I felt quite energetic the other night so I began to work on my next piece. I was watching Life on Mars and so I moved my sewing machine onto the floor in front of the laptop and stretched my legs so I could reach the pedal. Anyone watching might have been tempted to ask, 'Huh, why not move the laptop and sit in a more comfortable position?" Well Andy was asleep next to it and I thought he might wake up if I changed anything so I just came in where he was. That way he had the sound of the show and the gentle hum of my machine to keep him company.

This art work is special and it will be good I think. I have been experimenting with stitching strips of fabric together and creating a shingle like effect. I am now working on what I see as a ship and it is ship shaping up nicely.

As I was swirling around in the pool the other day. I began to think about the Water Women series I wanted to create. The wall quilt I gave to Kris was my first and I do have a second buried in a box somewhere. I am revisiting that idea and creating things that go with water. I am feeling happy and moved by my new ideas and seeing them come to fruition is even more fulfilling.

watch this space... it will be good I promise
