Another Thing About Me

Call me what you want, a grandma, an old lady, but I am proud to say that I love working with yarn, textiles, and fabrics of all kinds. These interests apply to quilting, weaving, embroidery, sewing, knitting, crocheting, and fashion design. I see a bunch of scraps of fabric and I think "What could I do with all of this?" and like every creative endeavor I go on, I start a pinterest board and find and form ideas on what to do with my box of scraps. Believe it or not, all of these things inspire me as much as any character or song. Working with my hands and letting my mind wander instead of writing and applying my mind to work on it  gives me time to think and build complexity without getting restless or losing concentration. My most current project is a wall hanging ( a quilty thing that isn't a quilt but is built like one) for my mom. I had a bunch of blues and orange and yellow scraps so I'm doing a hanging of a fiery golden sunset on the sea. My mom loves the ocean almost as much as I do.
