Happy Birthday!

 Hi!

My hubby's birthday was at the beginning of the month.
I wanted to make a wall quilt that celebrated him. 

So while I was working on another project in secret.
We are both photographers and his favourite colour is blue.

So I gathered my fabrics and made this!

This cute pattern is by Sassafras Lane Design: Mini Focus Freeway.
It's an applique pattern.
Done in a day!

Hugs!

New Year thoughts

Hello!

Here we go, ANOTHER person giving new year thoughts!
I do love my blog, but have been neglecting it this year due to focusing on family and health.
I realised when I DID do something creative I got a lot of positive vibes from it and wanted more!

A few years ago, I read that it is more important to add something than remove something as a resolution.  This way you will be more successful in completing it.  So I have tried to do so, within my limitations.

This year I am going to try to commit a minimum of 1 day a month to each of my passions: card making, scrapbooking, quilting and blogging!  Obviously I will do more, but setting aside one full guilt free day of playing on these areas will keep me motivated and feeling fulfilled, relaxed and happy.

I just finished a yearly challenge of sending a birthday card to each of the ladies who wished to receive one on my Yahoo group About Oriental Stamp Artists.  Some months were a little late, but all of them got a card.  Here are some examples:

Hoping your 2019 is full of fun and creativity!
Hugs!
