Starting a new project?

This could be the start of a new project full of creative adventures. Or not. Then it's just a piece of (pretty?) embroidery.

I based it on an image from the lovely lovely lovely book of illustrations "A Friend is Someone Who Likes You" by Joan Walsh Anglund. I have always adored that little book, but even more now that i recently read the story behind it, how Joan came up with the idea for the book. In short, she had just moved to New York (hey, i relate!) and was without her familiar surroundings and no longer among old and comfortable friends (hey, again, i relate!). She felt alone in the big city until she realized that she was not alone at all - that there were friends everywhere - but often we shut ourselves away from the friendships that surround us just waiting for us to 'notice' them. That's when she started jotting down the ideas that later got to be the book A Friend... Her husband found the notes and encouraged her to do a children's book. I'm happy he did!

Ok, so i'm gonna work out some ideas and if it does all come together and turn into my new big project, of course you all will be the first to know about it!
