I’m so Happy Sew Lucky I don’t give a hoot!

This particular drawing is from Berene Campbell of Happy Sew Lucky’s stash. On Berene’s site she has a wonderful quote that says “Busy hands make happy hearts”, and I tend to agree.

The other day my son asked me why I draw fabric. First my brain went back to my art school critique training. Words like aesthetic and juxtaposition floated around. Potential was another word that seemed to apply.
Every bolt or stack of fabric has potential. It was a great question but the word that seemed the loudest and the most simple, even though my art school brain cringed at it was . . . happy! I draw fabric because it makes me happy.

What do you do that makes you happy? What’s one thing you do and it gets you every time, you just can’t help yourself?

On the back of “I’m so Happy Sew Lucky I don’t give a hoot!” I wrote – While Berene let me dig away at her stash for fabric to draw, I found some owl patterns for a needle book stuffed in the middle of a stack. “Hey what’s this?” I asked.“Oh it’s just a pattern I whipped up that I did a while ago. I haven’t posted about it yet, I guess I should do that. You can have one!” she replied. Um. . . Okay,sure,thanks! -March 2012 . . . and I have to admit, that too made me happy!
