sometimes my blog is just a note to tell the world that i made it to the studio. that my laundry is hanging on the line in the sun. that my dishes are put away. and that a load of whites is washing in scalding hot water, while i lay out squares for a green baby quilt.

the studio kept me busy today. it was delightfully full of activity and visitors. sheila came by with jee to brighten up my day with his almost 3 year old charm. my parents arrived with a bag of vintage linens. and the lovely laura arrived with flowers and left with my favorite kick-ass biker jacket that i'm lending her for the weekend. all my visitors were a nice hit of energy to give my work a little extra punch.
i finished a baby quilt and made little lavender pillows. and my beautiful new typewriter broke my heart a little when the spacebar stopped working. the sun broke through late in the day and warmed the rooms with golden shadows on the blue/gray walls. i love working in those rooms. i made a lovely little tower of moleskine notebooks to end the day. wonderful and productive studio time always makes me happy.

this week has been a busy and overwhelming one. it's only tuesday, but it feels like i've been at this a week. i am re-organizing my studio and my little shop. there is so much fabric. and it was beginning to feel like the fabric was about to take over. i'm enjoying the process. although i am fighting with the lack of time. bags of scraps that become so lovely in quilts, but are a disaster of a mess piled around the room. i am looking forward to having my work space back and streamlined. and trying to keep from feeling completely overwhelmed and anxious. it will be wonderful when it's complete. i'll post photos of the completed project......hopefully tomorrow. i can't be without my workspace much longer.
