hello to 2007

Happy New Year!
Yes, I know in my last post I said I probably wouldn’t be posting until mid-month…this is partly true.
I am happily taking down Christmas, wiping shelves, organizing and relaxing in the evenings. I am just too eager to share what I have been working on and will post images as I move closer to completion.
Although I won’t reveal exactly what the end result will look like, I will say that I am doing my version of the traditional silhouette image. I have freezer stenciled the image and have “collaged” bits of fabric and thread. I am just so happy to be working on something that I love…it brings a lot of joy to me to be creating again. It’s funny how this image reminds me of “Jennie’s Hat”…I discovered this last night as I was staring down at my work- one of my very favorite children’s books, by the way!
At first I was going to dig into a stack of vintage patterns I received, but decided to challenge myself and begin some work I have had swimming in my head.
I hope you are all well in 2007 so far…thanks for even checking in on me and even CARING what I am doing. It’s such a delight to draw so much inspiration from so many…
