Making a special space

Last week I was reflecting on sacred as part of the Unravelling course I am on. 

Some of my fellow unravellers had special places within their home 

and that made me think about where I could create the same. 

 I realised that I am never in one space consistently but wanted to create a talisman that I can draw strength from wherever I write

 - which I try to do every morning.

Why not quilt a mat that will always be under my journal? I thought. 

Maybe it can store up good thoughts to appear on the page? Well you get my drift.

 Long story cut short - I was searching amongst bookmarked pages when I was reminded of 

a 'ticker tape' quilt I had seen on Flickr.

Below is my effort - using favourite fabrics and colours.

 Now I write on it (not literally) every morning.

Maybe I need one under my keyboard too!

Here's to special places.
