Working...kind of

I love when inspiration strikes and hits you, BAM!, right in the face. That's what happened to me today. I interloaned some books from the library to aid me in my creative endeavors...I am so excited about this. I love when I finally figure out what I want to make/do. I am hoping these books come soon. I did remember to write down my ideas this time. Usually what happens is I get an idea, I make steps towards the completion of that idea but somehow forget parts along the way. This time I won't forget why I interloaned dog books and flower books and a book on Japanese sewing.

On another note, I am so happy to have a shop vac again! I get to go clean out some space in the basement for making messes with dye and wax. Those are the best messes, ever. I miss dyeing fabric and doing batik work. For some reason I always HAVE to do this once spring peeks its head around the corner and winks at me. I am just hoping that I remember to take pictures of the process and the making of messes for this blog. I always get so caught up in the making that I forget to photograph things.

I also checked out prices on wool roving, looked at advice on starting an Etsy shop AND started generating ideas for new artwork. Cool. Plus I did the dishes, washed the laundry and washed and made BOTH boys' beds. Sweet, right? Tomorrow Eli wants to make cookies. I think he is a very, very smart kid. Genius, in fact. He gets it from his mother.
