What does Crazy Quilting have to do with "Snoop", the book?
It's no surprise to me that I love crazy quilting. I love anthologies and sampler packs and moda cakes and moda charms......and I birthed five children......I currently belong to far too many on-line social groups to keep up with them......Someone said, "Variety is the spice of Life". Yes, it is. Of course, this can be my downfall, too, because sometimes, you just have to make a choice, you don't get them all......"you can't afford to have them all---what would you do with them?" I always go for the variety pack, the Reader's Digest, the 64 crayons. What do you think that means? Currently I am reading a book titled, "Snoop" by Sam Gosling, Ph. D. The subtitle being, "What your stuff says about you". My husband gets frustrated trying to buy me things because I never like the same thing over and over......I change quite frequently. Contrarily, Sam says that everyone has a recurring theme about them, you just need to be able to decifer it from amongst all the decoys to throw you off........This new knowledge intrigues me as I search for more understanding of myself and others. Yesterday, I found myself sewing together a lot of scraps for me to ponder and decide how to make them into acceptable art......this is what you see today. In some ways, I think our creations may expose us more than we know.......I know it has got me thinking when I go to art shows and look at others' art. Often, I can easily see the person in their art.......sometimes, though, its a complete mystery....perhaps Sam can add some clues for me.....check it out, it's a neat study.
