Even More Gifts

‘Tis the season, right? Well, I had my treatment on Monday. I was pretty sick during it and the IV had to be reinserted twice, so it was not my favorite day. And, though it took longer for me to get through it, I had the pleasure of Angie’s company for a couple of hours. [...]

More about Gifts

I have been working on gifts for the staff at my infusion center and one of the nurses at the free clinic. I’ve been working on the totes and I’ve completed the collaged quilts that are going to adorn the front of the totes. To the left are two of the three completed quilties. Three [...]

Art, as promised!

This week, while I was recovering, I regrouped much faster than I anticipated. This was good news, because this weekend Art Unraveled starts. And Tracey and Andrea are all coming into town to play! We are all having dinner tonight and Angie will join us. In other news, I think I mentioned that I’m going [...]

First Commission

I got my first commission request for the pouches. Shirley McCutcheon (who is in the current issue of Somerset Memories!) asked me to make a bag for her Garmin Nuvi GPS. She preferred blue. Well, I was so excited to start on this project that I have done little else art-wise since she ordered it. [...]

Feeling artistic

I’m feeling a lot more artistic today than I was last evening. I have spent the morning working on my projects for the mixed media for fabric class with Joggles. On this Thursday, my class will have its last session, so I wanted to try to get some work done on it before then. But [...]

Catching Up!

I had my treatment this week, so much of the week was spent either preparing for the treatment by getting a lot of art out or recovering from the treatment. On Monday, I spent the day working on some canvases. I created some textural backgrounds to use in collage or to paint with. I thought [...]

Art Class at Fran’s

Well, let’s see. The last time I posted was on Thursday. Thursday evening, we met our friends at Chili’s for dinner. Jeff and Kiran have three kids: Julie -11, Miranda – 8, and Cody – 4. It was great to see them! I’ve known Jeff almost as long as I’ve known Dave, since he is [...]

Sometimes It’s All About Me

I read this quote yesterday in The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron: “Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen to them.” Shakti Gawain And it holds so true. Especially for someone like me, with a chronic illness. Despite the fact that my illness is mostly, thank the Universe, [...]
