I wanted to write a little about my process and then I realized that that is my process -writing about it-funny how that works. I make lists, lots of lists, some on sticky notes, some on my computer, many years of lists in my journals. I love lists! And I play. I fold paper, I make tiny books that have no value whatsoever, I visit museums and bookstores and I carry my camera with me to collect and filter my ideas. And I collect fabric and paint and tear pictures out of magazines and I have toys and stones from india and vermont and the housatonic river on my window sill. And I spend my non working hours in the company of only those who are important to me. Mostly Mike. And I listen to audio books in my studio......I could spend days in there, emerging only for chili.
I am painting another dresser. This one is going to be red. deep red.
And I am making a scrap quilt. And I am doing a wonderful Sue Garmon BOM.
all this on my days off:)
Love your photos! I make lots of lists, too. There are notes written on pieces of paper all over the place. A little organization on my part would help some. I also carry my camera with me everywhere. *s*
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to work and a great process. I love the picture of your porch and garden. It makes me want to go weed, except it's too hot outside. I also love the scrappy quilt that you've started. I got a template to do a tumbler quilt, which is very similar (http://www.rosiescalicocupboard.com/RosieScrapTumblerTWO.html) and plan to do it one day. I'm almost getting enough scraps now. Love your blog.
ReplyDeletei love your triangle scrap wip.
ReplyDeleteLove the looks of that triangle quilt.
ReplyDeleteI need to make more lists... Like "What was I planning on doing with that bundle of fabric?" "What do we 'need' at the store?"
