Back to Work

Here I am, back at it again. I really do enjoy the process of making a pattern. The layout is good – mathematical aspect I like.

Here is the layout for the swirl pattern on my dining room table. I need to create a “positive “ that is 58” x 30” - that’s a lot of swirls to paint!
Here is a picture of my swirls on yardage.


I am very excited to get this pattern and a new one – top secret… up and printing after Christmas. With only a couple of hours available each week – I will have to continue the “process” later…

Later sometimes takes longer than I really expect. Children and a house can do that to a person. I love taking care of and spending time with my lovely kids. They are 5 and 3 and are very entertaining and energetic. The only solution to the dilemma of actually creating while covering all else that must be accomplished – is to clone myself – or just take time and not be in a hurry. The second option is really the reality for me – and is a nice attitude to be able to have.

So change hats to another job.

Ok – as an aside… I was using my dyson vacuum today – I love it! My mom and I were comparing our top favorite modern home conveniences and here are mine..

My top 3 appliances:

1. hot water heater (is this an appliance?) – my mom convinced me that this is truly integral to the whole system – hot water is the best.
2. washing machine
3. dishwasher – this is a new one for me and I know it saves me 1 hour + every day.
(4.) Honorable mention - my vacuum.

More domestic lists later.
