Like many of the things in my life, I have many thoughts about blogs. I love reading them, seeing the creativity, reproducing tasty recipes, seeing growing and changing families, people sharing the highs and lows of their life. Blogs are time consuming. It takes time to take photographs, download them and write a post. I miss those who have stopped posting on their blogs and am delighted when someone reappears.
Blogs help me to find the creative side of myself. For example, Gail, The Middle Sister shared photographs of the home of a friend. While enjoying the home tour, Gail had a photograph of a hooked chair pad. My creative juices started flowing and I went searching through old issues of Primitive Quilt magazine until I found an eagle motif. Out came the freezer paper, out came the wool bins and soon I had drawn (traced) off my own eagle for a chair pad and selected wools.
So. . .once again, reading a blog gave me an idea. I think an American Eagle chair pad will work nicely in this chair.
isn't it wonderful to be able to SEE something that then sets off a chain reaction .. that ends with the production of a beautiful work of creativity xx Looking forwards to the end result x
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what you said about blogs. Good luck with your new creative adventure.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! So have you rug hooked before? I love hooked rugs!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your eagle chair pad in a future blog post! Like you, I find blogs inspiring and motivating plus the friendships made along the way.
ReplyDeleteI certainly enjoy getting inspiration from bloggers around the world. Have fun hooking!
ReplyDeletetalk about creative juices - I'm just back from 5 days of rug camp (sigh) one of my DF's was doing Edyth O'Neals 1792 Eagle - really neat ! I like yours too. Will be perfect for that chair. it's hooking time ! enjoy Mel
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see what that becomes. I have missed blogging and reading blogs. I am trying to get back into both. It is so much more personal than Facebook!
