Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!

What's feeding your creative spirit at the end of the week? Plans for the weekend? Tidy up your creative space? Just a regular day?

Share with me, what's your Friday like?

Today I'm watching the cutest 2 year old EVER! Our daughter is chair of the Father's Daughter Dance at the elementary school, so she is busy setting up and I'll be busy chasing this crazy boy around. I'll work on Etsy shop listings while he naps.

Yes, he is going to dip his salami in his aunt's Dr. Pepper - I told you, he's a crazy boy!

For 2018 I want to start something new. Let's have a daily conversation about what is feeding our creative time. Are you working on a project with a deadline? Are you cleaning your creative space? Are you designing a new project? Are you stuck? Are you getting ready to submit a quilt or project to a show? Are you learning new techniques? I want to hear, I want to learn and I want us to join in conversation.

Join me here every day or join the conversation on my Facebook page. Let's keep the conversation and networking active.

Rules of engagement:

Rule #1 - As I tell my grandkids - Have Fun with the conversation

Rule #2 - Post your inspirations, thoughts, and questions

Rule #3 - only positive feedback. No bashing or criticism. If someone asks for feedback, be honest, but be kind and constructive. If comments are hurtful, they will not be published.

Creatively,

Jules

How Do You Balance Your Time?

Let's Start a Conversation

What's feeding your creative spirit today?

Besides Pilates, I'm not sure how much time I will get to spend in the studio today. It's a busy day with Dr. appointments, pilates and then the monthly guild meeting of the Quilter's Guild of Dallas. I would really like to spend some in the studio working on small art quilts, but I think I will just have to be happy with petit point while at the doctors office.

What's feeding your creative spirit today? 

Besides my daily setting fabric on to dye and working on small art quilts, today I'm going to submit artwork for the Dallas Area Fiber Artists Annual Show. I have two pieces to submit this year.

This picture was taken during an indigo/shibori dye class I took a few years ago.

What Colors and Patterns Inspire Your Art?

Let's Start a Conversation

What's feeding your creative spirit today? For me, I'm washing fabric I set to dye yesterday, setting more fabric and clothing on to dye and working on small art quilts.  This is after I make a run to Pilates, oh how I love Pilates and how it energizes me for the day.

This picture was taken on my trip to through the Panama Canal in 2015. This was at the street market in Columbia. I love the colors. Being an artist, I know these bags take time to create and forethought on how the designs are going to come out.
