I love the inspiring post too :) Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations! :) I appreciate that this blanket is composed of different color smaller squares. It somehow adds an extra endearing quality to this blanket :).

We share thoughts, feelings, ideas, experiences in our blogs. We reveal a part of ourselves in front of a big, yet invisible audience, consisted mainly of strangers and a few new friends, who we've discovered among them in the exciting everyday journey, called blogging... We write, send the post and then wait to see how many people will answer it, thus beginning a virtual conversation with us.<br />So that's what has happened between you and me. I've never supposed that "Not matter the long pause!" would find such a response in you! How could I know? I was surprised and... honoured! Thank you for writing about it!<br />Do you know, maybe I should ask myself the same question - which are the full stops that I could and should turn into commas? You are absolutely right - this concerns not only art, but a lot of other spheres and activities in our life... Maybe I could try to write poems again? Or knit a beautiful winter blouse for my grown-up son? (I used to knit a lot, when he was a small boy.) Or play the piano again? I know the music is waiting there, in the keys, and I have just to move my fingers ...I have already a list in my head and I think some commas will be born quite soon!:))) And after that the new sentences will end up with dots!:)<br />..............<br />The blanket is wonderful! Its time has finally come and you have FELT that!<br />Big hugs!!xxrossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-59830418419779255782011-06-05T23:01:28.487+01:002011-06-05T23:01:28.487+01:00Beautiful.

So, so beautiful to see the example of this in your completed crocheted blanket, with its dimples and harmonious yarns. Really lovely.<br /><br />I'd also like to leave a compliment here for the very talented Rossichika. What she creates is unique.<br /><br />Best wishes!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-57615928197265373362011-05-31T17:47:12.980+01:002011-05-31T17:47:12.980+01:00What a beautiful blanket Sue - yet again you work ...What a beautiful blanket Sue - yet again you work your magic.

You couldn't...Your colors always blow me away! You couldn't have chosen more luscious ones together if you had stood for hours in a yarn shop.<br /><br />The fact that your "bits and pieces and remnants' all blend and complement so well tells me something about your gifting: it has always been there and reveals itself in fresh ways but consistently with other expressions. <br /><br />I have had a desire to start painting again. Since my trip with my dad, little vignettes appear in my mind and the simplest thing seems to paint them out. I haven't done this since high school and college, so I hardly know where to begin, but I did just buy some small canvases the other day...<br /><br />Your whole experience of thinking about art and your wanting to draw fresh inspiration and then this beautiful product seems to be a metaphor, but it's so elusive.<br /><br />I wish I could hold the afghan and feel it. Beautiful, the whole process and outcome! (You really don't give yourself enough credit for the placement of colors and textures and all the design elements. I have seen some perfectly awful afghans!)<br /><br />HollyHollacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916548022979567056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-40312960170446405092011-05-31T17:14:19.731+01:002011-05-31T17:14:19.731+01:00Lovely post.

I, too, have recently completed some elderly pieces ... except they are pieces which I thought were complete, but over time I decided they needed more. Very satisfying. I have a harder time with UFOs .... often feel that they weren't completed for a good reason ... and I throw them out, or pass the pieces on to someone who might find them appealing for their own project. I recently sent the pieces of a fairly major project to someone else ... kind of wish I had taken a picture ... it will be interesting to see what she does with it. :-)Morna Crites-Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434374580665010849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-42409036746177440562011-05-31T16:50:34.303+01:002011-05-31T16:50:34.303+01:00Love the idea of turning a full stop into a comma ...Love the idea of turning a full stop into a comma and thus returning to something you thought you had left too long.
