~ Creative Chaos ~

"For me, peace comes when I embrace the beautiful mess that I am ~ 

and that this world is…and just let it be that. "

~ Elizabeth Gilbert

and oh what a mess….

I am in the throes of the final creative week before the upcoming

PSS Retreat & Merchant Mall

full throttle

pedal to the metal

full steam ahead

my sewing room looks like a tornado has come through ~

fabrics piled here and there…

no rhyme-or-reason to 

color

pattern

...or print

loose threads

tangled selvedges

and

buttons

scattered everywhere

not that I am a neat-nic when I create ~

{{{ I tend to leave a trail of 'stuff' all around the farmhouse when I'm creating…}}}

but

when I get in the moment

I just can't stop for housecleaning, eating or

sometimes even sleep…

I go to bed at night thinking about linen, colors, fabrics, threads ~

and wake up the

 exact. 

same. 

way.

I'm working on a little collection of finished textile jewelry

now…

brooches, pins, bracelets & necklaces

made up of spent cloth, old quilts, odds & ends

of things in the bottoms of my sewing baskets & such.

I want to incorporate everything into these tiny bits of wearable art ~

snippets of lace

old fasteners & eyelets

vintage threads

and 

I'll be using these below to make a few unique things too ~

Will share again soon~

Have a most-creative day today my friends!!
