The sound of leaves blowing in the breeze, the smell of crisp autumn air and warmth between my hands. Tree's calm me.
When I feel overwhelmed with life or a certain situation, the sounds of leaves and sight of a tree can fix me up.
The sad part is that I live in a fairly new area in our town, which means there are no big regal oaks looming around. However, one day there will be and I get just as much enjoyment watching little tree's fight to claim their own.
Bizarre? Probably. However, for as long as I can remember, tree's have soothed me.
What does tree's have to do with sewing? Well, I have no idea to be honest. However, I drew up a design for a table runner last night. As you may have guessed, it has a tree. A large old, bare tree. Naked with no leaves.
I have decided that one day, it will be made and adorn my table where my family sits down to eat. Just not yet. First will come the planning of size, finding the perfect fabrics etc.
However, I wonder if I am alone with my love for tree's? I can't be.
Therefore I plan on making some smaller runners and placemats this season that are inspired by tree's. Stay tuned for them....
