PLAID OVERLOAD !!!!!

I have vowed to rid my "special" room of fabric scraps and I am proud to say I have almost succeeded.  I did throw out a lot of scraps but had to keep those special flannel shirt scraps and have worked hard to put them to good use.


Almost two dozen pillows and a few shirts later, I am happy to say I am now done with plaid.  I have however purchased some new fabric for some other pillows I plan to make and am now anxious to get started on those, so not done with pillows yet.

January is always a busy month for me, auction submissions, magazine and newspaper articles, display pieces and everything that comes with the upcoming art show season and this year I have upped the ante and added several applications for vintage markets.

I have always heard you need to create a life you don't need a vacation from and I have found that life.  I now not only get to spend my time creating anything I feel like doing, but am also spending so much time with people who also create their dreams.

My kids get me and to prove it I was blessed with some Christmas presents to allow me to shop my favorite store this month and like anything in Montana I have to travel to get there (but at least this trip isn't four hours) but it is always worth the trip.  I needed to acquire something just for me as my Christmas present.



Not only was this an excellent gift, but also an inspiration for my next project.  Stay tuned as only "time" will tell what it'll be.
