Am I the only person who feels like they are always behind? I keep my planner up to date and check things off, but still there are always these other interesting things that get me distracted.......like FiberArts/MixedMedia I just joined. Its is such a great site with so many inspiring photos of other fiber and mixed media artists works. I spent several hours on it and barely made a dent.
Since last week I have also begun working on something that has interested me for sometime.....stitch magnets that are cute AND hold my laying tool, needles, and possibly scissors. These shown below are constructed of various combinations of chipboard buttons, sequins and buttons. They all will have those really strong earth magnets on the back. These were not designed to hold scissors but the larger ones will definitely hold a laying tool. I just received an order for some paper clay to experiment with for fun magnets to hold the scissors. Will post photos when I have something worth showing.
Yesterday I taught the first day of a pilot class for Stripes Galore and that was fun. It always takes many hours for me to get ready for a pilot though. For those of you who might not be familiar with pilot classes, they are basically a "practice class". The students give feedback on the the written instructions, the diagrams, the length of time allowed for each section of the design, the amount of materials included in the kit and other less tangible things.....all of which greatly help to make future classes successful.
So, to get back to where I began....I accomplished a fair amount but still have a lot of "un-done" items on my planner pages with NO CHECK MARKS BY THEM.
But...to the important part.....FREE DRAWING:
On February 23rd (my birthday) I will have a drawing for an INSTRUCTION BOOK AND CANVAS KIT....the winner's choice of any design listed under DESIGNS, ETC ONLINE CATALOG. I will draw one or more names, depending on how many comments I get. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post with your kit preference between now and midnight on February 22nd and I'll draw a name(s) on February 23rd.
