Sunday nights after kids go to bed. Occasionally, if I get a burst of energy, I might write at another time. I try to really only do the tasks when I feel like doing them. If ifeel designing, I try to let myself do it… I don’t want to pass up inspiration when it hits. I don’t always feel like pattern writing, but often when I get into it…I get into it.

I just found out that my big news that involves a village trip is probably going to include visit our fields of wheat crops with my parents.
