Another Crayola circle.
I am at a loss as to any fabric work to show here...but I will keep looking. I thin perhaps I stopped hand sewing when Riley passed (my black lab) and then did mending but not much else.
There were a few fits and starts that never amounted to anything. I see them when I sort things or do some sewing machine area cleanup. Mending work pants...I've done quite a bit of that.
I can't truly say I've lost interest in fabric art....possibly I have moved on in what I like and the cloth in my closet or storage tubs no longer fits those ideas???? I don't know....but I think perhaps going backwards to Baltimore Style hand appliqué might be where I end up- back to where I began.
Did I mention here I found the hand appliquéd blocks I was looking for? I did and don't really like them very much anymore. They are the same....I am not.
Watched almost all of the TiVo recorded Vienna Blood (PBS). A few more hours and that entire series will have been watched and deleted. I already deleted all of Fargo...I was never really going to watch that. Last to be deleted will be the Hallmark Christmas Movies. Only because I like to watch them and fast forward thru the commercials. Hallmark repeats everything endlessly. I might have gone below 30%.
Nice to have goals....the Daily Colored Pencil Circles here and the TiVo deletions. And my oatmeal and banana for breakfast. My sweet hot tea is waiting and my small dish of daily vitamin and assorted pills. It's Saturday (I thought it was Sunday) so I will settle in to watch the cooking shows when them come on.
Son reports the "Future Weather" includes SNOW........sigh. His iPhone is very very informed. Mine is not.
I know quilters never need encouragement to buy more fabric but an influx of some new fabric might just perk up your creativity. The good thing is you can order online right to your doorstep if you don’t have a quilt shop near you. Get your son or daughter to help you the first time and then you will be good to go! Age is only a number and continuing doing something you enjoy brings meaning to your life. Creativity is beneficial, therapeutic in many ways.
ReplyDeleteJoanne, I too have bins of fabric I associate with a sadness so I understand. In my later years now, I'm trying to get to the bottoms of those bins....hard decisions....... I love your crayon work, keep posting.
ReplyDeleteWhat Anonymous said. Buying a little fabric is a great motivator - something pretty or Christmas-y, doesn't have to be a lot, look at the fat quarters
