Chasing the blues away

Sometimes things happen and they create chinks in the bubble of your happiness when lots of chinks happen they create a crack and allow the blues to flood in . . . .

What is a sad and blue patchworker to do

but chase the blues away

with a little fabric therapy and creating something new

I always think that yellow is the colour of happiness, like a bright sunny day

And the lovely blue green floral fabric just made me smile.

Victoria ( the sewing machine) and I worked hard together as I stitched, pressed and top stitched away to create something new and full of sunny happiness.

tah dah, a beautiful new mug bag, thanks to Red Brolly for the gorgeous pattern

I am always so impressed when designers offer gorgeous free patterns. They have wonderful souls

My lovely husband understood my need to create and left me to my own devices and cooked a lovely dinner for me whilst I stitched away. My gorgeous daughter did some washing and ironing to relieve any guilt.

A bright and happy bag, to make me smile

I did nt realise when I started this pattern, that this was the very same bag that cardygirl had made just recently, she obviously shares my good taste . . . Lol

My new bag on it s first outing, was much admired

I spent the evening with a lovely group of ladies (Novocastrian quilters) who made me laugh and smile, as fellow quilters always do

And I am feeling a lot brighter and whilst the last wisps of blues remain, for me there is nothing like creating to make the world seem a better place.

As Walt Whitman said

"Keep your face turned towards the sun 

And the shadows will fall behind you"

"I hope your hands are working on a project that you love"
