You've been busy completing projects and it was nice to see both your paintings and a little CQ. I must admit I've fallen away from doing CQ in favour of my landscapes and even (horrors) got rid of most of my fabric collection that was earmarked for CQ projects. I needed space to store the fabric collection I'm currently using. I did keep a little bit though with the thought that I might make cards at some point.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895776517014101772.post-41252400753036885472023-11-17T04:51:53.481-07:002023-11-17T04:51:53.481-07:00Hello,

It is very beautiful and really touched my heart as it so fits where I am in life right now. I have only perused a tiny bit of the images on this site but I must say you seem very talented at everything! Your crazy quilts are nothing short of breathtaking and your rabbit painting is absolutely adorable! I do many crafts as well but know nothing about all these latest things like blogging, Pinterest, etc. and they seem overwhelming to me to figure out, but I'm so glad you have this website for all of us to see your beautiful creations! Thank you for sharing them and that beautiful poem as well. Isn't God so, so good?!

I loved seeing your paintings and you photos from the Denver Art Museum. We went there a long time ago. Are you near Boulder?

In 2017, my husband and I sold our home, purchased a motor coach and practically gave all of our belongings away to friends in order to travel and live the vagabond lifestyle. Long story short and I would love to share it with you, that way of living ended too quickly. In the giving away part, I relinquished most of my crafting supplies and recently decided to rescue what I could not part with from the closet behind our basement bar to see what I could find. In that process, I found your website, blog and a gal who inspired me. You are so different but so much like me! I now live in the mountains right below Genesee CO since 2019. The lifestyle in our home is multigenerational and there is a story to tell about it as well. My fabric scraps are bagged in a bin, 3 new hexigon projects started, 1 crazy block quilt started. In another bin 2 pillow size Hawaiian quilts unfinished, several treasure or paper junk journals going, a shirt quilt cut and ready to start, to mention a few happy places for me to spend my winter days,say! Too long of a post. I would love to get to know you better. So sorry your childhood community, beautiful as it was lays chard. I was devastated for the beautiful people of Boulder County.

Your kitties, I love the tabby, just like the one I had, the photos and paintings you have made are extraordinary, what colors, what beauties.

Sadly, with only my cell phone to view your collages as a single pic, I can barely make out what you describe. Your art magnifies the beauty of that which surrounds you.

Yes, things can be replaced. My sister lost their home to fire a few years back, also getting out only with pets her purse, their cars and the night clothes on their back. It took months to get back to any real "normal" life for them...and even now she has moments of just such sorrow over precious photos and antiques gone forever. It's difficult to find blessings in the mist of such sorrow and devastation...but they are there; we just have to hunt for them at times. Wishing all touched by this tragedy new hope for this New Year.
