Today was a day of play for me- which was so good. My wonderful friend, Shimelle gave me a sewing machine- so today I set to work on figuring out what the heck to do with it. I thought of some things….
I made an apron for Jon, the chef of the family, from my Simple Sewing with a French Twist. I also made the page you see above using bits of scrapbooking material that I collected from the wonderful people that I met at Scrapbowl using what I learned in Shimelle’s Paper Patchwork class. Twas much of the fun.
I played today- and I created the page above to remind me- that, for me, creativity begins with play and that even if I have no idea what I am going for… if I just play- I will most likely have fun and like what I end up making.
So here’s to a day of play. Woohoo!

I hadn’t checked in for a few days, and am glad you are back – thought maybe you were just gone!
Your writing and pictures and art are inspiring.
