Sometimes you feel really inspired and productive. Sometimes you don't. Thursday was a productive day. I cut and pieced three large two-tone blocks to print. Three! Yesterday was one of the other kind of days. Three and a half hours of staring at the blocks with no idea how to print them. I'm feeling a little discouraged, with an odd mix of all the time in the world and not enough time at all.
Nevertheless, negativity gets you no where, so I'm determined to be thankful for where I am. I have ten potential senior show blocks. I have a color scheme that I love. I have a Mom who is really good at gauging and color matching solids from online fabric stores. I have a great space to work in and a roommate who doesn't mind quilt squares taped to every free square inch of the room. I have a helpful and inspirational show advisor and encouraging friends. And the Friday after next I get to sneak in and tape up blocks in the gallery space. This week is another week. This afternoon another potential for great fun and productivity. Creative work can go in fits and starts but I don't have to dwell on the fits. Now let's get started!
