Update

So I actually DID purchase a new sketchbook for the coffee table. It was not exactly what I was looking for, but then again I do live in a small town with only a Meijer and a Wal-Mart and an art store that should really be called Scrapbooking-R-Us. But, I found a square one, cool, but will have to do something about the cover. It is not very aesthetically pleasing. Fortunately this is easily remedied! Anyway the doodling will start tomorrow, which is so exciting. I love thinking of the possibilities with this book. Maybe Fridays will have to be the day that I share my favorite entries.

On a side note, I really, really, really want to go see some art in a gallery somewhere. Soon. I am going through withdrawals. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's boredom. Maybe it's both. Who knows.

Also, check out this lady's work right here. I love it. I am going to make a quilt for my bed inspired by one of these lovely paintings...or maybe a floor cloth or rug. Wouldn't that be sweet! I dug through my modest fabric stash today (a-hem) and found oodles of solid fabrics just waiting for me to do something, anything to them. I mean YARDS of fabric people. YARDS. My head is spinning with all of the possibilities. So much fabric, so little time! Good thing I am teaching a fabric class that I will HAVE to be FORCED to make an example project for. Sigh. It is a sacrifice that I am willing to make.
