Inspiration and Creativity

How does an idea get born? For me, so many times in my life I have found seeds of ideas in awesome little accidents - serendipities. I think that when we harvest them, when we find that something we weren't looking for has grown into something we love... I bend to natures will and embrace it.

I hope that for my friends, old and new, this page becomes a place where we can share those ideas - from their conception to their birth. Sometimes creativity needs a nudge, may you be nudged!

I grew up on a farm in Northern Iowa and I have been fortunate to be able to move back to that area and be inspired by the fields around my home. I love to sew, quilt and embroider which drives my need for inspiration in my creations. I remember thinking (at the beginning of almost every project) “can I do this?” And while not all my ideas have grown into creations that I love, I have learned from the journey of each one. I hope to share those stories, I hope to hear yours and hopefully we end up with a bountiful harvest of serendipities.
