Last weekend looked like this.
One of those glorious indian summer days that always seem to be ordered up by the chamber of commerce for California in January. I snuck off to the beach and caught this golden sunset over the Monterey Bay.
Life in the real world is impeding my progress in the virtual one. We are in the midst of moving, and boxes line the hallways, and are stacked high in the utility room. Yesterday I packed up my “studio library”, which includes hundreds of art and textile related books. I have several interesting ones on fabric design and textile printing. One that caught my eye is “Design Your Own Repeat Patterns: a quick and easy approach” by V. Ann Waterman. I must have bought it years ago for a class, as the price is marked $3.95. Much easier to do on the computer these days, but good to know how to build a repeat pattern with paper and pencil as well. Makes me itch to get creating. But I resisted the tempting butterfly stickers, leaves and flowers of the pattern workbook, as I must resist most things textile related until we are settled into our new home. For now I’m happy to have a bit more space in the studio and the dreams of more art time when moving is done.

What a beautiful photo! The warm weather we had was sort of freaking me out. I love warmth, but it just seemed out of place in January. I’ve missed seeing you at the Thursday night “book” group, and hope you’re doing well!
