In a world where I had more time and money I could get a lot of creative things accomplished. It's funny, but at the end of our lives no one ever looked back and said "I wish I worked more." So in 2009, while reality may take precedent, if it were filled with play days and I was one of those women who got to stay home and spend her husband's money this is what I'd do with it:
This is one of Denyse Schmidt's Improvisational Patchwork classes in Bridgeport, CT where she promises her students will "create exciting, rut-breaking work that will change the way we think about color, patchwork, and our own creativity."
I would invite my cousin Cecily and we'd put to use all those creative genes that our mothers gave us, we'd become better artists and better quilters and closer cousins.
I haven't quilted or sewn anything in a long time, and I haven't painted anything that I love in a few months either. I need a jump start to the underlying creativity whose surface I'm only floating on right now. I need a creative swizzle stick to stir things up for me. Cecily...come rescue me!
Can Aunts come to this quilting bee? My creativity needs a jump start, too. Love you!Laurel
ReplyDeleteYes, Aunts are allowed, moms too. But not ants, they are not invited!
ReplyDeleteI'm coming, I'm coming. Just let me put my cape on so that I can leap tall buildings and fly down the coast to you.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, Linds. I would LOVE to go to one of her workshops with you. Can you imagine what a blast we would have!? And if our moms joined us!? It's almost too much fun for a gal to think about.
I miss you tons! Call me and we'll talk craftiness.
Oh, and P.S. so glad you love your tote bag. So very, very glad.
