January 12, 2012

It's raining and blustery in Wellesley today. I taught another session of Get To Know Your Sewing Machine this morning and now I'm home, sketching the project for chapter 13, while the baby naps.

Monkey sketch
I hope this guy doesn't give me too much trouble.

    I just found your blog by way of Betz White’s place and added you as a bookmark. I really admire your creativity. I remember how hard it was to get anything creative done when my girls were small. Reading the rest will have to wait until I have more time. Even with grown children, there is never enough time to play!
