Catching up
Comments (0) Oh this poor blog! I really didn’t intend to ignore it so much but somethings just can’t be helped. We’ve been a mighty busy around here with lots of family stuff, business stuff, and Advent/Christmas activities. So what I have here is a bunch of little random stuff, just to catch myself up.
A few weeks ago most of our household came down with a horrible flu – was it the swine version? No confirmation on that. It was just in the ‘really not fun’ category. But when I came out of that tunnel of rottenness, I suddenly started having ideas for projects. Woo-hoo! Dried up creativity has left the building!
On the topic of inspiration, I went to Joann’s yesterday and picked up an issue of “Sew Somerset” and I’m really diggin’ it. Lots of cool ideas and very inspiring. Reason I was at Joann’s was to get some cord for making brown scapulars for church. They came out pretty cool.
I finished a piece up in November. I originally created it for another show but didn’t’ make the deadline due to the monster job of the summer. At the moment it’s hanging out in downtown Northville, in a gallery window with several other pieces from my art group.
The other fun thing I’ve been playing with is this little-bitty camera that I received as an early birthday present. It’s digital and takes not perfect photos, which is what I love about it.
For the most part our boys keep me busy all day long and I haven’t had a whole lot of extra time for the art. And the actual paying graphic design jobs always take precedence over the fun art as well. But hey we are grateful to have those paying jobs – so I am not complaining!
