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"
'.
I worked hard to get that place to a starting point...without my efforts they would have never and I mean never have done so well...true story that!

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

ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteI made kitchen curtains finally this March while KT Fenn was here
DeleteIt is actually 0353 not 0053
ReplyDeleteI 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
