My dad, a man on a mission.........

I admire people with limitless energy and the motivation to see a project through to the end.  I seem to be lacking.  Distractions everywhere I look, unfinished projects, a day lacking structure.  The Sherbet Patch has gone off the boil lately, as I have struggled with motivation while working from home.  Boundaries have become blurred.  And I need to get back on track.  

My dad is 66.  He works 6 days a week, sometimes for 11 hours, is self employed, motivated, and will always find another project to do on the back of a long day at the factory unit.  He is my inspiration.  

The Owl and the Pussycat.........

The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea in a beautiful, peagreen boat........
My favourite, childhood poem, illustrated beautifully in a 1970's book of nursery rhymes, long since disappeared.  This is a book I remember vividly, a bedtime book, pages dogeared and worn soft by use.  And this is a poem I am going to use as inspiration for Sherbet Patch projects ~  how beautiful would a textile canvas be of this poem ~ the waves, the sea, the umbrella ~ a lazy cat and rowing owl ~ and what a great excuse for fabric buying!!!

The very wonderful LIBERTY of London
