didn’t want to let too much time go by between posts, so i am writing before i dash off in an hour for the local library storyhour! my mom gave me a darning foot last week and i am in love! so far i’ve only used it on scraps to learn how to use it, but it is addictive and so much fun to use! i’m going to whip up some potholders and a fabric baby book for granddaughter…i’ve got some ladybug prints and some ants on red checks that i think would be fun for both projects…
the wind has been blowing like crazy here and doesn’t seem to want to stop…it’s driving everyone crazy (me included!) with allergies…it also was 85 degrees yesterday, and supposed to be 87 today…so i guess maybe a little wind isn’t so bad…
i put together a brand spanking new office chair for my sewing/painting area the other day…it’s nice and comfy and ready for hours of sewing or painting…i’ve been looking at california painters and their works…i’ve decided to haul my camera with me when i go out from now on because i want to start a series of landscape paintings…i’ve never done landscape paintings and would like to give it a whirl…i don’t think mine will be realistic per say…probably more abstract focusing on the colors…i have a super nice nighttime photo that i’m anxious to try…gonna start small and work my way up!
well, almost time to go…take it easy everyone and remember to smile today!
