YES I CAN

When I approach the act of creating something that seems impossible or too hard what a great slogan YES I CAN is, how full of Hope and Belief and possibility. The best thing about it though is that it also encourages EXCELLENCE. I am now committed to saying Yes, I Can more often, being less self-critical and giving myself more pats on the back. At least I endeavor to give Life, look around me and see Life, see the possibilities around me for making my surroundings more beautiful.

Ironic as it may seem, this economic crunch motivates me even more. "Necessity is truly the Mother of Invention" and I dig for materials I already have to make things, twigs from the garden, rocks and pebbles, seashells and leaves, old jars and found objects collected over the years.

All for inner peace, a relaxing mantra as I bring my needle and thread over and under in a flight of the imagination.

My two favorite fabric artists and what they're up to: Cathy Cullis & Spirit Cloth
