"There is a depth of truth, this depth of being that wants itself known, felt, expressed, met. It makes you want to soar, to fly on eagle wings, to master your own dreams, to find true freedom. To create a masterpiece of life. Take all the pieces of life and create a new quilt. One that shines with love and light."

Creative Ideas

My intent of this blog spot was to show and talk about my crafts and art, and somehow I haven't done that yet.

Everyday I am working on something creative.  At this time I am making a Christmas quilt and tree skirt and tree ornaments.

 These things I am making for myself--  I was living and traveling in an RV but now I'm in a bigger place so can have a bigger Christmas tree.  It will be fun!     
Most of everything I've ever made in my life I have given away as gifts and that is what crafting is all about.  The joy in making and giving something special to family and friends.

Another thing I've been able to do is hang some of my watercolors.  I have a big stack of paintings and hanging some in each room has made me happy for as I look at them I can recreate the joy I had when painting them and realize anew that at the time God's spirit was being recreated through me.
Over my years I have been shown that creating is a form of therapy " When life goes to pieces make Quilts",
and that is what I have done, and God's hand has guided me in every step, in all forms of crafts.

 These are just a few of the many quilts I have made and all have given me such joy to make.  I feel very grateful for the ability given  me to create these gifts and any happiness they have brought to others.

Below are some of the creative ideas from one of my grandsons and one of my great grandsons.
