In reply to saundra weed. Thank you, Saundra!! So well said about the "non-thinking" projects. I also love quilting, knitting, and all kinds of embroidery. Spinning wool is also relaxing!

In every class I take from you I learn more than I ever dreamed I could. I learn not just techniques, but I learn that I am more capable than I ever dreamed I am. You inspire the best in each of us with your expert lessons and gentle guidance throughout each class. Thank you, Paivi, for being brave and sharing your life adventure with us. You hold a special place in my heart.

Your comments are always so inspiring. And every time I get one of your e-mails I feel like I’m visiting an old friend. I love hearing about your other projects….stitching, knitting, etc. I think all artists need to have a “mechanical” non thinking project in the works,. Something that we enjoy, keeps us productive, and lets our mind re-new while our hands are busy. My “go-to” projects are quilting , knitting, and fabric manipulation.

I took your Imagine Monthly 2016 Fall and learned so much! Still practicing those lessons. I have noticed that my work is expanding and creating from my own imagination is somewhat easier the more I work. It really expanded my creative side. I am hoping to sign up for another lass soon Thanks for giving me this opportunity.
