I am so excited. I made (if I say so myself) my best ATC tonight. It is already swapped, but I can't wait to make another one for this series. I have named the series Joy; seems appropriate for this time of year. Anyway we could all use a little joy if not alot of joy.<br /><br />The only problem with making all this art and writing about it, it leaves me no time for sleeping. But it sure is alot of fun. I never thought I could experience so much joy from my creations.</div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208940563414422739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658026231809307199.post-68281393998081440042009-12-12T23:57:00.001-08:002009-12-13T00:58:23.201-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2nyoKi-QPXQP4lZUA8dIRu5RiujykvPlPpQmPVPSejwqRjqI5I0hmjzOCBZt8B6cbyX7CE6bizTuwEC4LBQqJO8oXyaCIg2UV-YaB-TaPS72ibGhgb8QgZ11cAH4_WWYBOAids5ViQ8s/s1600-h/ATC+11-22-09+008.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 231px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414628846157837538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2nyoKi-QPXQP4lZUA8dIRu5RiujykvPlPpQmPVPSejwqRjqI5I0hmjzOCBZt8B6cbyX7CE6bizTuwEC4LBQqJO8oXyaCIg2UV-YaB-TaPS72ibGhgb8QgZ11cAH4_WWYBOAids5ViQ8s/s320/ATC+11-22-09+008.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_x1trhSFLOyJbAuA9DJJkC-0-GT_32KYtkWsHdHd_XHFhC8wY4PBIGc5p1vGrAjmVLPUmMNrbDlU_iqhW_RZ29kSxhh03MyItdZJ-qB1GIlkYC-FQkSTCa0-bXvbfUsBYTAXXC2U9PsE/s1600-h/Austin+City+Limits+003.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 288px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414628840648485266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_x1trhSFLOyJbAuA9DJJkC-0-GT_32KYtkWsHdHd_XHFhC8wY4PBIGc5p1vGrAjmVLPUmMNrbDlU_iqhW_RZ29kSxhh03MyItdZJ-qB1GIlkYC-FQkSTCa0-bXvbfUsBYTAXXC2U9PsE/s320/Austin+City+Limits+003.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Well I spent the better part of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and today spending every penny I own at Michael's and Joann's. I have more do dads than you can imagine, but the ATC artist love my cards, and, of course, I am hoping that at least one of my submissions will be published. Wow I would just die and go to heaven if that happened.</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208940563414422739noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658026231809307199.post-29052995327605650192009-12-09T21:21:00.000-08:002009-12-09T21:37:35.905-08:00I bought the greatest book at Joann's today. I know it is terribly corny, but I love Joann's. Michael's is great too, but I am a new shopper at Michael's. The book is "Exploring Textile Arts". The book covers very textile technique with beautiful photographs from felting, Pin Weaving, Quilting & Trapunto, Pleating & Texturizing, Stitched Designs & Applique, Openwork & Thread Lace, Devore, Stamping, Stenciling, & Screen Printing, Serti, Sun Printing, Photo Transfer, Foiling & Beadwork, etc.<br /><br />I think the book will replace my NUMEROUS textile technique books and magazines. I am such a pack rack. I have 8 years of "Knitters" and "Knits" magazines, 10 years of Vogue Pattern Magazine, and 50 - 75 books on knitting, 2 3" ring binders of knitting patterns, and many many more.<br /><br />Then, of course, my office/studio, garage, and attic are filled to the brim with my yarn and fabric stash, sewing, knitting, and art supplies. Pretty soon my husband will be forced to move out. I give him visiting rights. As it is I am in my studio every night reading emails, buying supplies on the internet, creating ATC's. I have started my first quilt. I need to get off the internet and get to work on the quilt.<br /><br />I cut myself last night with a Cutterbe exacto knife. I had to have 8 to 10 stitiches. Joann's had a 15% discount for seniors today (I am 61 years old). So there I was at 10:00 am buying more STUFF with my arm throbbing. I am such an addict when it comes to buying art/fabric supplies.Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208940563414422739noreply@blogger.com1
