Twyla on Tuesday

Hello dear ones!

I am either being very brave or very stupid to share with you

a paper bag album that I made a couple of years ago.

 

As the mother of a genuine scrap booking designer, I feel like who am I to

show what I've done.  Lindsey's work is very detailed and 'chunky', multi layered and in comparison,

my work is very plain.  It is just my style she tells me.

I do enjoy dabbling in paper, but for me it is work.  I have to think too hard and I have

a problem 'commiting'.  The paper is almost too pretty to cut!

Every since I was little I have had an inner need to create something, anything.  I started out

with decoupage and learned to knit when I was eleven and learned to crochet shortly after that.

I was also sewing my own clothes from a young age out of necessity.  I was an

overweight child who couldn't find clothes to fit me off the rack.

As an adult, I continued to sew, embroider and taught myself to cross stitch.

I continued to knit and crochet, even learned to do broomstick lace!

I call it a slow burn in my soul that makes it impossible for me to not be creating something.

In fact, while I am working on a project, I am already thinking of other ideas and designs.

Because of this I have many 'works in progress'!  Oh, if only there was more time!

I encourage you to create something today.  Find that burning urge in your soul. 

You might be surprised!  I had always wanted to be a muralist and I got to realize my

dream when a co-worker allowed me to paint a mural on her dining room wall!

Whatever you would like to do - DO!

Creating is good for your soul!

Have an amazing day!
