Passion and Art: Fabric with Potential

Blogging on the Brain

I know I've been quiet here recently. It's because I've been working on some new blogs. I'm totally bitten by the writing bug. Everything I do, I think, "Hmmm, that might make a good blog post." I need to start carrying around a notebook to jot down all my ideas.

I'd love it if you visit (and subscribe!) my other blogs. Each one is a bit more specialized, as opposed this one, which is kind of a mish-mash. I'd love to hear your feedback. What you'd like to see on each blog. Suggestions of topics, etc.

To make life easier, here are the links:

Cup of Creativi-Tea: I'm sharing all things creative, whethere it's cooking, sewing, or kid crafts. Maybe some bellydancing (that's creative!). I'm also adding lots of tutorials.
I'm Not the Nanny: Parenting stories, with some musings about raising biracial kids in a racially conscious world
Laugh in Bed: Intimacy and relationships. Maybe some sex.

I'll still post here occassionally until I get the other ones established! Thanks for reading!

Fabric with Potential

Fabric
Originally uploaded by passionandart.

I picked up a yard of this beauty last weekend from Ikea. I had no idea what I wanted to do with it, but I was drawn to it. I thought the least I could do was paint the leaves and make a handbag.

The leaves definitely make me think of spring. Imagine all the bright colored leaves! I've been stewing about this all week. As I waited for my mother-in-law in the parking lot of our grocery store, I started sketching like a madwoman in my journal.

Now I have to research some free motion embroidery and washaway or tearaway fusibles. . .I've never used them before, just read about them!
