From there to here

How did it get to be Thursday already. Caught up in house stuff again so slowed down on DC Fabric Art. Today going to have a sketch of some birds enlarged 400%. Will transfer it to stencil plastic, cut it and stencil it to new bathroom wall. Beach theme in this room. Will be in tones of blues, greys and of course some white. Keep eye out for pic as soon as it is done. C

Making Progress

Had an interesting day on Friday. Went to the city dump with a neighbor to unload a bunch of tile and sheet rock we have accumulated during our remolding of our home. Was it inspirational? No, and it cost me 48 bucks to leave them the 1,200 pounds of stuff. Maybe we should find a way to re-use old sheet rock and old tile - but that would be for someone else to do - not me. Finished another small bag and need to photograph it for my Etsy store - which by the way has not been visited except for family and friends. Have to find a way to get it out there as there is a great deal of competition. In the meantime I will insert an image of a  bag here just for the experience of doing so. Who knows - maybe someone will actually see it - please let me know if you do. Thanks, C

Hooray! Hooray! Finally have made it

Opened my Etsy store.
Find my work at http:\\dcfabricart.etsy.com. The hardest part of all of this is the social networking piece. This is really new to me but I am excited about it. To be honest at first I just thought it was the world making a lot of noise - but it is way more than that. It is fun. It is a challenge but so is just getting up in the morning most days. I hope to be able to connect to others through this social media. After being a computer programmer for over 50 years I find that I was not really aware of what was going on. But you know what they say, better late than never.

Moving from upstairs to downstairs

I took advantage of all of the work being done in our home to move my studio from an upstairs bedroom to take over half of the basement. Large area, large ideas, now a place to translate them from the mind's eye to the actual thing. This is Sun and starting Wed I will be loading what I have ready to my Etsy shop. Also going to play around with designing my own fabrics and having Spoonflower print them. What a great time to be alive.
