Time to Regroup (again) ...

So it's Monday, again.

That is a good thing, 

but it is also a sad thing because

I needed more days in my weekend . . . 

DH and I are working on a pair of collaborative pieces

for entry into a contest by the Woodturners of America.

I can't show photos until after our entries are submitted,

but as soon as that happens, 

you WILL get to see the seven submission photos. 

 [And when voting time comes, I'll pass along the info.]

Brush Strokes

Our family of five enjoyed a movie/dinner outing

with a matinee of Cowboys & Aliens

followed by dinner at Olive Garden during which

Brush Strokes, created for our eldest and his wife,

was gifted in honor of their 5th anniversary.

But mostly, I dealt with so many thoughts

that I filled multiple pages in my working journal ~

ideas for the trunk show I'm giving in September,

ponderings for a long-delayed quilt project that remains in a box,

ways to improve the work space in my studio,

storage ideas for waiting projects,

realizing more collaborative possibilities with DH,

sketches for my rapidly-gestating quilty guardian angel wallhanging,

[not to mention those pesky non-art related thoughts and to-do items]

and on and on and on ~ 

until I feel like Calvin -- HELP!!!!!

Now I need a weekend to recover . . . 

It will be interesting to see how things develop this week.
