Trying to find my inner artist...

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.

Shopping Challenges

Sigh. I was so excited to buy fabric and a new pattern at the quilt show yesterday in addition to a few bits to add to the stash. I opened the bundled collection today to read the instruction packet for the quilt, but it's for the wrong quilt design! The shop doesn't have a web site or email address, so I've got to call and try to weasel the right pattern out of them over the phone. I should wait a day or so. I imagine anyone I might catch today might not have had much sleep after having to pack up from the quilt show yesterday and be in the mood for such a call. I should have this ironed out by the time I finish the current project.
