i interrupt cocktail hour to bring you this post.
patterns are rattling around in my nutcracker.
scraps are everywhere.
i’m mostly finished with the videos for SEWN. but the hamster wheel in my head is still going round and round.
churning out patterns. and ideas.
{oy. i’m such a broken record over here. playing the same song over and over. you’ll forgive me. i know you will!}
so i’m just gonna roll with it. and keep making stuff. except right now i’m going outside because there’s a fizzy strawberry alcoholic beverage calling my name. and also a new book! which i’ll tell you about tomorrow.
Books-I’m reading He’s Gone by deb Calettinand really enjoying it! Excellent character descriptions. Next in my book que is The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gamin, who I think is da bomb. Easily crosses over from youth to adult prose!
Donna to quote Dan eldon, the journey is the destination
Where’s the hamster? He will be missing his wheel! OK, just one questions. Does this ‘book’ we are going to end up with have a ‘purpose’ … or is this simply purposeless fun? Need to prepare my mind as it tends to prefer purpose, however can be talked into no purpose given time. Good lines like – ‘just pretty’, a collector’s item (my brain likes that one), unique patterns with no particular use (my brain could also accept that one with a little coaxing). Just sayin’ ….. have fun -== or that’s it … it’s just supposed to be FUN. OK, brain is happier now – fun is purposeful! xodonna
How many days until July 4th? We don’t have to wait until it is dark outside do we?
What a co-inky-dink! I’m headed to the deck right now to enjoy my favorite cocktail,a lemon drop martini…yummmmmmmmmy! I infused the vodka and the simple syrup with lots of lemon zest and it’s amazing! Besides, I need a break from pattern pinteresting! Yikes, that’s a time suck! I’m getting so excited and inspired, can’t wait until Independence Day
Enjoy every second, can’t wait to see what you’ve rolled out for us in ‘sewn’, those scraps look very enticing and inspiring. I’ve got a blue ‘fizzy lifting drink’ (favorite line from Willy Wonka circa 70’s) waiting for me. A hugish storm just passed through so we’ve been watching from the garage till just now. I had to go ‘dark’ shut down all the computers for a bit due to heavy lightening and more is on the way we’ve been told. Lighting candles, finding flashlights and hoping we don’t loose power.
