A Creative What?????

So...we are sitting on the ferry to Vancouver this morning and I am calmly reading a quilting magazine, like any other good traveling quilter does. The calm part doesn't last long and suddenly I'm in the throws of quilterly excitement as ideas start bouncing around my brain...Ah!!! Yes!!! That's It!!! My husband looks over at me in and says "It sounds like you are having an orgasm!!" I just about fell off my seat laughing....yes, yes, yes I manage to gasp I'm having a "Creative Orgasm"!! Joy just sort of bubbled over after that.......I needed that belly laugh, and a "Creative Ogasm" on top of it. YES! YES! Good thing that happened before we got out of the car....I might just have made a spectacle of myself.

Now, I'm just in the right frame of mind to teach my "Creating Large Working Small" worshop.



Drinking in Vancouver's Beauty did me a world of good as well. 

I'm looking forward to spending the weekend with Vancouver's Modern Quilt Guild....I'll keep you posted.

Just Start Slicing

Let's just start.....when I'm coming up empty in the creativity department, sometimes It just helps to do something, anything!! The doing seems to set something in motion. So, in a moment of craziness I started slicing up some perfectly good QAYG blocks I made last year.
 



Alrighty then....some ideas are starting to percolate.

Some Unexpected Colour Therapy

A spontaneous trip to Seattle led us to some unexpected but much needed colour therapy. Yesterday morning we took the Clipper from Victoria and headed off to Seattle.

The glass work by Dale Chihuly had us truly mesmerized!!!







Viewing Seattle from the top of the Space Needle is absolutely breathtaking.



Drinking in beauty does something for one's well being.
