September, a time to begin

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Welcome to my new blog!  That back-to-school excitement surfaces each year, and early fall brings a shift in energy.  Here in Mabou, the goldenrod and lavender asters are blooming, the school bus drives by at 8 each morning, and the air is getting crisper.  Just the right time for new projects, like launching a website and writing a blog.

What will I write about? Some ideas include:

  • inspirations for my work, like the beautiful surroundings of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia where I live
  • works-in-progress
  • some of my dyeing and sewing techniques
  • musings about making a living as an artist (with advice appreciated)

I would love to get your comments on the website, the fine art quilts, and the ideas for blog topics. Do you have new projects of your own this fall?
