If you saw the movie Up, you realize that I am trying to distract you. I feel as if I have been slacking a bit. I did finish the edging on the post cards and they are ready send out. I uploaded some new work to my website and did an online entry to Form Not Function. This afternoon, I went shopping for some new clothes. I needed some comfortable stuff for everyday wear. Mr C gave me a gift certificate to Chico’s which I have yet to use. Didn’t get there today, either. By the way, the squirrel was on the deck this morning, looking at me through the kitchen window.
I did some binge shopping on Amazon the other day.
This is a very cool drawing book by Steven Aimone. It has lots of neat exercises which I hope to do.
This new book, Quilting Art, by Spike Gillespie as loads of eye candy work done by 20 contemporary, many that I know and some that are new to me.
This book by Sandra Meech is filled with gorgeous work and art classes that you can take to learn her techniques. I think I will have fun with this, too. I am trying to get myself back to creating more of my own fabric. I so admire my artist friends like Judy Carpenter and Connie Rose, who get into the studio every day and do the work.
Tonight, I started stiching the black hole piece. I decided not to paint another one. I think I can have fun just stitching and adding some bling to this. This photo has a lot of glare on the foil so it looks a bit weird.
Tomorrow, I am looking forward to an art date with Terry. We are going to see the work of art quilter, Mary Catherine Lamb, who recently died from cancer. She was too young. Her is a link to a video about her and her work.
Gerrie,
I love what you are doing with the black holes!!! Looks like the start of a wonderful series…and I’m going to check out that expressive drawing book…looks interesting.

Tree rats. Ick – hate the little buggers. Hope you don’t ever have them in your attic.
Glad you’re quilting the black hole – it looks pretty good to me. And I spent the whole evening uploading my entries. Alarm set for 4:45 am and I’m not even tired yet.
Gerrie – YOU are the one who is so productive – I don’t know where you get your energy.
I’m with Karoda — that’s not slacking! Have fun with Terry tomorrow. 🙂
well, it seems that we have a very mutual admiration society my dear girl! LOL Sometimes the only thing that gets me going is thinking that you are already going, even if you are three hours behind me on the left coast!
You are truly an inspiration, and even after spending a couple of weeks with you, I’ve yet to figure out just how you fit all that you accomplish into just 24 little hours.

GREAT squirrel pictures! Ah….new books…these look like lots of fun…I love learning something new about art.
Awh the squirrel! Dennis loves squirrels – they didn’t have them in N Ireland when he grew up so he first saw one as an adult in St. James Park London and christened it Freddy.(At the time I was immobilsed in a deck chair with a sprained ankle ad Freddy would come right up to my foot to play.) Now all London trips have to include a visit to a park to see Freddy and his relatives and seeing him makes Dennis as happy as seeing Mickey Mouse. This must be Freddy’s US cousin George W Bushytail.
Karen nailed it! I wish I had the creative energy you have. I just received Meech and Gillespie’s books and they are great. Enjoy your weekend.
If you call what you been doing lately slacking…then I’d like to slack as much as you! Woman are you kidding me!????
