The last 2 days I've culled my fabric down to 3 baskets.
These boxes are going to ebay to find new homes.
This is what's left of my commercial and dyed fabric from the past 12 years.
It's not overwhelming as it was.
The dye basket is quietly growing new colors.
It feels right like this.
Listening to Jude Hill's color ideas and discoveries.
It feels right like this.
Love her way of explaining how colors "lean into one another".
Thinking about what this can look like.
Remembering how to sew 2 tiny pieces together into a chain then
cutting them apart to make pieced 2 inch patches. (saves time and thread).
In 2 weeks we'll bring home a new pup. This week seemed to
be the right time to add eyes to the invisible travelers.
They tell me he's a 'singer' and that's a fine thing in my opinion.
The studio will be full of new songs and stories.
A whole lot more going on here.
Oh, what a sweet little fellow ... his tawny little patches are of-a-piece with yours
ReplyDeleteNow why didn't I notice that? Thanks for pointing out my dachshund colored glasses ; ).
ReplyDeleteHe's singing to your moons
ReplyDeleteHow much good energy is in the Sorting, I can feel it
You must have sorted - yes! I did find many hidden
Deletetreasures. Less is better. Except when it comes to dogs.
a singer! how I love that...
ReplyDeleteNew songs, I'm ready for them.
DeleteWow you have really pared down! I love the remaining baskets of fabrics, they look luscious when I click on the picture for a closer look.
ReplyDeleteOh man, your new pup will be there so soon, he looks absolutely adorable! I'll bet you love him already.
I can really see what's there now. Using up all my
Deletedyes on cotton and linen...lots more solids.
I'm getting excited about the pup. It's been so long.
Soon will do the 'pupifying' of the house. With dachshunds that only means moving a few inches up!
A new puppy! That is so exciting Patty! Love all your creative news here. Beautiful fabrics and stitchings. I hope your fabrics find homes on Ebay.
ReplyDeleteYoga! I take it too and you're right, it's life changing!
xoxo
Your paintings bring me so much joy. So glad to have
Deletemy coffee with them daily. Yoga and dogs, life is better with them. xo!
I would love to have another long-haired dachshund find and choose me as their own, and be a companion for my aging Marlee, a rescued dachshund mix. I am in awe of your fabric down-sizing. I need to do that...and still just can't let go of it. Love your baskets of colors.
ReplyDeleteOH! You're a dachshund person too! I had way too much patterned fabric and not enough solids. Using up my older dyes with thrift store curtain panels, etc. Found 2 linen/cotton panels today for 99 cents...what a score!
