Half way point reached in Renotta's creative challenge





 Welcome to my journey as I photograph something I create everyday for a year... RRT


R wrote - So just in case anyone is counting, today was my half way point. Hopefully it's all down hill from here. Stay tuned.
Clara - I am!!!  Congratulations on a super human effort!  And you still had time to tend 'Shop at Next Door', as well as becoming a granny (emotional effort).  As I have said before, it is fortunate that there are more hours in a day in the Northern Hemisphere.
The albino buck pillow is awesome, and it is great to see a fall inspired mobius scarf but my favourite is the runner with the images of your favourite textile pieces.  I appreciate the number of creative processes involved, integrating the old with the new.  I guess that's what Fit in Your Jeans (Grannycircle) is about. 
ps - which name do you like best - would love to hear your thoughts.

Table It...August 8th




I needed a change of pace, so I decided to do this table runner. I hand dyed a piece of muslin and appliqued fabric photo images of some of my favorite textile pieces from my collection. I like the mix of cultures.

    Thanks once again for the vote of confidence. I've been working everyday at the store in place of Andrea, so it's been a challenge keeping up with the project blog, but so far so good. I enjoyed doing the runner even though it took most of a rainy day to make, a luxury these days. Hopefully I'll have more time soon as things are settling down. Looking forward to your visit and some creative time in the studio with you. I like our new name and so does Roberto. We are both loving the food archives on babyboomerconnections. I'm still working on the apron concept with all your recipes printed on it. Progress is slow because my printer hasn't been cooperating, so I had to put it on the back burner, no pun intended.
