I wanted to play !
You know, make mud pies, or design sand castles.
Ignore, drown out, and escape those "adult issues" requiring a thoughtful decision making process.
Not for a life time, not even necessarily for a week or even the whole day......merely for a few hours.
Had to be a hands on activity...creative...there had to be an end product !
Cooking maybe?
That requires concentration. Nope !
Scrapbooking? Again...requires concentration.
I wanted to do something with my hands and let my mind entertain me....wander around and explore hidden places....and surprise me !
I can't paint or draw....and my spinning wheel is broken.
But I have wool...lots of wool !
Wool I had dyed years ago in Surprise Valley.
Wool that I recently bought in Surprise Valley !
Found my felting books and brushed up on various projects and techniques.
Didn't want to spend the time to felt a pair of boots......and good gracious it's way too hot to even try these on !
I would create a flat piece of felted "art" . I had everything I needed !
Wool
Soap (old fashioned Fels Naptha),
a bamboo mat for rolling the wool,
a sink,
unlimited hot and cold water,
and lots of towels for slop and mess !
Several hours later, sporting shriveled fingers, and a very happy mind, I spread out my "felted art" to dry !
Infuse your life with Play Days !!
Happy Infusions,
Kate
I absolutely love it! It makes me smile and feel all happy inside.

Thanks Angela and Jessica ! You two are wonderful encouragers ! And beautiful artists !!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like your blogs. Fun. I didn't know you had sleepless nights in Redding. It's more common than I had hoped... wonder what's up? I am still figuring out how to sleep. I like your felt art!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan ! Sleeplessness isn't catching is it ? Sometimes the more I wish for sleep the less I get ! Take care.
