One of my favorite children's books is: IF YOU GIVE A MOOSE A MUFFIN, because it so clearly describes life! This book was not really for children...it was meant for adults, like me! lol!

So onward with my story...This morning when I got up I started going through my fabrics and decided that I wanted to use only my SPECIAL fabrics for this project. My rule is that I can only use fabrics that have been given to me... SO,
I am using the new fabulous antique kimono fabrics from Mary Stanley http://marystanley.blogspot.com/
Also I am using the gorgeous African fabrics from Isabelle, http://isathreadsoflife.wordpress.com/
Lastly, I am going to look through my stash from http://gerdiary.blogspot.com/
Thank you <3

| CC License View I decided I wanted to do something like Aminah Robinson for this cross stitch picture.... |
a picture I took of the book called: Symphonic Poem
The Art Of Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson
I think I am really going to love the finished picture! Also, did I mention how soothing it is to sit and cut fabric scraps and create a puzzle effect? I Love doing it and I can see why Aminah does what she does in her work. Fun!
Lastly, I managed to snap a full moon rising picture.... I was surprised my camera actually picked up some of the stars too!
If you look closely you can see a few faint stars around
the moon coming up between some trees...
Goodnight moon : )
