LIVING IN THE NOW

One of the beautiful and inspring places I taught this week

Check out the quilts, utterly beautiful, got my blood pumping for colour! 

The light, oh the light. 

Really got me thinking about the NOW, living in NOW and noticing the NOW. 

We all know we rush around, day to day, week week, month to month. I know I don't stop enough take a breath and really absorb he NOW. 

That's my big theme at the mo. 

STOP

SEE 

BEAUTY

AND 

ABSORB 

IT

ONE VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER

Just received such a gorgeous email with this picture attached from a customer....

"The box looked soooooo pretty I didn't want to even open it, but I knew what was inside... once I opened the box I almost cried! Such a treasured purchase, thank you Painted and Patched."

So great to hear back from all our happy mums (and dads too) ;)

Why is bamboo the ideal fiber to fill your precious baby quilts with?

 

ONE QUESTION, ONE SIMPLE ANSWER

Bamboo fiber is amazing and has hypo-allergic properties that make it ideal for baby quilts. It is great for keeping babies warm when it is cold and cool when it is warm. Thats just why we use it for filling our quilts. 

Only the best for your little ones!!

Awesome Book, Awesome Dream Mr Clayton

Dallas Clayton wrote 'a little book about dreaming big' and he shared his message with a whole lot of people!! Reminded children all over the world to never stop dreaming. He's a regular guy and had a dream of writing a book but nobody would help him get it out there, so he just pushed his dream all the way himself. Determination and hard work - we like your style Mr Clayton :) 

This 'awesome' book is available online at www.veryawesomeworld.com for everyone to read. It's a pretty great story and a real reminder to not give up and he has my name too! Clayton's rocking and rolling ;)

HIGH FIVE DALLAS WE LOVE YOUR BOOK!!

Patchwork quilts moving forward

 

I've spent some time this evening re-visting images from previous shoots. It really reminded me the importance of looking back and reflection. Something I always try and do when I'm walking - look back. So often we are steaming ahead and forget the views behind us, are as brilliant as the one's ahead. 

I've found some beautiful images and been reminded of some even more beautiful moments. Reminded of a youthful spark in the air and quilts in the air too!! 

Always look forward lovely readers but also don't forget to look back now and again.... see the journey that unfolded for you.... and reflect on it.
