Back in My studio June 21st, 2006

The Flower on a cutting that Sharon gave me

Long time no write…when I finished the Katrina Quilts I…

Did some of the backlog of house work.

A good clean up of my studio.

I spent some time organizing my beads and charms into a new storeage system, more about that later.

I spent some lovely time in my Garden…the temperatures were cooling as we moved into Autumn after a long hot summer and I enjoyed being out there digging while I could.

I painted the shelves in the Laundry.

My Son left home…I wanted to be excited but this is the third time that he has left home so its taken me a while to beleive that this time it might be for good…he’s a lovely young man but there comes a time when off spring should leave the nest lol….

The day after Sam left, my car broke down and the repairs would have cost more than the car was worth….being without a car was a bit of a setback and was starting to get me down when a friend asked if I would like to “car sit” for a few months?…would I, yes I would, gives me time to save some money to buy one for myself and as a bonus it is a Zippy little car, light on petrol and nice to drive…ooooh what a difference a car makes, my daughter is sick of hearing me say how lovely it is to have a car lol.

With my son’s leaving home my life comes to a cross road…a time to rest and take stock of where I am at and where I would like my life to go from here….Do I need a new challenge? Sharon thinks that I do and has challenged me to join her in posting 100 details for 100 days …I am accepting her challenge and tonight I have created a new catagory which I have called 100 days 100 details and posted the first detail so I will be on the same day as Sharon..Thank you Sharon, I do need a challenge.

Whilst I have not been in my studio I have had the little knitted shapes that I started last year spread out on my lounge room floor…I have finished knitting the 350 bits that I need to make a lap rug, I have them stitched into pairs and have started stitching them into units of 4.

Day 1 June 21st, 2006

Today
Sharon started a series of Posts “100 details for 100 days”, I spent the afternoon with Sharon, she has challenged me to Post 100 details in 100 days too and she will be delighted in the morning when she reads that I have accepted her challenge…yes Sharon you read that right I have accepted your challenge and here is detail 1 posted today so that I will be in sink with you.

To get started I have gone back to the project that got me started into Crazy Quilting, this detail is one of the seams on the Vest that I made in November 1984.

day 001

Stitched with Rayon thread…short lengths of chain stitch worked in green with pink Lazy Daisies stitched in the spaces, create a simple vine…Lazy Daisies are made by working detached chain stitch in a circle and adding a colonial knot or bead for the centre.
