I am an Air Force brat, a self-taught artist, and a part-time mom these days. I work out my artistic demons by making stuff and trying to find the humor when things go wrong. I have a spouse, two grown kids and cats that barf and bring horrible things into the house, so things do go wrong. My youngest is in college and only home during breaks, so I'm almost an empty nester, alone more than not and trying to figure out this new stage of life. Time to make a mess.

I did it! I finished a project!!
The self-kicking (and a little help from a cyber pal :-) got me in gear. I pulled out a piece that I started ages and ages ago and just couldn't figure out how to finish. I tore the studio apart (it's really quite dreadful), pulling out fabric, tearing it, painting, stitching, re-thinking process when the stitching broke - argh - but getting it done. I think this is actually my favourite of all the pieces I've made, in part because it's different and out-of-the-box for me. The pics are quickies without proper lighting, but I promised myself that I'd post a photo today, so I'm doing it. What a great feeling! I should have whomped on my own behind much sooner.
