Five weeks into summer and I am just hitting my creative stride. And I am up to my ears in W.I.P.s.
Urban Utility II has been sitting around for the moment.
I plan on giving this lifeless sweater dress a face lift.
The as-of-yet unnamed art quilt is in a holding pattern because I need to basically take everything off from this point and start adhering the bigger pieces to the fabric so I can start sewing them down.
My top secret handmade gift exchange project is in the works.
And this is a sneak peak at a project for my son that I will hopefully be able to post later this week.
And this... *GASP* ... is what my sewing room looks like at the moment and that's a problem (BTW, don't start cleaning and reorganizing unless you can do it all in one shot because walking back in on this is daunting).
It's a problem because I start class again tomorrow. And I should have a minimum of 200 pages of reading and a paper to write every week. And my internship is about to ramp up in hours. And not yet on my WIP list is the 400 baby quilts I need to make for all the pregnant women in my life. And the only thing I want to do right now is anything on that WIP list and NOT the readings I am supposed to be doing for the first day of class tomorrow.
Ugh.
My husband helped me take out the old closet doors. I hung a tension rod and made curtains. It makes the space in the closet more accessible. I'd show you pics of the inside of the closet, but that area is currently off display. :)
I made both the "canvas with wings" and the "dream" art... might come up with tutorials for those...
Painted my sewing table lilac (and have plans to decoupage it later) and made the chalkboard with some chalkboard paint and a frame from a thrift store.
The shelves were from IKEA. They were there before, but now they actually hold crafty things like they're supposed to.
Close up of my inspirational Emerson quote.
And, yes, I hung a clothesline through the middle of the room. It's fun to hang things on and it is a great way to photograph quilts.
