There's been some progress on the latest landscape as you can see from this...
Please excuse the basting threads
(forgot to take a photo before I added them)
I need to keep busy creating to take my mind off the state of the world. Sometimes even immersing myself with fabric, needles and threads isn't enough.
- THIS looks like a fun project and a great use for an old book.
- I don't know how many of you were following my mumblings a couple of years ago when I cross stitched a series of Christmas ornaments, but it's been suggested that I link once again to the pattern designer who lives in the Ukraine. We need to support artists there if we can, so I can recommend THIS shop. If you don't see anything there you like, expand your search for other Ukrainian designers. If you want to see the ornaments I made, check the 'cross stitch' label in my sidebar.
- There are lots of cute quilt block ideas HERE.
Today's quote is from Jimmy Carter..."A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity"
Jimmy Carter always talked a lot of sense. (And I, too, am finding it difficult to turn my mind away from the evil of the world long enough to string words together or accomplish anything but the most necessary tasks. But I'm trying!)
ReplyDeleteI think all we can do is try our best to take our minds off what's happening. Sadly that doesn't seem to work for me when I'm trying to sleep.
