It was a beautiful day today....I went outside to run some errands in short sleeves. The sun was shining brightly, a gentle breeze, blue skies and no snow in sight. Now, this is December 1st and I live in Maine...this does not exactly compute. But whatever, I'll take it. Here's a picture from my office/studio window...which was wide open....
My mind has been running in several directions today from Christmas decorations, to presents, to thinking about the blogs about not spending any money for a year and wondering if I should consider challenging myself to something like that, to finding out happily that there is a big group of folks out there that make miniature art quilts, to micro organizing my studio.
So as I was pondering all these things I worked on my embroidery floss...
The entire studio looked like the top of the table above, but I finally finished it.
It looks so nice, I don't want to touch it!!!!
But I didn't stop there. Look at the small bead box....
And the double box of sequins plus a few beads...
Then I started on the boutique yarn which I use for embellishing...
I wanted to be able to take small amounts when I go crafting, so I cut up some lightweight boxes and wound yarn around them, two per cards. I still have lots of yarn and ribbon to put on cards...
One of the reasons I am getting things organized in small containers is because I will probably be going south sooner rather than later for a couple months and I really wanted to continue crafting (and blogging). I figure that I will be able to take one small suitcase full of crafting things. Thus, I am working on it.
And about the miniature art quilts. I love small!! I love art quilts!! To find out that I can combine the two AND that there is an audience for them is wonderful. I guess that I only thought that miniature traditional quilts were ''in' and not miniature 'art' quilts. My mind is full of lots of miniature art quilts that I want to make....have to start a journal on all the ideas.
Thanks for stopping by....
Hope your day was great!
