Blather

These are some of my art works form about a year ago, inspired by quotes printed on vellum. I had purchased these quite some time before that, and don't remember the publisher honestly. I dismantled it and sorted them all out after I bought them to meet my bizarre sense of organization:






I am hoping to post more in the coming weeks. I haven't shown these to anyone but my husband. I'm going back to my love of visual arts. I'm painfully slow at drawing, but since learning about collage and altered art - roughly 3 years ago - I've been motivated to try and free some of my creativity in a visual sense again. I still feel strongest in my love of crochet, knitting, and sewing.

I'm hoping to get the quilting foot for my sewing machine within the next month or so (providing that nothing comes up). It's pretty sad that I have to budget around a $25 gizmo, but money has been super tight (thank you to the US economy) and I haven't sold anything at my booth yet (thanks again). I do have faith that it'll all work out, but it's hard to have hope when I get so behind on things. And I'm not just talking bills. I've been working at the bar so much now that I'm behind on my knitting, crochet, and sewing... not to mention my art work. Oh, and house work... I'm not so great at it anyway, but lately I've been super unimpressive. I guess I'm just a little frustrated at everything and there's no one really to talk to about it because it's all just one big cruise liner we're one (only with out the itinerary and relaxing).

I don't have to say it, but I will..... We all seem to be working harder just to see things moving further away. There are days I look around and ask when is it my turn. When do I get to be the star, the silver... scratch that... gold lining. When will my ship come in? Will it ever?
