Fitting it would be S today, I started having sinus pain, when I returned from Virginia, yesterday. I am behind on commenting on R posts, but I will catch up.
So, S is for sewing; I have been sewing on paper now, for a while. I started to make a journal out of a
calender, due to this amazing class on line. Patty has other classes, as well. I haven't finished my book, it is still a work in progress. One thing she mentions in class as you gather supplies and begin your page, is to work intuitively. Sometimes a theme will present itself. I love sewing paper and have made cards as well. My blog banner is from a card I made. I was thinking of Spring and we had to reset our clocks. I always think of the line Spring forward, Fall back. This is why there is a 4 on my house, 4ward. I am trying to start over, with my creativity, not look so much back. There have been a lot of signs that this is the path, I should take. I should at least explore finding a creative job. The ones in my past seem to lead me to this door. I am going to make some items and submit them to the calls n' challenges at www.stampington.com
They have many magazines, the ones that really speak to me: Somerset Life, Sew Somerset and the
Green Craft magazine.
Serendipity moments have occurred that make me want to explore this path, further. My sinuses are a bit better, time to move. I thought it would be appropriate for S to keep this short n' sweet!
*Happy Earth Day; off to clean up the neighborhood, trash that is!

iron on paper at your local Big Box store. Print it and then iron it on fabric, great look! What a wonderful gift of memories!
thanks for visiting the blog. i love your sewn artwork and you should definitely pursue the somerset series. i too have thought about submitting, but feel intimidated. maybe we should make a pact to do it together and see what happens!

Yes, maybe we need to remind us other to keep
trying and what do we have to lose. Nothing, I don't want to regret it someday! I will visit
you; Thank you for your kid words! I, too feel
intimidated~ Okay, I will make a pact with you!
