Look Back

My first mini-quilt for September was a little improv stitch practice piece.

My second mini-quilt paid homage to 14carrot, a textile artist on Etsy who inspires me all the time (and who made the heart.)

I altered a thrifted penguin stuffy into my version of Glinda the Good Witch for Halloween.

To use up scraps of fabric and yarn I mde a stitch practice mug rug and three crochetd mini baskets for my altered stuffies.

My third mini-quilt of the month was a belated Valentine for someone who didn't get one this year.

My fourth mini-quilt was all about the frustration of having so many ideas while dealing with limited hand function.

The Halloween fabric I didn't use for my altered stuffies I made into a small quilt, which I hand quilted.

My fifth mini-quilt for September (yes, there were 5 Tuesdays) was made with a bit of Kantha and scraps from my Halloween quilt.

In October I'll be crocheting a throw and making some small Halloween projects for our home. Stay tuned to the blog to see what I can accomplish. :)

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay
