Make it Happen

My head is always full of ideas. It seems as though I'm never at a loss for great ideas. Implementing those ideas is what I have a problem with. I don't know why. I suppose it's the procrastinator in me. I'm a great one for putting things off until tomorrow (or next week, next month, etc...) But great ideas are only good if you actually make them happen. Guess I need to work on that part.

Last week I started Mary Ann Moss's new e-course called SEWN (see previous post). 

We worked on creating patterns, which we will later turn into fabulous creations! It's rather fun - kind of like doodling. Here are a few I created using my ipad and the Procreate app:

Everything is Extraordinary

Today, as I was sitting in my living room working on my computer (with my two sweet grand-beagles sleeping at my side) the dancing flame of the lit candle across the room caught my eye. I became so mesmerized by it's flickering through the mercury glass holder that I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Unfortunately all I had within arm's reach to capture the moment was my phone, which has a less than desirable camera. But after working with the image in Photoshop and applying a few Kim Klassen texture layers in an attempt to camouflage the poor quality of the photograph, I kind of like the end result. And the quotation sums it all up perfectly!
