Although not originally intended for textile art, it so fits the way many quilters and textile artists go about their work. Of course, it would fit other creative endeavors as well!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-11253093766467594632015-11-20T13:13:39.706-06:002015-11-20T13:13:39.706-06:00Moodling is a great word - I'm officially adop...Moodling is a great word - I'm officially adopting it as of now.

I like moodling to describe things like embroidery or hand quilting--hands engaged, but requiring little thought for the activity, so the mind just wanders around. <br /><br />Since most of the ornaments on Aunt Peaches are from yarn, each of them would be perfect moodling activities. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-44413187823775840462015-11-15T09:01:21.957-06:002015-11-15T09:01:21.957-06:00:) Aunt Peaches has a colorful approach!

My favorite parts are the pom pom branches.<br /><br />I found the term moodling several years ago on a quilting blog and commandeered it to describe my favorite activities!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-83593644435599560842015-11-15T02:24:05.180-06:002015-11-15T02:24:05.180-06:00Moodling....seems like percolating--the word we us...Moodling....seems like percolating--the word we used in a writing class I took. It means to do other stuff and let your brain sort run in the background till the "aha" moment finally arrives. I think I like moodling too. It implies that you aren't folding clothes or washing dishes or (ick no!) dusting or the other mundane things that need doing. I'd much rather lie in a hammock or under under a quilt and moodle through. Yes, that's my new go-to when I need some creative ideas.<br /><br />Are you sure there's a tree under there? I really think it's a stack of diminishing size boxes with everything packed and piled and perfectly placed. (How about that alliteration?) Really, it would have to be an oak tree to handle all the ornaments, but I'll give her this much: it's stunning. It gives me the idea that using EVERY ornament I own may be something to try after all. The more I look at those pompom limbs, the more I want to make a few or 10.
