Create Art Everyday UPDATE 2-14-2012
Posted by aliaslaceygreen in Blogroll..., photos..., Posts...., quilts... on February 14, 2012
I have given myself this challenge, and I have to remember, I am not necessarily looking for the next masterpiece every day, but rather, that I DO something creative. Some days, it is more an exercise in creativity to SEE that something was creative than to actually create.
I am in a challenge group to get some of my quilts that up until now have not managed to get finished, finished!
So, a good number of the daily creativity will as a result reflect this.
Also, creativity to me is puttering on the computer, playing with Lightroom or PSE…(which don’t always result in RESULTS)
Without further ado, here are the photos from the first two weeks, in no order at all!
A pretty orange pepper I found at the grocery store the other day:

A pair of Lampwork earrings:
My 2×4 quilt, getting back into the swing of it:
Layla and I had Arts and Crafts when she visited last:
This is Timmy’s Valentine:
THIS is going around Facebook lately— pretty much sums it up!
What is it about January?

All gung-ho at the end of December, raring to go, resolutions in hand, and then…
A month, one 12th of the year, is almost gone, and yet…
….
That …. pretty much sums up January, and I don’t quite know WHY.
MOTION is my word of the year, and I HAVE gotten out and walked (after forcing myself out of bed in the mornings; the direct result of staying up too late re-reading the Outlander series ) ….the running part of motion seems to be eliminated because my knees protested too much, but I am going to need to do a LOT more walking to be ready for the 10K….
I DID make it to both quilt meetings I had on my calendar, but I DIDN’T remember to get any art into the PRAC show…
I HAVE sorted through 2300 digi images of the Year on the Appomattox and culled to 1300…
And so far, for my organization and decluttering project, I have cleaned out ONE closet.
Can’t even blame it on the weather, because we are on day 6 in a row of over 60 degrees, we *may* have seen 20 minutes of sleet one night….
I have to get my arse in gear, don’t I?
So, I’ve joined the CEO challenge at Quilting Adventures.
Sometime in the next 6 months, THESE six quilts are to be finished.
The Highwayman
Batik Cats
a VERY bad shot of Dresden plates
Chinese Coin
Wild Goose Chase
Autumn Leaves
This will dent my quilt pile of UFO’s not the slightest, sad to say. And the desire to work on these will more than likely be overtaken by new projects, and other things as well….
But, little steps. Something has to get me out of the January doldrums!
DECEMBER 13, 2011 Christmas Photo A Day
Posted by aliaslaceygreen in photos..., quilts... on December 13, 2011
Happy Christmas, quilting friends!
This ornament came into my life back in 1994 (pre quilting days for me!) when Arlie and I toured Virginia and Washington DC on the expected 10 or 11 year old summer vacation to things that are ‘boring’! We toured the White House, courtesy of Rep. S. Molinari, DC, the museums and such, then we visited Williamsburg, and Mt Vernon and Monticello.
We came home and a week later Arlie was back in the car, for a second round of Williamsburg, courtesy of her best friends family!
