Sewing with bits of art

3/15/2013

I have spent most of the last week sewing skirts for my daughter's musical. The show starts next Thursday, so I'm done sewing for now. There are always last minute things to fix or add when you are helping with a big show. I love working backstage while my daughter is participating onstage. I did work on a few journal pages during the week. I have some works in progress to show too. But first I will show the rest of the skirts that I took pictures of, I forgot with one of the skirts. If you would like to keep up with what I am creating more regularly you can follow my artist page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HandsAndHarts

Have a wonderful weekend and bring some creativity into whatever you are doing.

I have a loving husband who thinks I'm a bit crazy to be so obsessed with art. I am a mother of five children from ages 21 to 5. I spend most of my time mothering and keeping house. In my free time I like to play with textiles, art journaling and painting. I have a degree in textile and apparel studies with a design focus. Right now I am more interested in fiber arts than apparel design, but I don't know where my journey will take me.

I love to read and am not often without a book. I love fantasy and science fiction novels. I also love reading a lot of mainstream fiction and historical accounts. Art books and magazines are another favorite of mine.I also dabble in gardening. I want to get out and garden more when my little ones are a bit older and less of a challenge. I enjoy being outside, at least when the weather is nice. I love animals. I also live with two cats.

I live in Alaska with the beauty of the natural world all around me.

Check out my husband's website. He is a writer and has written about our life and many other amusing stories.
