I just last week jumped into a mini blog world of creative mamas, who write a small musing on a given theme and then share once a month. Check it out here: on Edison Rex, crafted by the fabulous and astounding Maeg Yosef, artist mama extraordinaire.
The great thing is that I get challenged to be introspective and then to share my thoughts. The other great thing is to hear what other artist mamas think on the same thought. And the third great thing is that it invites visitors!
I’ve reached a point in my grown-up-ness, which I think might be related to the magical number 40, in which I’ve really accepted who and where I am. I’ve accepted that I’m doing the best I can with what I have, and that that’s enough. I got the warning email last night, from Maeg, that our creative mama post would go live this am, which I thought was a nice courtesy. This morning, I’m realizing that means she’s inviting her new friends into my living room of blog space, and I didn’t clean it last night! It’s just it’s own musty stale self of my thoughts from a few weeks ago.
Well- I’m ok with that- it’s honest and true. I have been busy making things, and will now give you a little taste of my current works in progress.
Known as English Paper Piecing or Mosaic Patchwork, this is a time consuming hand work project that brings me great joy.
Another intricate project, machine paper-pieced trees, ready for their binding, sleeve and label.
The sticky note is the to do list on this one: sleeve and label is all that's left! I love this color study and am eager to do more. It's hard to choose where to direct my time!
Thanks for visiting- enjoy your stay and come again soon. Having company coming is delightful, and means I might even have incentive to get a bit more finished product completed for sharing!
