INSPIRATION AND CREATIVITY

It is that time again joining in Jenny's link up.  This week we ponder our inspiration for creativity in every day things.  Do we take the time to really look at things around us? I have always called this "mindfulness" .  My first awareness that I can recall was when I was a child sleeping at my grandparents'. I would wake up in the morning and see the wardrobe on the wall directly opposite me. The woodgrain fascinated me as I could distinctly see a tree man on each door. It never scared me, just intrigued me. I also loved lying on the grass looking up at the sky and seeing shapes of things in the clouds. I still love doing that. Even the floorboards in my home stimulate my imagination . I have a duck, an eel and even a sad emu's face!

I love the passionfruit flower with its intricate design by nature.

Jenny also mentions how paintings tell us a story. Since I was 15 years old I loved Salvadore Dali's surrealism. I was totally awe struck how he managed to create quite weird paintings which you could also see other things in . What can you see?

I also loved Boticelli's Birth of Venus and was quite disppointed that this particular painting was not at the Louvre , Paris when I visited back in 2015.

My creativity is currently flowing despite lack of sleep and my FMS acting up with the inconsistency of our weather here.  I am only a few days behind with the CAL  and I am quite pleased with how this throw is looking .

I have started making my hexie coasters to match the table runner I made.

I had the urge to make another table topper this morning using fabrics I had bought several years ago for that purpose. Glad I remembered. Hmmm, I did iron it but apparently not well enough! Ironing is not my forte.

Before I went into sewing mode I made my special bread which is in Michael Mosley's book "  The Clever Guts Diet". 

I really don't know where my burst of energy came from considering I was up at 6.30am awoken by a house demolition a few doors behind us. I had to be up anyway as hubby had organised people to come and help in the garden and take some hard rubbish away at 7.15am! This may sound normal to you but I do not sleep much and 6.30am is often 2 or 3 hours into my sleep time. 

Sorry for the lengthy post. I appreciate your visit and wish you many

Angel Blessing.
