I turn to methodical small tasks ... gluing, binding, sorting, organizing and of course, eye-candy surfing. That doesn't however help with Projects, Round Robins, Assemblage Challenges and Mother Nature's own finite planting deadlines. urg.
And if that weren't enough excitement...
... also in yesterday's mail (a Good Mail Day!!) at the urging of Miss Sweetpea [oh twist my rubber arm!] India Flint's Eco Colour arrived. Itching to get a few pots of dye-stuffs together, I think this farmstead was made for natural dyeing. I have a metal dump to troll through for mordants and printing, 25 acres of fields to gather flowers, grasses and 125 acres of mixed forest replete with lichens and mosses, a babbling stream, many windfalls plus a mixture of soft and hardwoods to keep me busy for a couple of life times.
Other things...
- I have a book I'm readying for the Round Robin I'm in ... scrapping the clamshell idea but it may be revisited at some future date
- deciding on the type of box to house the 10Teeny Things that will start gracing my doorstep in another month ... flat is better right?!?
- discovery of so many amazing textile artists to keep my eyes overflowing with candy ... I mean Diane Ericson ... come on?! the woman not only creates some amazingly funky clothing, she also paints, draws and collages on the fabric. I KNOW. *brain explode*
- pondering Julies's stuff and finding Freya Jobbins made me gasp!
- the glamper is all set to go!!!
- and to top it all off, my baby girl graduated from University
