Leonard Cohen

Wonderful a great artist

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I needed more fabric

Yesterday I deyed some fabric I needed more color and this is the result
now I can start a new project
My stellar challenge is going oke and I am working on storm but my haiku needed the new color
I only need to get my mind at rest there are so many ideas and I want to do to much things at one time and that is not good

Dyslexia a gift ?

Why is dyslexia a gift?
Dyslexic people are visual, multi-dimensional thinkers. We are intuitive and highly creative, and excel at hands-on learning. Because we think in pictures, it is sometimes hard for us to understand letters, numbers, symbols, and written words.
http://www.dyslexia.com/library/rondavis/interview.htm

I just found this and it makes me happy to read it ,I have Dyslexia ,

Little bag

what if the little Crazy quilt becomes a little bag

What if ,,,,,

The world is in disorder

Also my mind

so something simple

to restore the peace

only working with the embellisher and just making stitches for the fun of it

Inspiration

As always the day after I got so much inspiration, I found a little space to get this going.
Green and red , a lot of hand embroidery and now I added free motion embroidery .
Tomorrow I have some time to go on with this project.
Maybe I can let you see more, I have to finish the TAST book it is almost done but this is what I wanted to do first,
The inspiration is here and got to use it before it is gone .
