Time to add 07' creations

New friend in the castle

Where I go so does my new friend Pajewa. My daughter has 6 cats and when the grand old man of the group died there has been a constant battle (IN THE HOUSE) for dominance. Pajewa was at the bottm of the chain and was not allowed to the food dishes, comfortable sleeping places or potty box. Grandmas house is the last escape for her too. She is as old as I am so it works out fine, except forn cleaning potty boxes. Now I am off to see here and whatb everyone is doing.

fabric flying

I have been gone for so long, in the hands of the medical community, that now I have escaped I once more have found the paths back home...but boy is ths castle a mess. Art on fabrics has still captivated my muses. My creative mind was never attacked ,thank goodness , and the fabrics are flying. Now let me see if I can remember how to get pictures in here. OK..I did just turn 76 you know. Give me some slack. I will figure it out again.

Catchup

Winter has been kind to us this year while the rest of the United States gets covered with more snow then they need. Strange weather patterns when it snows in Nevada and I walk in the sun with only a small covering of white. BUT, it has been cold. Luckily although I have problems physically my creative mind keeps clicking on producing more ideas then I can finish so whatever the winter has to offer I am warm and cozy in my nest.

I think I have mentioned before how my over active creating brain causes me to become overloaded with GOT TO frustration. So untrue, but I could not control this emotion until I read this message from the Universe from TUT. (an interesting web site.) It said: "All that you Must do you have already done, The rest is Optional." That did it. Now I create as much overload as I desire and finish projects when I am motivated to.

Sewing is not my thing but now that I am working with fabrics it becomes a necessity to finish anything. Now that I am controlled by optional I am practicing sewing skills and buying accessories to make my job easier and am slowly learning to enjoy the process rather then the finished product.

I would like to do the whole color wheel in these bags. I should be able to manage dye pigment when I get arouind. For this one I used blue, bluegreen and blue violet. I was stumped when I got to the strap but found a woven belt that had a blue line in the middle of it. I cut off the metal and had my strap.

Some unrecorded bags. A Christmas present for my Erah. 

I find that the shinnier the fabric the better the stamping shows up. I hope to combine into an under the water theme tote but now I am debating on the materiaos and colors to companion here.
