A Fresh Start for 2020

2020

New Beginnings

New Motivation

New Resolve

New Adventures

Fresh Creativity 

The last few years have been seriously lacking in motivation and 

creativity for me, but 2020 has me taking a fresh look 

at my creative journey.  

I have so many ideas that I want to implement and no better time to start than NOW! 

One of my favorite designing geniuses, Tim Holtz, has a saying,

*BELIEVE IN THE NOW *

 I am a lifelong procrastinator, much to my dismay. Turning 70 last year

was a rude awakening. I seriously felt that my time to be creative or 

follow my dreams was over and I had snoozed right 

through it. Since then, I have seen so many women in their later

years being creative every day and believing in their now. They 

are an inspiration to me, especially one very creative 98-year-old in

an online class I'm taking.  So, now it is.

Now is the time to share my ideas, practice my creativity and make art

just for me.  Now is the time to create my website. Now is the time to

pour my heart into what I love instead of lamenting what I haven't done or

accomplished. I will never be a trailblazer, but I can be a creative.

 This will be my place to share thoughts and ideas.  I hope you'll follow 

me on my journey.

Hugs to all,

Kathleen

$5.00 Fabric Storage

     It's been a couple of months since I've blogged due to cataract surgery and I'm really anxious to get going again.  My left eye still doesn't see as well as my right eye and I will still need glasses for distance.  Distance being anything beyond three feet away.  My surgeon wants to give my left eye some more time before getting new glasses.  That being said, now that my left eye has been done, I can see the computer, sew, do needlework and read clearly.  However, I just couldn't wait to share my new fabric storage piece, or, I should say, pieces.  I just had to wing it on the photography since I couldn't bring the camera into focus.

     The bottom piece was solid maple and came complete with the little brass label holders.  Hubby added the bun feet.  This piece was free!

     The top piece was painted a dark brown and cost $5.00 at Goodwill (it was broken).  Hubby sanded it back and added fluted molding to the bottom and then painted both pieces Navajo White (my very favorite white).  

     I have very limited space so this allowed me to bring in some of my favorite fabrics from the storage cabinets in the garage.

I think it's just perfect!
