Wow! Where do I begin? My 'zoning' is continuing....it is amazing how emotionally draining it really is to completely go through things! One of the zones I just tore through was the Craft Zone! ...oh my...I'm sure you crafters out there know exactly my expiration exasperation in doing that! Not only do certain crafts/patterns signify certain times in your life, but it really makes you put that mirror up to yourself! It exposes something of yourself....
I've learned that I'm still intrigued with 'lettering', color, crocheting & knitting (I can hear a sigh of relief out there!!!), old fashion quilt patterns, painting (still really want to dig into water color), home made journals, book art, and a strong urge to do 'jar art'? After all, when you really take a look at some of your jars your throwing away or recycling..it really gets you thinking!
I'm no longer intrigued with beads, fabric art, art quilts, and crazy quilt (which includes embroidery). I suppose it's a good thing that this list is shorter than the first. Needless to say I didn't throw too much away..and even have some 'Quilting Arts' magazines to trade if anyone is interested?
Now to the 'ring thing'! After days of trying to figure out the format of getting that darn nabbing ring on my blog. It was a simple format error of clicking a config box in Typepad..showing text (verses picture) which with our beloved host Anne's help I will get that nice little ABC's picture soon. She has been such a great help and very patient with me. But I didn't want to post my letter picture until I had the ring up! After three days of thinking and looking..I don't know why I was at such a stand still for about three days.....
...but here it is:
Ohhh.. good word to start the new year off with! Hey, don't get rid of your beads! I gave away a big box of mine way back in 84 and of course there were some really nice ones in it. I wished I had lugged that box around the decades to 2004 when I recalled the beads I no longer have. What is *wrong* with that statement?
