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.

Part 1 finished!

I finished piecing the quilt top that I've been working on for a few weeks. It's small, but time intensive. It's wrinkled because I have a cat. Sheesh. Now I've got to get the proper material for the middle layer and put this pup together.

Today I did a bit of email box clean up and found myself distracted, going through the myriad of email I receive trying to entice me into buying more magazines or instructional DVDs. There are so many things I want to try, but I don't want to overwhelm myself as I did last year. It's time to review my cyber mentor's good advice and keep the fun level up, the stress level low.
