Moving On


I had my next punchneedle piece all laid out -- the design was drawn, the threads were ready and I was ready  -- or was I?  I kept feeling this sense of resistance even while I prepared for beginning a new project.


The next morning I woke up and said 'I'm not going to do it' - my fingers are itching to pick up a regular needle and thread and make a stitchery.  My mind is filled with images of collaged fabric, embroidery stitches, making order out of chaos (but not too much order mind you).


And so I've begun a completely new piece of work -- hope you'll join me in this new adventure, I think its going to be great fun!

  8. I also see a nest, and its lovely, has great depth. I'm so happy you didn't fight the urge to branch off with this one. We all need changes, and the threads will still be there later. Katie made me laugh with "oh no can I add another hobby". The answer is yes! Can't wait to see what you create here, Penny!
