Quiet... to chaos... and back again...

My quiet world of evenings spent on the couch with my knitting or crochet was unexpectedly (and temporarily) bombarded by people, 2 super-hyper kids, pizza, wine and chatter - pleasantly I should say.

Needless to say I got nothing done but had a nice evening...  Back to normal tonight I believe...

In the meantime I'll leave you with what I've been reading...  Breach of  Trust by DiAnn Mills

It's an e-book that I'm reading using the Kindle Application for Ipod touch.  This is the first e-book I have read and so far I'm enjoying it... no heavy book to hold - easy to find your place and goes anywhere without weighing down my handbag...

Studio Journals

I've been thinking of doing another Joggles online class called Studio Journals: A Designer's Workhorse, with Sharon Boggon from In a minute ago.

I have lots of sketchbooks around. Each one has a few pages used and then the rest is blank. I collect images and make sketches on scraps of paper that are scattered throughout my work room. If only I could put the two together. I have a fear of 'getting it wrong' which I know is nonsence as the sketchbooks are for my use only but nevertheless that is the problem. I hope that this course might give me some ideas on how to make better use of my sketchbooks and to get the ideas floating around my head, down on paper so that I don't loose them and so that I can start to figure out how to turn the idea into textiles.
