I watched The Quilt Show this morning and they had the episode with Susan Carlson on it. Wow! I have always loved her work but seeing how she creates her collages and how she steps outside of the box is so inspirational! It makes me want to cut all my stash into little pieces, throw them into bins or cases and collage away!

I used her first book to make a collage of a fish for Owen. Her second book has a Mandela, moon and sun and many more exciting images. I wonder if I can do a series of pillows for the sofa when we move? They would certainly be colorful and fun. Just another thing to add to my already too long list of wanttodo's!'

Why don't I have more time to do these things I want to do? Retirement isn't what I thought it would be. Wonderful? Yes! Productive? NO!
