No paintings yet....sorry


For the last few months I have been in my studio. Seriously. I have not produced anymore paintings, although I still have a few of my old ones to give away. I know, I know...I keep saying I have more to post here but I don't do it. The last two were not taken and I suppose that left me a bit bewildered. I don't know why I should be, but I was. Anyhoo...:) moving on
Above is a photo of one of my latest projects. It actually turned out bigger than I had originally envisioned it, but it will easily fit a queen/king sized bed. My sewing projects will be the same as my paintings. Given away. I already have names in mind for most of the quilt tops that I've pieced, but of course, they aren't entirely completed yet. Other projects include reusable grocery sacks, aprons, jewelry bags, purses, clothing, tablecloths and place mats. I've even helped a dear friend recover a sofa that was given to her. That was a fun four days. Some yummy lunches accompanied our days of couch recovering. Thanks Karen....for hiring me.
Trying to "get to the end of my basket" is a daunting task but I am finding that one stitch at a time, one seam at a time and sooner or later the garment/project is finished. The same is true with our Christian walk. Just keep at it. One day I hope to have a clean studio and one project at a time to work on. It's good to clean out the cobwebs and start afresh. Thank you Lord for fresh starts.
Prayerfully yours,
Cindy
