Magazines & Printed Fabric ...


While visiting with my folks yesterday, I decided to go through a few totes that they have been nice enough to store for me in their basement. This morning, while sipping coffee - The feeling was like Christmas morning - How had I forgotten about all this great stuff? Printed fabric, unfinished ornaments to paint, paintbrushes that have never been opened etc ... I was thrilled ... I am the only one that loves a great surprise that you do not see coming?

    Oh, that was certainly a nice surprise, and I can see why - you have some gorgeous fabrics to play with! I just love those unexpected "presents". My mother gave me a bag full of lace and doilies that my Grandmother crocheted, and now I have so much gorgeous pieces to incorporate into my work. The best thing is that those pieces have a history. And that always adds value to a finished piece, don't you think? :)

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated
