Saying goodbye to March ....

and  HELLO TO APRIL!!!!!

March always seems to be a busy month for me.
I have taught many classes, workshops and out reach programs,
put up with strange weather and
enjoyed our annual vacation that takes us away from our brick and mortar.
The month seems to zip by, bringing us to my favorite month .... April!

The days are longer and getting warmer and the sun .... you gotta love the sun!
And flowers are beginning to bloom ... bringing inspiration with every petal.
Our vacation was relaxing and I thought through many ideas for future projects and lessons,
worked on several project ideas and prototyoes for items I hope to complete soon and
post here and on ETSY.

My goal is to get busy cleaning and organizing my studio/class room/ sewing room.
Of course, I make this declaration every spring.

But, I plan to clean and create with renewed energy!

I hope all of you feel the energy of Spring and say good bye to March and welcome April!!

Rare day.....

Today was a rare day ... too tired to be creative (late night last night) so I decided to clean! Yes, clean, put away, tidy up, sort and even threw a bit away.

For those who don't know me well, this is a rarity. My DH told people to just stay away from me and not interrupt ... he didn't know how long it would last but he liked it.

I tried earlier in the summer to clean for 15 minutes every morning ... that helped for a while ... but August was a whirl wind of activity and the piles we bothering even me.

Hopefully, this "urge to purge" will last through my next task ... the storage closet... if you don't hear from me in the next few days ... send in the rescue squad.
