Sunday!!!!

So Sunday is here which means tomorrow is back to work. Weekends seem to fly by too quickly when you're having fun!
So here are my cyanotypes so far, but sadly I have them on my get to do later list and though I am looking forward to designing something with them have promised myself that I must first complete some UFO projects.... Trying to semi stay focused which for me is very hard to do! lol lol

Notice my feet in pic....it's just a reminder to myself to take time to appreciate where I am at this stage of my journey and to realize my daily blessings!
(Got this idea from a favorite blog I follow- http://fibraartysta.blogspot.com/
Lynn states in the following in her blog: "Where I Stand Sunday is an ongoing photo essay examining the different places I spend my life standing. Too often we take for granted the everyday places we spend our lives walking on. The ground we tread on has its own stories to tell". check her photo essay out........very interesting!) Now I've got to get off this computer and start creating!!!

Great Saturday!! I love fall in VA!


So the weather was perfect today and I had a nice quiet day putzing around, not in any hurry just enjoying the day.....didn't get to the sewing machine but did get to enjoy the sun and used it to create some new experiments... more cyanotypes and then tried out some easy screen to make a printing screen; will get out some paint this week to see if my test screen works! Also hit the Costco which wow gas was $2.87 and of course the line was out to road so will have to try tomorrow for my tank full....also drove to Plaza for some art supplies, did a lot of store hopping and looking at art supplies....all in all a very nice but very quiet day with my hubby in Hawaii..(yep you read that right! He's in Hawaii on business! If I had not gone with him twice in the past and KNOW how long his work days are there I might be jealous).
Anyway enjoy my pics....the house photos are from the master bedroom, look close you can see the birds at my bird feeder, the golfers teeing off the 14th hole right off our backyard and the lighthouse my sister Gina gave me this summer to remind me of the lakes in MI!
Also in the one photo look close, you can see me ;-))))
Did you know you can click on the photos to see them enlarged?

Weekend!

It's been a busy week! A few after school meetings and then professional training op-outs.
I am glad it's the weekend AND I think the weather is going to be great? I have to get a grant request written (deadline looming) then I intend to relax, quilt and then hopefully more quilting! ;-)
I am sharing a couple pics of my 7th graders dyed cloth then a partial sample (meaning not completely finished) of what I hope they create out of the fabrics......Will let you know how it works out ;-)))) They seem excited.
