Week in Review 2024 – 04/12

Committed

I am committed, or perhaps that could be, I should be committed. Although I have learned to say no to others and to myself, it is easy (now that is an understatement) to take on more than I can manage. This is especially noticeable when multiple commitments must be accomplished at the same time.

Here is a sampling of things I have opted to commit to:

  • Daily exercise,
  • Eating a Whole Food Plant Based Diet,
  • Being there for friends and family,
  • Writing a weekly post, and
  • Working in my studio three days a week.

In a prior post I committed to adding a new gallery to my website focused on my small wrapped canvass artwork. I am far from being done. However, I have cropped three more images since last week. That gives me six done.

Sue

What’s up with the blue painter’s tape? There are times when I prefer to use painter’s tape versus pins. I do this for many reasons. The primary reason with Sue is because her flesh is thread painted. It is relatively easy to insert a pin perpendicular to the piece. It is a near impossible task to thread a pin parallel to the piece. This is because thread painting is so densely packed it is almost as stiff as cardboard. The second reason… it helps me avoid stabbing myself as I work. 🙂

Rainbow Scrap Challenge

It’s April. Therefore, I am committed to creating the yellow blocks. I focused on the dark yellow blocks this week.

Remember the star I promised?

Here’s the star in fabric. I still need to add the pale yellow half square triangles. I will attack that next week. You have my commitment.

A star is born.

I’m linking up to the following posts:
