So here are two of the three ideas for this first What If?
I pulled out white fabrics, but wasn't feeling it.
I fooled around with photos...making them go all white and all.
You can go back in the posts if you want to see that stuff.
Anyway, this was the first idea that came to me...one I wanted to stitch.
I'm trying real hard to DO something this time in Jude's class.
Usually I read, watch, listen...and stitch very little.
I've still stitched Very Little! These two small cloths have just enough stitch to hold the sun & moon on. We'll see where they go from here.
I have a third idea that I hope to get to soon.
My time is extremely limited these days.
The first one is the sun on the left. Something Jude said very early on sparked the idea.
What if I makes something that is Very Typically one color...and instead I make it White?
So we get: What if the Sky was Yellow and the Sun was White?
The second one, the moon goes like this:
What if the Night Sky was White and the Moon was Filled with Stars?
The white is an old pillow case that once belonged to my great aunt.
And, yes Jude is absolutely right in the fact that they are very hard to sew through.
But it is the White I had, so I muscled through!!!
One of her recent posts included the idea of how we hang on to things, honor them to excess...never using them for fear of ruining them.
I can see myself in this idea.
After I make the third idea in this set, I plan to use cloth which I keep on an honoring-treasuring-memory filled pedestal!
Enough is enough!
Lastly, today is the last day of March and I did indeed clean out/up by having at least one thing leave my house every day! I've recorded all of it on my calendar.
I will continue to clean out...but not record it any more.
I've loved the feelings of getting rid of ~ letting go!
So good, so freeing.
To recap:
January 2013- Wrote a Small Stone everyday.
February 2013: Was sick almost every day. Yep, I'm counting that as my monthly did it!!
March 2013: At least one thing leaves the house every day.
April 2013...
STAY TUNED!
PS I forgot to add this book idea...remembered through asking What If?
c.l.o.u.d.s.
If you can read a copy...do! It is filled with imagination and colorful delight!
