When I learned how to pull needle and thread as a child I could never have imagined the overwhelming joy that would come to me as a result. So many things in life are difficult and seem so full of struggle; we each have the opportunity to search our interior landscape for the places, occasions and activities that will lead us into true happiness and peace of mind. My current dance with Temari is filled with the sweetness of creative juices. Each new thread ball exciting and unique in design and color way. Discoveries stepping forward as the needle and thread show the way.
