Moving forward

I have recovered mostly from chair accident - but now my Bernina needs a Dr. to look it over. Making a clunking sound - but only since I cleaned it. Maybe the stuff in it was muffeling the sound before. Will take it in Monday - so next week will be project week around the house. Plants to plant, Received my tomato plants from Burpee today. Floors and windows to clean, painting to be done - name it, is it here waiting on me to do it. I also will work on DC Photo Art for my spouse. Lot of work getting it on Etsy also. Best of life to you, Caroline

Between Concrete and Dirt - I Will Take Dirt

Working hard on a Tuesday. Added more and more bags to Etsy store. Yesterday my work chair in studio fell over with me in it. It is a tall drafting chair so I landed hard on upper thigh. Wish I could say I jumped up and said 'Ta Da', or at least bounced with style. But, alas, neither of those things happened. I just lay there and thought about how fast one can hit the ground when not expecting it. Use to dirt ride motorcylces in my younger day and hit the ground a lot - but somehow it seemed softer than the carpet in my house. Maybe has something to do with the concrete under the carpet? Anyway, I am a bit sore, but all is well. I was not a blaze of light before the accident, so the extra slowness is not real noticable and sewing does not require a lot from the upper thigh. Three of the new bags shown below.

Best of life to you, Caroline

Added another tote bag to my store on Etsy this morning. Also finished a prototype of pillow coverings that I am going to add to store. Will set up a home fashion section. Any and all things to do with working with fabric - my passion.

DR Day - oh Joy!! But the rest of the day is mine. Have some new stuff to put up on Etsy - still looking for first sale - I know it is out there somewhere. I really love the two bags below. If you are reading this blog please check out my Etsy shop http:\\dcfabricart.etsy.com. Thanks and have a great day.

Lazy Monday Afternoon

This day was used in yard work - not yet warm enough to plant seedlings but warm enough to sit in sun. Have requested others join me in a book club here in the commons. Only two have responded so far - but am really hoping others will. I love TV and movies but enjoy reading much more. In the first chapters of Shelby Foote's Civil War triology and find his work to be stunning. I can string words together for a computer software manual but descriptive words of how humans functioned, under such dire circumstances, escape me. Tomorrow, Tuesday the 3rd back to working on setting up my studio. Will post a pic on here and on my other blog site on Wordpress. Best, C
