But this weekend was really scattered. There is much on my mind and I don't know if that had anything to do with it or if its just the lingering cooties that never seem to tire of me. (Mild winter weather = bizarre sinus issues.)
Add to all that the fact that my projects this weekend were kind of secret (but only for about another month and then I can shout it from the mountain tops, I'm excited and I think you will be to!) and it makes my studio doings post for this week a bit anemic.
Ah well, maybe I can distract you with pretty colors.
I found a new source for hand dyed threads, take a look at these variegated beauties:
I picked those up from Dyed Fiber on etsy. I have a project planned for them and they are even more impressive in person. :)
I did a bunch on hand stitching:
This is going on to a Remnant Collage for the April show. Its going to get a little bit of surface design (you didn't think I'd be able to leave something paint free, did you?) and then I'll put it in place. Its a fairly small piece of fabric and it was nice to have to just stitch on when there was a few seconds, very calming too.
I think I'm going to toss some scraps into a small ziploc bag along with some thread and just drag it around in my purse. Kind of like a fiber prozac for all those irritating bits of the day. ;-)
And then there were all the secret projects. Printing and stitching and plotting:
Pretty colors, right? More soon, I don't like the secret project thing much, I've gotten so used to sharing! Ah well, with the way time flies it won't be secret for long. :)

Oooo, Aaaahh, pretty colors. Love the thread!! I will be checking out your source. I know what you mean about needing to take scraps with you as "prozac".

Can't wait to hear about the super-secret project! Hope you have some fun along the way, too. :D
Ooo-aaah! Eye candy, my favorite! Don't worry about being a tease, we still love you. Love the threads. Feel better soon. I know for me the weather isn't helping - snow, then warm and sunny, then snow. Driving me bonkers!
No worries! I'm easily distracted by pretty colors! Dying (or should I say dye-ing) to hear about these secret projects!
