I've been a bit ''off'' this week creatively, a little short on ideas and excitement for embroidery. I know.....it's a curse. It doesn't happen very often, (thankfully) but it's so hard to accept and climb out of. The ''page'' post from yesterday was all wrapped up with those feelings as was the blue and white post from earlier in the week.....I have many ''light bulb'' moments in a queue, all waiting for the big switch on.  

There is class of course.....I have a ton of ideas for that, no struggling where Clara is concerned. 

Meanwhile, last night I picked my white piece up and added a few little appliques, relaxing stitch, Applique and bullion knots, extending a white surface.....try it, it's calming.

I think I am going to cut some paper now, play with a few little pages, maybe put a little artist book together, lose myself in scraps and little samples. I will let you know if that does the trick, brings the spark back.
