Is the yarn your own home-spun fiber? The colors just shimmers.<br /><br />Making fills me up in so many ways that it's difficult to list them all. Finding, enjoying childhood friends and remembering with them has been so much fun the last few days. Halloween was just a joy on so many levels: I made cute treat bags for my fave two Littles, at four and five they truly Get Halloween and the treat aspect of it (http://lyndaland.blogspot.com/2013/10/halloween-treat-bags.html); we asked the kids as they came to the door if they wanted "Sweet or Salty?" stopped most of them right in their tracks. A huge success and lots of fun. <br /><br />Playing with yarn on a crochet hook has relaxed me. Listening to the Traveling Wilbury's in headphones has me rocking in my chair as I type this so Yeah, happy is good and the leaves changing around me adds to the color aspect of that fun. Thank you for asking; and for sharing your world with us; so very different and so charmed.Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-45373469808236664692013-11-06T20:06:59.354+11:002013-11-06T20:06:59.354+11:00What made me happy? reading your post!

It feeds my soul. I find it fills my tank and gives me the energy to keep going. I'm trying to make more time to do it, although it is still very rare and so hard to ignore the to-do list. I am starting to see it as a necessity for my mental health rather than a diversion. Your tee pea is stunning and you can be reminded of that feeling of freedom whenever you walk past.emma @ frog, goose and bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269340897364390032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-55232229237353838132013-11-02T22:50:52.787+11:002013-11-02T22:50:52.787+11:00Smiling from ear to ear... ♥♥♥

It's been frustrating but at the same time quite sacred. The safest thing I can do is rest and create. Really what am I complaining about hey?? I have been given this special time to "make for the sake of making" and I have no idea why I'm fighting it. What with Chrissy being around the corner you'd think I'd relish the free hours. Well this post of yours has inspired me to do just that Kate! Thank you lovely one. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥Angy is my name.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15437191811060949225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-23466486760267536822013-11-02T08:48:19.260+11:002013-11-02T08:48:19.260+11:00PS love your creativity!PS love your creativity!pandchintzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946088061632823182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-70511317700424225962013-11-02T08:47:50.850+11:002013-11-02T08:47:50.850+11:00I spent the day stitching with my best friends, ch...I spent the day stitching with my best friends, chatting, laughing, drinking lots of tea.......a perfect day!pandchintzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946088061632823182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-1850551885691362242013-11-02T04:09:50.573+11:002013-11-02T04:09:50.573+11:00I made a little stuffed owl for my babe - just for...I made a little stuffed owl for my babe - just for fun.

Your post and the idea of wrapping sweet pea trellis next year after our winter made me so happy...thank you for that inspiration! visiting my children's oldest friends and watching them play (we met when we were all in anti natal classes together and 8 years on are still very close) made me so happy! The way the kids hug my disabled daughter, to them she is just tilly, they have known her forever, there is no hesitation to love her...that made my soul sing! And the look on trick or treaters faces as i open the door with my newly dyed vivid pink hair....should trick or treaters be more astonished by your appearance than you by theirs?...very funny! these things made me smile on this day! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648229748088235109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-39960415054569505042013-11-01T06:58:37.079+11:002013-11-01T06:58:37.079+11:00What a lovely post!

I have three teenagers and I have less time now than when they were young. Their lives and thereby, my own life is completely different than the young years. I try to remind myself to be present and enjoy this moment and really, really appreciate one of those creative and blissful moments that you have just experienced. Enjoy.

It might not seem like a big deal or even that special but my baby has not been sleeping well, not well at all & after weeks & weeks & weeks of getting no more than two & a half hours sleep at a time I woke up this morning feeling fresher than I have in months. I'd love to think it's the start of something great but honestly I'm just so grateful for that sleep I got last night. It made my day :)<br />P.S I love your woven creations.
