cleaning studio...

Some of you might ask: where have I been? A few 'wordless wednesdays' posts does not a blog make. The tale of woes is long... but suffice it to say that technical problems abounded, deadlines and commitments loomed and family life interfered. Now the technical problems are seemingly solved (although with a loss of some photos), deadlines and commitments have been mostly met and family life is more or less back on schedule with the start of school. I am looking forward to being back here more often once again.

I had the most fabulous time teaching at the Create Retreat in August. I did not take a single picture, much too overwhelmed by all the activities, but Pokey has some fab pix on her Facebook page here. It was my first ever teaching experience of such length, I taught two six hour workshops...gasp.....and was really really amazed by how much I enjoyed teaching. I had not given teaching much thought previously, despite several articles and a DVD. So hopefully I will be able to have a few more teaching opportunities in the future.

Meanwhile I am trying to get back to creating! Not to say that I have not been creating, just not as much as I would like. I've been doing little things here and there, journaling, doodling, some stitching and pulling an all nighter on a major piece for a deadline. Now I am looking forward to a more regularly scheduled time in my studio, especially since school has started for my girls. I have a long list of art that I want to create and I'm itching to get started! But first I MUST clean my studio! I have a habit of cleaning up after each project s completed even if I have several projects going at a time, but time has gotten away from me...

So see you here soon and happy creating to all!

PS I have to confess that I must catch up on monthly journals to....
