Make A Wish!
Barbara’s birthday today! We once shared a room and now are separated by over nine hundred miles. I remember when we were very young, that my sister read from a large stack of Archie Comic books. You know Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie and Jug-head? Well, I discovered a 1958 copy of “Laugh” in a shop and it sparked one of those memories that transport you back in time. Two sisters, reading comic books in their room before lights out. I can’t wait to hear her reaction when she opens her package from me today with the Laugh surprise inside. Happy Birthday Barbara!

Yesterday’s flurries were especially fascinating to watch. Rather than falling, the flakes seemed to float in all directions, suspended in the cold crisp air. Snowy flakes are among my favorite scenes to watch from the studio window when working. It was especially helpful in setting the cozy mood as I continue to tweak a “secret” Christmas art group. The afternoon shifted back to sketching and dreaming up ideas for the new fall fabric line. Later today I am looking forward to sharing the process and approach that I follow when developing art for fabric and embroidery with www.totallystitchin.net of Baby Lock. The flurry continues, more art and more snow is on its way, might need to wax up those sled blades!

Back to the drawing board – literally, I am back to drawing today and back to focusing on 2010-fall fabric line. Love photoshop-ing existing art but have to get pencil in hand today and regain focus. Hmmmn – I can almost smell the new art group brewing!

Wow 2010, new year, new decade, new blog. I am STIll trying to catch up on work projects, which poured in around November and recuperate from Christmas activities. Amidst the work is the continuing saga of organizing the workspace. Too much stuff and I’m the messy artist type. However, the piles of catalogs, where I do all Christmas shopping, are the main obstacle! Eeks, speaking of pouring in.
