Mysterious Newly Created Fiber Item



After having accomplished my other sewing goals (see previous post), this is what evolved next!


What could it be?




Anthuriello


This past holiday weekend, I was obsessed with sewing! I had set myself three goals, met those, and went on to finish a number of other projects. This one, Anthuriello, was originally sewn together nearly a year ago, and the center part was quilted with all manner of organic leaves and shapes. But the finishing touches were only done yesterday. The title refers to the wavy pattern, Bargello, and the appliqued flower, Anthurium. The piece is 60" wide, and the best work I've done so far.

Einstein on Dancing

I just found this blurb from Einstein. He has gone up even further in my estimation, if such a thing is possible.

We dance for laughter, we dance for tears,
we dance for madness, we dance for fears,
we dance for hopes, we dance for screams.
We are the dancers, we create the dreams.
Albert Einstein

I'd like to you meet my daughter...




Kitty is one of the best people I know. Smart, beautiful, thoughtful, fun, creative, mature, and caring. She sings! She dances! She acts and authors plays! She sews! And she writes quite well.


She sees us as similar to the Gilmore Girls, although we can't talk that fast. I'm honored to have her for a daughter.


Here is a link to Kitty's blog. A teacher once said to her "I love your indignant mind!"

The Universe Comes Through

It never fails. I ask, and I receive.

Several years ago, there was a brainstorming team here in the Library. Our goal was to find ways to advertise and promote the Library.

It is difficult to get any number of people together at any one time these days, so this would be a perfect application for blogging at my job. Brainstorming!

We could use some new promotional ideas, and the goal would be to find some that cost nothing.

Poifect!

Here I am.




Posting, posting

Since this is brand new to me, it is unclear at this time how my job will be enhanced by blogging. Generally in life, I have found that when I want something, I "put it out to the universe", and am inundated with possibilities!

So -

Dear Universe,

I have a new tool to use at work. Blogging. Please send fun and creative ideas for implementation.
