Everywhere there are rules, be quiet in this train carriage, no running in the corridor, turn off your phone. All pointless, all necessary. People can not be nice with out being told to be nice. The Rules I prefer are these ones though.
#1 Be thankful
When I experience something beautiful I like to say thanks with a silent prayer, clouds, blue skies, cloudy skies, good food, a beautiful bloom growing in a crack in a pavement.
#2 Alone time
I love my family and my friends, but I also love being alone, in silence or with music drowning out the thoughts and sounds of other lives around me. A chance to read, relax spread out and make mess only to tidy it up again.
3# Patience
The world sometimes is so fast, fast food, downloading a song you just heard for the first time within a minute, sometimes I like to hand sew, I can only go so fast, one stitch at a time. I have done sewing projects that have taken hundreds of hours to complete.
4# Doing something New
It speaks for itself never stop learning or growing. Because we are never complete nor perfect and that it OK.
5# Respect
Respect each other and each others things. Be truthful, not hurtful. Listen. Value time, yours and others. Do not make people wait unnecessarily.
#6 Celebrate
The little things come around more than big things, Celebrate them all.
#7 Love
Treat yourself well. Eat well. Exercise. Sleep. Have hope. Dream of Spring.

I am constantly inspired by the old to create something new. I adore old doilies, crochet lace and fabrics, they bring me so much joy. I am in love with the Swedish, Shaker and French Châteaux styles. It is a soft, relaxed, feminine, romantic way of decorating that looks comfortable and inviting. My creative process and my drive to create is sometimes random, I like to play around with my fabrics in an unstructured way so I do not always know what I will make but come inside and I will show you.
