pssst, SHE doesn’t know it. SHE would be anyway to busy to notice it. But well – I really hate these days.

SHE becomes so neglecting. Cuddling hours going to zero. Food only after the second loud and clear demand. And I am still so supportive…

It all starts when this car stops in front of our door – and I watch out for it!

 

The guy drags heavy boxes in my home and SHE freaks out with joy, jumping around as if SHE would have found an unsealed and open XXL-cat-food package. Then SHE disappears with all the stuff for hours into her studio and I hear HER singing, and working until late night. I mean, let me check that box – are there any drugs in????

All I could find were such odd bundles, who knows what those are for… Human beings are weird, aren’t they…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although I don’t get the point what HER hype is all about, it seems to be something you can play with. At least SHE can spend hours and hours with that kind of thing. I mean – ok, it’s comfortable to dive into this watchamacallit fabric, but I prefer to have just a nap on the spread out scraps.

BTW – does SHE even get the point what playing is all about – having fun, chasing and throwing things around. When I watched HER the other night, when SHE were on HER knees seeming to have all the burden of the world on HER shoulders while pondering which of HER snippets should go where – OMG, look at that – this was her sad result. I mean PLAYFUL, baby?????

I was so sorry for HER. Out of pity for HER miserable outcome I took heart and thought, let me assist HER a bit, so SHE can feel better. I brought all that stiffness out and made a good example for what we call having fun!

Yes, that was really supportive!

I think I should teach HER more of this good stuff. Living la vie en rose instead of waking up with dark circles around the eyes due to last night’s overtime hours. Relax, baby! There is more in life than working hours!

Let’s see what SHE is doing right now… Going outdoors to take pictures from her latest whatsit.

What could this be good for?

no clue…

 
perhaps something interesting underneath….

  
This is just a perfect place to relax and bask in the sun. Well, if I am only a shining example – maybe SHE will follow and find insights about the most important things in life…

There SHE goes! That wasn't so hard, was it?

I’m curious about what my colleagues have to report about all the other weird Moda freaks,  hopping over today to

Zen Chic’s Brand new modern Fabrics – Reel Time - COMING TO STORES NOW

Since the first sneak peek of REEL TIME  last fall a lot of you were asking and already impatiently awaiting the new fabric line coming to stores. Good news: this month they will arrive in most of your favorite shops!

To celebrate the new line let me introduce the lovely fabrics by a blog tour. I am supported by a wonderful group of well known modern quilters who have inspiring blogs which you will love (if you aren’t already their passionate follower).

Each of them will give you their personal review of the fabrics, how they would play with them, what ideas they were inspired by – and some already revealed to me that they will show you a little project!
Doesn’t this sound too good to miss! I can’t wait to see, what they came up with! (I’m always not only curious about but also delighted to see, in which way other quilters use the fabrics I created once on my computer screen. They come to life and they make beautiful things – quilts, bags, a girl’s dress, a nice gift. I’m so blessed with a profession that is much more, it’s a passion!

To get to the point: here is our schedule for the blog tour. Don’t miss to hop over to every one and see their personal view and ideas with the fabrics. I promise you’ll get some delicious ideas.
