It means giving away some of my creative time, but it means so much to Skye. We had such a good time on Wednesday. Boy! she did push her collage to the point of tiredness. She is doing a paper collage that represents her house and the 2 acres they live on. I was going to explore her ideas and later make a fabric collage of our house and 8 acres that we live on. Now, I really feel that I should go ahead and glue my collage to a background and try to keep up with her. She choose a summer tree with a pair of cowboy boots underneath it. I chose a winter tree with a patch of grass underneath it. Next time, Skye wants to work on flowers and I hope to work on flowers and leaves. I appreciate the time that we have spent together and the willingness on Skye's part to do something that we both enjoy. My own 20 minutes at home have been good. I'm closing in on 2 more finishes by July 4th. This has been a really busy summer for me. With my daughter in grad school and my grandson in summer school, it's been a whirlwind around here keeping up with both of them. But, I seem to relax more while sewing and quilting. July I am taking the whole month to make me 2 quilts and anything else I want to. After all, it's my birthday month! Joyce B.
