Off colour

I haven't been feeling well all week.  Started last weekend when I felt unusually tired and then my throat started to hurt.  I thought it was just my cold returning but as the week went on it didn't get any better so this morning I went to the Doctor and found out that I have a throat infection.  She was like 'Are you sure you haven't been feeling sick?'  I'm like 'maybe'.  So I thought back and realised that I haven't been the best but kept on going.  Isn't that so womanlike?  Never stop; just keep doing things.  I'm dosed up on antibiotics so expect to feel better shortly.

Show and tell..

Received a lovely email from Chrissie today and she sent me this photo of a bag she made:

Isn't it great? I especially love the way she's combined lots of different techniques including cross stitch.  I love scrappy projects because they allow you to do just that as well as include your favourite fabrics. Purple is one of my favourite colours so I love the purple-y colours she's used.

Inspiration..

What inspires you?  I was in the Patchwork shop this morning (after the Doctor) and they were putting out some beautiful Moda fabrics which had just arrived.  I immediately started thinking about what I could make with them.  Fabrics are a great source of inspiration. When I got home the postman had just delivered my new Country Threads magazine which is full of beautiful projects.  When I look at the projects I start to think about what I would have done differently or what I would add to it, etc..  Magazines are another source of inspiration. I could probably go on and on and name lots of different sources of inspiration but I think the important thing is to have fun and enjoy what you are doing. Nothing is more satisfying than making something yourself.

Until next time
