A small beginning

 I have a small start on the new landscape to show you.  I will be taking some creative liberties with this one and making some additions but you'll just have to wait and see what they are.  For that matter, even *I* will have to wait and see what they are!!  

 Today's quote is from Amy Carmichael..."You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving"

    1. I think many projects end up speaking to us and trying to force them to go in a direction they don't want to go is generally a lesson in frustration.

  2. Nice start with an interesting barn.
    The red ticking bags are a great idea.

    1. I think it was the red ticking that caught my eye too - so simple and yet so elegant. Nice suggestions for both filling and decorating them too.

  3. Oh Joy! The latest barn is on it's way. Go with your flow as that's been the best way so far. I can hardly wait to see the first additions.

    1. Going with the flow isn't always so 'flow-y' - I spend a lot of time contemplating what to do next and then changing my mind. I do have a plan, such as it is!

    1. Thanks Christine - I'm looking forward to it too. I have an idea in my head but trying to translate it into fact is always a bit of a challenge.

  6. Lovely start here and I’ll tell you what else is lovely...that gorgeous afghan of yours. I’ve just read your last three posts and followed many of the links, took photos of several projects and got to see what’s Christmasy at your house. Time I got up now.😀

    1. The scale is a bit too large but I think I can change it enough to make it work....fingers crossed!

  9. I haven't made it in here in over a week?!? It's been one of those weeks... So glad to see the beginnings of your new barn and landscape quilt. I'm going to enjoy instantly catching up with the progress you've made on it this week. :)

    1. I don't think there's any sort of 'blog reading' police Becki - so never worry about missing any of my mumblings!

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
