Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Here’s to pressing on regardless of our circumstances!
What I so love about textile art is its realm of color and texture…eye candy that inspires.

It can suck your mojo, if you’re not a fan of the heat. Thankfully, I am. It sounds like you’re pressing on…good for you, Laura!
Speaking of yarn…I have some lovely crocheted pieces, both at home and my office, by our pal L. Marie. Like yourself, she’s very talented.

Considering the heat of the current season, I figure those projects might be on hold until the Fall. 😉

It does. But I have so many skeins of yarn. And people keep giving me their old yarn! I’ll have to make an afghan or several.

You’re right about choosing fabric, then setting it aside for the proper time. In my defense, I am a purging fabricaholic in that I periodically sort through yardage that hasn’t been touched for awhile and give it away. This length of material has managed to survive several of those and I’m thrilled to begin using it!

In a strange way, I’m comforted by the fact that you, too, are feeling the same across town in Timrod Park! 😀
Thanks for the compliment on the potholders. They’re actually part of a b-day gift for my cuzzin.
Back in the day, when I had 3 jobs, one of them was selling these and other fiber art items at craft fairs…lots of work, not much payback, but if ya love doing it, that’s the key. Do you sell your art/crafts at any fairs around here?

But potholders are always necessary, not to mention beautiful! And I just love how fabric can be chosen, then set aside, for the proper time, sort of how time sometimes accrues for other projects.
Not to mention how certain projects proffer tangible evidence of our (he)art! And that quote at the end is perfect. 😉

Same here, Laura. The heat has us holed up in this house as if it were winter. Lol! The pot holders are fantastic!!! Are they for sale?

Welcome Jane!
I agree about the ‘ripple effect’ though never had a name for it till now. I sometimes dabble in pastels just for the feel of it. The fact that it is not anywhere close to being my (he)artistic medium of choice makes for a low pressure creative playtime.
(Thanks for the subscribe, too)
