Last year, Larry bought me a new sewing machine.
While paintings are drying
or I am
refocusing,
I sew.
Taking everyday patterns and changing them up.
They become my designs by putting my own dress design
to wonderful sleeves,
or a vintage button where a zipper should be.
There are hundreds of options.
In Dec 2009, at an antique mall in Dallas,I found a corner booth filled with vintage fabrics.
That day, I did not buy anything, but I did dream
about the store all month long.
This past weekend I had the opportunity to go back.
Primed and ready to buy.
As I worked my way into the booth
disappointment crawled into my heart.
2 1/2 yards of fabric was....$110.00!
I have 110 dollars in my account,
it was just the idea that the beautiful textiles
were so over priced.
Once again, I left without buying anything.
Coming home, and using my computer,
I found a delightful site:
I did the leg-work..now YOU have fun!

Take your camera someplace out of the ordinary.
try a new skill,
OR
use a color that you hate in your next project.
