being a bad blogger….

by Dale Anne Potter

I am sorry to be such a bad blogger…….I have been concentrating on working in my studio extra hard to get ready for the Highway 1 Studio Tour.  We have no idea how many people we’ll have come thru our studios, but I am preparing for LOTS!!!

If you are on Facebook, please join my STUDIO Fan Page.  I have just had a Fan T-Shirt drawing and will be having other activities on there soon.

This week, I will sending out another of My Creative Ramblings e-newsletter, if you are not already signed up to receive it, you can go HERE.  The sign up form is half way down the page.

Today, we were treated to Mom’s homemade doughnuts.  She wanted to do some baking yesterday, her first choice resulted in not all the ingredients, so she decided to make doughnuts.  Its been a long time since we’ve had them from her……they are so YUMMMMMY!!!

My first attempt with the Deconstructed Rubbings was not to my liking – I used cheesecloth, so today……finally I can get back to it.  I will use chiffon or organza as the screening (its curtain samples, so not sure the actual fabric as its up stairs in my studio and I’m down here).  Promise to take some photos…….I’ll even show the bad attempt with cheesecloth.

I am also washing alot of my stashed white on white fabrics that have been collecting dust for years……am going to either dye them or paint them so I can use them for backgrounds or backings.

We had to rescue all our apples on Sunday – the darn grackles started eating them.  They got to 9 of them, we picked every other one.  They tried one of the crabapples, but not to their liking.  We picked all of them also….LOVE eating them!

Decided to work on some small samples for the upcoming All the Ins & Outs of Free Motion Quilting Workshop with the Eyebrow Quilt Guild in October. Prepared all the sandwiches to do between art projects.  They will be seeing completed quilts and all these samples.
