The Promise of Tomorrow

No art work this weekend, instead I'm making a jacket. Admittedly, I do not find garment sewing quite is not as fun as other artistic endeavours. However, selecting fabric, notions and patterns does provide some satisfaction. I could not find buttons that I liked for this jacket so I made some from polymer clay. They work pretty well but are somewhat brittle (so make a few extra just in case).

I am delighted that shows like Project Runway encourage the next generation to learn to sew. What wonderful independence to decide your own personal style and be the designer.

In addition to being grateful that I can sew, I am grateful for:

Easter Dinner that I don't have to prepare. My son-in-law is an absolute master on the barbeque grill and smoker: brisket, sausage, and jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with backstrap! It was fantastic. I did contribute Red Velvet cake and deviled eggs.

My studio - with enough space and height to work. Do 8' ceilings stifle your creative spirit? Mine seems to need space to soar.

My spouse accepts my need for creativity - although he does not necessarily understand it.

Spring green - the color of new leaves in the spring time that is so bright it looks artificial.

The promise of tomorrow - another day, a fresh start. I guess that is what this time of year is all about.
