I haven’t written a post in a while.
My day job is always busiest in January and
February and I honestly haven’t felt very creative lately.
I find myself constantly reminding my brain
that I must persist and honor any creative impulse.
You might remember from back at the new year that
persist was my chosen word for the year. With that in mind, I have been experimenting a bit on
“SuperBaby” my Babylock Destiny sewing machine; while not really making
projects I have made some stitch samples.
Honestly, they make me feel a bit melancholy because while I have always
stitched out samples on my embroidery machines, I used to give them ‘by the bag
full’ to my mother who made table toppers, pot holders, etc. from many of
them.
She’s gone now, so I’m sometimes
at a loss for what to do with my sample stash.
Here are a few things which have been under my needle,
mostly Valentine Day themed.
A new design from a recent upgrade.
And a mug rug for my sister.
Having taught our printing class again at Artistic Artifacts
recently and looking ahead to an open studio class in April,
I
hope to get back to using some paint on fabric again soon.
