Inspirations
reasons for celebrations (with a smile)
Again a warm welcome to another RAINY, yes rainy gloomy
day here, but that will not dampen my enthusiasm by lots of lovely things that
inspire me and lift my spirit and soul!
My grand daughter can be very
adventurous and ‘designed’ this old rack sack to suit her needs on our trip to
Holland. She wanted something ‘special’ and unique to her so here goes… we
found this old rucksack at the local charity shop for £2, a pair of ‘bobby
socks’ from Poundland and she made use of some felt to create a ‘front
feature’. It was many a talking point on our journey through Holland (best of
all -hands off to her brother who could not them mistake it as his, whilst
always looking for something to eat…)

On a dreary day, what could be
more inspiring than the vibrant colours of this quilt on one of my beds made by
sister (Clarissa Rudd from Jeffreysbay za) hand stitched for me? Every time I look at it I see something
new and inspiring or recognise a piece of fabric from years ago. It was all
hand stitched with love and this is what crafts are all about.(More to follow
at a later stage)

| Tranquillity in greens |
This idea I saw whilst on a visit
to South Africa and I ‘adopted’ the idea. Bought a sieve from, yes, again
Poundland, broke off the long handle and – hey Presto a new holder for my
hanging earrings are born!

This lovely scarf with the
crotchet edge let me reach for my crotchet needle ( I must admit my crotchet
crafts only stretch to a chain / double and treble crotchet stitch with which I
crotchet my flowers, not at all a difficult fine pattern like this- the beauty
of it all is they sit and crotchet this whilst talking to you- without a single
stitch mistake -How do they do it? I am sure this will make a lovely TV
program. How do they do it?
 |
| Lovely handy work - so neat and precise! |
And last but not least, I am
inspired all the time by the lovely flowers in my garden and when I dig away in
the mud and soil, my brain form patterns of things to come- I draw pure
inspiration from it all

| Sunflower from our garden... |
Last but not least- I am truly
blessed and inspired by the emails I receive and hope I inspire any one out
there to be creative and inspired by all of this!
Till the next time
Inspired me

P.S. I am not inspired by my
fingers who keep on pressing the wrong buttons on the computer…still learning…
