About me...
I'm at home with two small boys. I spend most of my time making up silly songs, drinking coffee, chatting with friends, and performing random acts of craft. Sometimes I relish this 'domestic' season of my life and sometimes I just want to run far, far away. I get a kick out of thinking about the meaning of life, being creative in new ways, and dragging other people along for the ride.
I blog at clutterpunk, where you'll find all of the above but mostly the craft.
About my square...
My square has a bit of sashiko around the border, but it was largely free-motion machine embroidered, or 'thread sketched'. I chose this method because it was fun and liberating. Although a natural perfectionist, I'm learning to embrace imprecision and have realistic expectations. Oh, and the Wiggles DVD was coming to an end...
I chose the image and words ('my cup runneth over') because it expresses the core of the person I am learning to be, the person I want to become: someone who is grateful for the abundance of good things; contented in all circumstances rather than envying others for their stuff or abilities; reliant on God's provision; willing to give freely - of time, money, love, ideas.

Gina, I always loved your square and I love it even more now I've read your blurb. Lovely. (and appropriate, word verification for this comment is "creat")
I love the simplicity of your square Gina - the way you have executed the piece is just perfect for the message.
Perfect.
I love your thread sketching Gina & like Lara value your piece more after having read your "bit".
Years late, but I wanted to finish my appreciation of everyone's work. How you made the cups look like they were sketched, instead of painstakingly stitched, is wonderful.
