I have not been a very good blogger of late. Life keeps getting in the way of blogging. I was invited to participate in a blog hop by my good friend Beth (who blogs
here). I was supposed to nominate three more to participate, but I procrastinated too long and couldn't find any one. So any of my regular blogging friends or anyone who is not yet a friend who would like to participate and be one please comment below and I'll add you to the post.
I am supposed to answer four questions:
What am I currently working on? Well. I have several projects going on. The photo above is the one I promised a month or so ago when I expressed my dissatisfaction with my current projects. I got out the Caribbean hand dyes and paired them with white and viola! Beautiful ocean colors that just make me happy, happy, happy!
And they pair so well with these beautiful greys that are so popular and readily available right now.
Another project I am working on was going to be a blog post. I will share it briefly here, but there will be more in the future.
Hexies! I took this class on a whim at my guild's annual quilt academy and had no idea how utterly addictive these are.
The other thing I am working on is my monochrome challenge for Art Quilts Around the World. It will be revealed on the blog tomorrow and I will post here after that. Stay tuned...
How does my stuff differ from others? Probably because of my utter fearlessness to go where others fear to tread. I mix traditional with contemporary with experimental. I love to try new things and incorporate them into old things.
Why do I create what I do? Simple. It's cheaper than therapy. I prefer to make stuff. The alternative? Ax murderer?
How does my writing process work? This is a tough one. I am a writer by trade and training. I love to write. Sometimes I include poems and short stories on my blog. I would include food, but I fear it would take over. I made a decision when I started this blog that I would focus on fiber and visual art, so adding some photography is ok. I will save the food for another forum.
Now thanks to
Beth, I have given up more personal information than I am really comfortable with. I am trying to be a better blogger, but I have teens living with me and I would rather make stuff than write about it right now. I have a couple of posts drafted, so I expect to improve. Now I have to dress in my mother-of-the-teen clothes and go to back to school night. -back soon!
