okay. am i working on this piece or is it working on me?
sigh.
let’s review:
day 1: enjoyed collection of and introduction to materials.
day 2: discontent set in. liked the backside better, so back is now the front.
day 3: hate the lace, but like the way layers peek out from under the pink satin camisole as if [...]

no time to work on it today - at least not with needle and thread. but i did wake up thinking about this piece and puzzled about it most of the day. am now thinking i’ll flip it over and make the back the front. like karin, i usually like the back of pieces [...]

this is just not doing anything for me . . . except possibly contributing to the fall funk. which is, of course, not good. (the funk or the contribution) when i launched this one, i looked forward to something marvelous appearing. this was going to be the most amazing experience, my breadcrumb trail out of [...]

starting is often the hardest part of any project for me. have been thinking lately of transparency and layers - in terms of my life. (of course, it’s all about me.) no image in mind or even a vague idea of what to do. no car to run fetch fabrics or inspiration. having thought way [...]

a(nother) week without internet access finds me catching up (again) after enjoying an all-too-short week-long mother/daughter trip to the beaches of hilton head island in south carolina. one of our most favorite spots on earth.

while there, we enjoyed a sunset supper and the full moon from the beach on nearby sea pines:

server issues now seem to be a thing of the past - thank goodness. when i first realized there was a problem last wednesday night, i was frustrated. tried to convince myself that some quiet time would be nice.
it didn’t work.
i missed you.
in cleaning out during my forced electronic exile, i found my old [...]

chemical changes. waning chlorophyll production no longer produces enough green to mask and conceal the spectacular, bold, brilliant colors. it’s how we are, the women on my tree. it’s just how we are.

what if this is FUN? using an xacto knife i’d forgotten i had, i made three cutouts then wrapped one of them using 4 strands of floss (2 of each color). used 4 for no particular reason - certainly not for additional coverage because this fabric doesn’t ravel. that was so much fun, i (ambitiously) [...]

what if . . . is one of my favorite motivational tools. when i’m having a fog-covered, moving-at-the-speed-of-cold-molasses day, i play “what if” with myself and first thing you know, i’m perking again. it’s a little bait-and-switch trick i learned/taught myself as a child.
and it still works like a charm. (used it quite effectively just [...]
