As I shared last week right here, I find affirmation in using a word to "define" my year of growth and self exploration ahead. I've been so inspired by your New Year's Quilty goals and commitments, but for the first time in my life, this list making, goal orientated, do three things at once kind of gal is finding herself content to:
Yep! Just content to BE....ME right now and quite honestly, I'm rejuvinated and excited about this new found peacefulness. I'm motivated to simply enjoy the process of quilting as my craft, my creative outlet, with no deadlines or commitments. This little 11"x14" wallhanging now hangs right at my desk as a daily affirmation to be peaceful and to look forward to the year of self expression I have ahead of me!
Funny thing is, I actually think that by doing this, I'll find myself PLAYING with my quilting more and well, who knows what might come out of this creative little brain of mine! So how about you? Just for fun, comment and complete the phrase: Just BE...
With smiles,
V:)
...happy! Isn't that what it is all about??
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more!
DeleteVery cute!! Be Simple - I am finding going back to simple has actually excited my being.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! Last year I had a similar revelation and told myself that this is a HOBBY, not a job. It was rather freeing. Good luck on your journey....and I live your cheery reminder!
ReplyDeleteWhile I love your little sign, and think that it is a great goal for you, I find it a little too easy to just BE. This year I am going to try to just BE... proactive :)
ReplyDeleteHi VAl!
ReplyDeleteGreat! So good! Spread the word!
Just Be! You never know what you might find! Create! Discover!

Just Be Grateful! That's my resolution for 2015. I've always been grateful, but I plan to express it more in my actions as well as in my words.
ReplyDeleteI like!
ReplyDeleteJust Be Happy with the progress I've made. Last year in my enthusiasm for quite a few wonderful BOMs out there in netland, I got carried away. This year - same thing. But I'm saying no, just be happy with the progress on the ones I've already started. Thanks, Val, for articulating the feeling I'm find more and more quilters on blog land are thinking.
ReplyDeleteVery cute wall hanging! I hope you have a wonderful year of 'being'!
ReplyDeleteQuilting BEE... you just misspelled the word. LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs
Your sign is so cute Val! So many great comments here too. This year I want to be... grateful. To focus my thoughts and efforts more on all the good in life.
ReplyDeleteExcellent... LOVE it! And you have placed your quilty reminder in the perfect location!
ReplyDeleteJust being sounds like a great idea and that little quilt is a wonderful way to remind yourself :)
ReplyDeleteYour mini quilt is just great. I might try one that says: Just have fun! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeletemindful. Mind what I eat, what I say and what I do.

Just Be mindful. It's so easy to let time just slip away, I want to be mindful of how I spend mine this year.
