Ribbon Flowers

If you have been following my blog for any amount of time now, you know that my sewing machine is still at the doctor's.  I have been trying very hard to keep busy with other things, but last night I could not help picking up my sewing needle and doing something, anything, to be creative. 

I needed to feel fabric in my hands, I desired that spark of creativity.  Hearing the soft "swoosh" of the needle and thread was music to my soul.  I had no purpose other than creative expression at that moment.



Before I knew it, the clock hands showed that it was past midnight.  I looked at my little pile of ribbon flowers and was satisfied that my creative needs had been met for the night.  I went to sleep with a smile on my face in joyous rapture and thankfulness for the gift of simple creativity.  God bless the wonderful person who invented the needle and thread.

Have you had times where you yearned to be creative with some form of art?  I would love to know, please share!
