the first one

this has been the year of firsts. a lot of new things are happening in my life right now. i recently switched my major from painting to fibers, and its the first time ive felt confident at scad. and check out my breakfast. i just started buying brown eggs and i got one with twins! that has never happened to me before.




ive been lurking other artists blogs for quite a while and im ready to join the amazing artist community out here. so hopefully this will be a cool place to check out what im doing and what im into and to get feedback from other artists and anyone who has a comment or question. i want to keep myself accountable for what im doing (and what i say im going to do) and have a place to view it all. i will try to keep myself uncensored in an effort to be as real and true to myself as possible. so expect some spelling and gramatical errors, but i'll do my best.

lately ive been felting, knitting and sewing, and sometimes making books. im trying to cultivate ideas for a line of home accessories and i also create fine art. i havent been doing a lot of the fine art thing the past few weeks. last night i made a shirt. its the first shirt ive ever made and its not too bad but i seriously doubt i will ever wear it. it was basically an experiment and im trying to get comfortable with my bernina. i dont like reading directions or cutting out patterns so i just took some measurements and went for it.

chris was out of town this weekend visiting our friends in pensacola, fl so sawyer and i had the house to ourselves and he was doing a great job of keeping me company. we went for a long walk yesterday all around the city and he is getting so much better at paying attention to what i am doing and following my lead. hes about 10 months now and we desperately need to get him fixed. he has these hormone-induced outbursts and he'll jump around me in circles growling and nipping if he gets too excited outside off-leash. i am having a hard time making his appointment because i dont really want to alter him. i know its for his own good tho. he'll be much calmer and happier, although he is a very well behaved little puppy.

i must get back to work but i'll be back with some pics of my stuff later.
