Yes I Can

I’ve set myself the task of finishing 8 Quilts by 31 December 2019. Admittedly they are small pieces, because of this I am hand quilting them. This makes them portable and easy to take to the ‘in real life’ quilt group I’ve joined. ‘Stitchers’ in Herne Hill are very welcoming ! I’ve also joined an

Affirmation

Affirmation turns up in life as statements to self, in the present tense, to manifest the qualities or things you want in your life. As in ‘I am rich’  or ‘money flows freely to me’ or ‘my life is beautiful’. Affirmations for money status, health status, the status of being alive and here. They are

Yes and No

Yes! I’m happy to say that I completed my project, #100 Day Result, finishing up on July 27th or thereabouts.

All Change!

‘The only constant in life is change’ which is certainly true for my year so far. There was temporary change when I fractured my arm, which thankfully has healed and now a permanent change is upon me- I’m saying goodbye to the lovely space that has been home to my art making and moving to

Message from the Universe…

  I fell…was falling, slipping, sliding, going through the air. The cup of tea in my right hand dropped, tea splattered everywhere and BA BOOM…I’m on the floor.
