I've been doing more drawing than sewing

Last November (at my last post) my quilt guild announced the theme for this years guild challenge, "Let's Go Fly A Kite"... immediately my creative juices started flowing... a little black girl flying a kite... in a little yellow dress... make her 3-D... make the kite 3-D...!!! So that's what's been on my sewing machine BUT I can't post any pictures until March, that's when they'll be judged.  I can't wait because mine is so out-of-the-box that I'm not sure what they are going to think, but generally they like my work.

Something that I've been doing for years and years is drawing zentangles, or zendoodles.  I have created a separate blog for my works of art here: Timeless Tangles and I just posted a new challenge created by Jake Parker of Inktober that you might want to check out.
This is one of my zendoodles but everyone creates them differently:

Newport News Fall Festival!

I know I've been MIA for a while but it's because WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!! So this summer was all about purging old junk and moving to our new place.  As soon as the boys went back to school I told myself that I really needed to buckle down and get ready for this year's fall festival.  So here are a few pictures from this weekend:

One of my new items this fall was my zendoodle notecards.  Here's a better picture I took before the festival:

My booth may look totally different next year because as I was sitting there assessing what people were buying (and not buying) and what creative endeavor I like to spend my time doing now... I think I'm "reinventing" myself.  

I probably won't shut this blog down but I will be devoting more time to my newer blog over here: Timeless Tangles Thanks for looking!
