Tuesday's Table...(and a little FYI)
My sewing room has been featured on another site, and there were some comments there about how I'm "impossibly neat" and questions like "how does she create without making a mess?" So, your Honour, I offer into evidence this picture of my table. I make a mess! lol
This was the heap of stuff on one side during the construction of Ontology of a Rabbit. You can see bunny detritus alllllll through that. Rolled up gold leather, some silver sequins that didn't make the cut, a gorgeous chocolate brown ribbon that I'd pulled for binding until I decided to do an escape hatch closing (thanks Melody Jonhson!) tape and paint that was a possibility for B'rer Rabbit's nose or eyes (I was considering pink eyes for awhile but didn't like them in practice), pattern pieces - a host of other things.
Also - on a serious note - I wanted to let you know that my mother passed away a couple of weeks ago.
This isn't a plea for condolences, but I have run out of my pre-done posts now, and though I do have some things I can show you over the next little while (some fabrics I'd hand-dyed, a quilt show I went to, the results of the resin experiment, a bed quilt I've started and stalled on) I don't have a lot of content left and I'm not feeling motivated to create at the moment, so posts may be light around here for a bit.
Fair warning!
Take care,
Kit Lang
Take all the time you need to grieve - it's hard to lose a mom. Pretty soon all the nice memories will float to the top and you'll feel like creating again. My thots are with you.
ReplyDeleteTake time to take care of yourself!!!
ReplyDeleteWe all understand...no worries.
ReplyDeleteJust know I will be praying for you and your family. Mom died 8 years ago and there is not a day that goes by that I'm not reminded of her.
ReplyDeleteCelebrate her life and all the love she gave.
We are forewarned, Kit. Thanks and do take care.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. So sorry for the loss of your mother.
ReplyDeleteTake very good care.
Always, Queenie
I'm so sorry, Kit. I never know what to say and I know you're not expecting me to say anything...but I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteCreativity is messy!!!!! I actually like the "post production" clean up. I like having a clean slate before starting something new.
ReplyDeletehugs hugs and more hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteYour 'messy' is tidier than my 'neat,' alas!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your mother. Take all the time you need to grieve and find your path again.
Kit, I am very sorry to hear about your Mom. I can definitely understand how you would feel quite apart from doing just about anything. It is a big deal indeed for a girl to lose her mother. Once you feel less immediacy, I expect hand work is one of those things that will give you some solace. Best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteKit - take care of yourself. Your fan from across the pond.
ReplyDeleteSeguramente no necesita mi palabra de consuelo.Pero el cariño que muchos le tenemos esta con usted.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for ideas for my sewing room and guess whose blog I found. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI empathize about your current posting issues. Today is the 4 year anniversary of my mom's unexpected death. I have been trying to come up with something to post on my blog but alas, I am clueless.
Sympathies,
Mary
