Rooms – a place to escape to.
I was busy ‘sorting’ my photos on
my last visit to my sisters and this made me think about rooms. A private place
to escape to – to rest in – to just lie back and think….(or read) and how does hubbie and I enjoy it every time!
What is more enjoyable to bake a
cake with the eggs your hens gave you, milk from your own cows? It tastes
better and is most probably healthier as well as well as the satisfaction of
being part of the baking process instead of being ‘processed’.
The same principle above applies to crafters. What a soul
fulfilment and enjoyment to lie in a bed – all home made, under covers made by
your own hands, pillows crafted with love and attention, decorations on the
walls made to detail and –again with passion. The love of creating. The love of
creating something out of nothing and then to sit back and give praise for
hands that are able to make these things and a mind to be so creative to put
the ideas into practise!
As mentioned in previous blogs, I
come from a family where everything was made from scratch. My dad used to be a
lecturer (he passed away) and a keen woodworker. This love of the wood was
carried over to my brother and my sister – Yes! My sister Priscilla (apart from
being a brilliant needle/knit etc etc) she builds her own furniture to her own taste! Sister Clarissa (she is a
librarian) can put her hand to ANYTHING and it always comes out tops –Brother
Benjamin (although having a MSc) he choose a path with wood and now creates the
most stunning pieces of furniture. Combine all these talents and you get….

No matter how ‘hopeless’ you
think you are – JUST TRY and try again and the satisfaction of any end product
will spur you to put your hand to more
and more crafts…and soon, very soon, you will be crafting to perfection!
Keep on crafting, no matter how –
remember it is the inner soul satisfaction that makes life worthwhile!
Happy crafting and have a lovely
weekend and KEEP on crafting, no matter at what level!
Luvvies
