This week I am writing to you from the musical city of Vienna in Austria. After saving up United points and hotel points all year, (free tickets! Whoo-hoo!) we are on a musical tour to celebrate Sam’s scholarship to music school! However we’ve had a sad start to our trip…Sam came down with a terrible viral infection and has been in bed sick for the first 2 days of our 6 day trip. So if you’d like to send him some healing prayers, the poor kid could use some help. What a bummer. Here’s hoping the Danube Blues transform into Radetsky’s March by tomorrow!
I’ve had to rearrange our plans so hopefully he can still get to see some of the highlights of the city early next week before we fly home. Mason and I managed to attend a Vienna Symphoniker concert at MusikVerein last night, and today we toured the State Opera House. We’re going to meet up with a Viennese Facebook quilter friend Tuesday too!
So in travel, as in life, the best laid plans sometimes have to be flexible. Darn it!
I am fascinated by all the articles these days about how to be more creative. They say to make yourself sleep deprived, exercise more, have empty space in your life and get bored, go out in Nature more, etc.
Quilters usually don’t have that problem, do they? They just build up an *awesome* stash (with a little help from eQuilter – *wink*) and then just go play with their fabrics, and Voila! Creativity strikes! The sewing machine beckons!
Now if you have a totally *awesome* stash, and then you get sleep deprived, I wonder what would happen? Personally I like to get a really good night’s sleep and then go rearrange my studio, and then the magic happens.
How about you?
