Ok, here I go.....I have decided not to buy any more commercial fabric!  Why when there is so much cool stuff already out there.  I have been having a blast collecting velvet, silk, linen, wool, and cotton from thrift stores yard sales and such.  I have learned to tell at a touch what fabric is made of without seeing it.  I get fooled sometimes but not often.  I trust my instinct.  I can move through a rack at the thrift store with lightning speed when I am on a mission.  I want to learn as much as I can as I go.

I am going to post some of my treasures here so watch this space as we have a blast gathering all that is good with recycled or is it upcycled, repurposed or redefined or beautified again or twice or thrice treasured...whatever you want to call it I call it joy "fabricized"

  5. So share about what's good....Thank you to my students. I have a whole group of young people who love me and I love them. My experience at Central High school as been the tonic to revive my grieving heart. I think I am living how she would have me be. Giving all the time. Thinking of how to help mankind. Be f service, helping for the ever good...doing what you think is right, being willing to be criticized but always always being prepared to give an answer. Thank you Inez G for blazing aa trail that inspires me. To pick up myself and keep it moving. Love you so much...it sustains me

  7. I did buy some commercial fabric. I went on a road trip with a friend from school and I was seduced into buying two yards of fabric. It is still in the bag in the back seat of my car....hmmmmm what does that mean? Who knows, maybe I just haven't thought what to do with it yet....nothing more nothing less

  9. I went to schoo today and I hated being there. I felt like crying the whole time. There was nothing in my heart that was excited to be there. I feel like an outsider and I don't want to go back. O f course I can't quit because if nothing else I m not a quitter but I am tired and sad and I just don't want to do this right now. Where is life going for me I am not sure but I am not feeling myself at all...can't you tell..I am alone too often. Sometimes I like it but as a lifestyle I think I need to needed and wanted. Right now I feel neither
