createology Bliss Gratitude...


Sometimes we do nothing at all. Sometimes we do something very small and insignificant.  Sometimes we receive far more than we give.  This is one of those times.  I would like to thank Madamm Samm of sewwequilt.blog for doing something so generous and quite out of the blue (pun intended).  I received an email from Madamm Samm and in it she included this wonderful logo she made just for createology.
Thank you from my heart and soul Madamm Samm.  I am so happy with this createology bliss logo.  You know me so well with the blue flower and my favorite word bliss.  I have put it on my blog sidebar.
Each and every time I look at this it makes me happy and I smile.  You have brightened my days dear. Thank You sew very much.
I cannot imagine anyone not following Madamm Samm and her amazing blog and blog hops.  Right now is "See you in September" featuring Riley Blake Gingham.  I grew up in the era of gingham fabrics and to this day it still makes me smile.  Each year my mother would sew matching dresses for three girls and herself and a shirt for father.  One year we would all wear yellow gingham, another it would be red and so on.  She did this so when we all went to the fair everyone knew we were all together if any of us girls got separated. Pretty smart I think.  Seeing every participant's projects is pure inspiration.  What do you think of gingham fabric?
We are in the 90's here and still no rain.  Our well is really struggling and has run dry several times now.  Our neighbors are each having the same issues.  Water is such a precious commodity that we pay more money for designer bottled water than we do for fuel in our automobile tanks.  Praying for all of California to get really wet very soon.  Mr. C and I are removing many landscaping plants and shutting off lots of irrigation drip lines to cut down on water usage.  The town of Porterville in Central California has completely run dry and I cannot imagine how those families are getting by on the little bit that is being trucked in for them.  My little buddy Tag, Corgi Cutie, of Brynwood Needleworks has offered to do a rain dance for us.  I would even welcome his shake off drops from his daily swim in the pool.  Thank you Donna and Tag.
Many of you are getting back into your Fall routines now that school is back in session.  I hope you are having lots of crafty creative time and making what you love.  Creative createology bliss...

  4. What a terrible water situation! A couple summers ago when we had drought conditions I did a rain dance and we did have a thunderstorm that evening. :) Sending you some rain karma because we sure can't live without water.

    Love your blue Creatology bliss badge, simply beautiful.

  6. Hello, dear friend. Your new badge is perfectly you!

    I've been praying that all the rain we're getting here will move to you to help you replenish your water - soon! You're in my thoughts constantly. I really wish there were something I could do (including that rain dance) to send water your way.

    Sending hugs to you and all your dry CA friends.

  10. Hi Sherry. I should be mailing out your package by monday. Sorry it has taken me so long to get it to you.
    We have been having rain and more rain every stinking day. I wish I could send you all some of the water. It is crazy how much rain we are getting here in Miami.
    Have fun creating in your studio. I am trying to catch up on things before my vacation.
    Happy crafting to you, Ana

  15. And your lack of rain...a friend of mine sent me some slides of 2011 to 2014 and how bad it is in Ca. I could barely recognize the landscapes..this is so serious and devastating....I do pray this drought ends for all of you.

  19. Oh my goodness, what a lovely gift from a sweet friend! I love it! I'm so sorry to hear about your well! We were in a terrible drought, in Georgia, several years ago. I would catch water in the shower to water plants. Sending prayers your way for a water rich well!
