New Mexico.
Last week I indulged in some girlfriend time…..
Meeting friends from afar….with our Michigan roots in common,
here in town for the Wool Festival in Taos….
We conviened in Chimayo…..
shared a table
stitched a bit
(Michelle's work above, and Lori's below)
did some shopping here for siftings of Indigo and such…
and in to Santa Fe….
where our attention seemed to be on shopping, and not picture taking!
all this activity and the company of such amazing and talented and inspiring artists prompted me to flip out my fabric and start another project
Perhaps not as creative, but it's a start…..
and OH how wonderful it felt to feel my scissors cut into the fabric….and the first stitches felt like coming home.
Something nice to carry into my next journey while they head to
Taos….
ooooooo .......... with a tiny touch of longing. xo
ReplyDeleteIt hasn't changed a bit since you were here! Just a little greener this year.
DeleteLooks like you had a wonderful time. I'm wondering...any tips on places to visit in Santa Fe? A friend and I are renting an artist studio there for a week at the end of the month. We're planning on working with a bit of time for seeing the sights, but I have a feeling we may end up exploring Santa Fe more than we think we will. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOH wow, I sure do Jennifer! Lucky YOU! I will compile a list. There is more to experience here than you can imagine. That is In addition to just sitting and soaking up the energy and magic of the landscape. Keep in mind Santa Fe is a singular experience. Not like anywhere else in New Mexico.
Deletelove seeing your photos ! also i need to take out my alabama chanin skirt i bought for my daughter and put it together.
ReplyDeletethanks for the reminder.
OH yes do that Kathy. It's surprising how the up front work and planning for the Alabama/Chanin type garments are more tedious than the sewing, which is actually a lot of fun!
Deletei love the sky, reminds me of colorado. some day i will visit santa fe and area...it will be the opposite of the adks which is so grand! enjoy a different sort of making!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at all your fiber stuff... so textured and earthy looking... and lunch with friends is also so stimulating.
ReplyDeletei may have mislaid your email address but i DO remember that you and Beethoven [and your grandbabies] share a birthday on the 16th day of the TwinkleLightMonth
ReplyDeletewishing you a splendidly happy day [and many more]
Thank you dear friend. And a belated Happy to you too! I am touched that you remember. I had a feeling the twinkle lights on your ute were spreading birthday magic.
DeleteJust had a good visit with your blog and marvelled at the renovations of your town house that you did by yourself (with some assistance)....in the last post. And to thank you for visiting my blog and for your mysterious comment about purging art supplies and journals and the power of now.
ReplyDeleteI would think that after such an empowering time with the many decisions of renovation that you have come out the other side completely changed and are ready to begin fresh and focused.
I hope that you post again soon. xx
Thank you for visiting Judy! There is still work to be done, so I'm not out the other side quite yet. I hope I'll post again soon too……..ox
