pillow project

today, i am working on a circular version of this pillow from anthropologie.  their fabrics are much busier than the majority of the ones i have to work with but i think its still going to be a pretty successful pillow.

every day i sit down at 3 and watch Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and work on a project.

today it's my pillow

tomorrow it will be my shutter

and friday i'll probably work on this shirt/dress that i've been dreaming up.

i enjoy being an artist and i feel like in the last year i've really conquered a fear of craft undertakings that appear vast and impossible.  i've learned that they are not impossible and that i can almost always make things work out.

i'm good at this :)

it's nice to realize that i'm good at making things.

i've always been convinced that i don't have talent in art... that people only think i do because they haven't been taught how to tap into something everyone has...

but i'm coming to the realization that i'm actually good at this.

that i have a talent that goes beyond hard work ... i'm gifted.

i've never been able to admit that before.

it feels nice to realize this.
