A Stirring in My Heart

 there’s something new

i want to do

nothing grand

but i don’t yet

understand

but it’s in my heart

where my ideas start

i’ll be patient and wait

to not be in a hurry

but to also not be late..

Inspired

After visiting the blog, Alice and Molly, I was inspired to tackle a small creative project. I am one to buy fabric and have good intentions, but I lose my enthusiasm easily. This seemed to be simple enough and I had fabric that I thought would work well together. Here is my completed pennant banner.

I think that the bobbin on my sewing machine is not threaded right and it was affecting my sewing, so I went with sewing by hand. I know what I would do differently next time.

While working on this I kept whistling the song, His Banner Over Me.. I bet you didn’t know that I like to whistle..Lol!

She is a sweety!

Thank you Grace for the inspiration!

Inspiration Inspires

In the world of blogging and following,it is not hard to become inspired by what I read and see. I applaud all of you and say thank you! Inspiration comes in all forms, from nature, artists, musicians, writer’s etc. A few ladies that I follow have shared their interests in making collages either with material, words and photos. Now that I have time to explore and create, I am sharing my latest attempt in making a collage. I have not done this before  for myself and I must say that it was  fun! I have met two ladies in our neighborhood that are artist and when I visited them, they both had collages displayed in their art rooms. Since  I had a stack of older magazines I started tearing out pages, bought poster-board and off I went..

We stopped by a junk store recently and I came across pieces of fabric that had been sewn together. It looked like someone had been inspired to make a quilt.

I am not sure what I’ll do with these but I am inspired..

Now that this Featherweight is in great running condition, I’m sure I’ll come up with something..
