WIP: "Stitches"

Committing to posting a WIP brings back memories; I haven’t reported WIP in years. My first real experience with WIP was in the clothing manufacturing industry. I was fresh out of university and ready to dive into the fashion industry with both feet.

My experiences in the fashion industry were literally awesome. They were extremely impressive. They were extremely daunting. They inspired great admiration. They instilled great apprehension and fear. What I hope to have gained from years of perspective and other experiences in other industries is a more cultured, educated, and deeper sense of adventure in creative ventures.

I hope you enjoy my perspective on my various projects. I can’t tell you at this time what direction I’m headed. My honey tells me that my creativity is organic: ever-evolving, alive, and reacting to the environment.

I’m not always very good at finishing a project unless I have a “due date”.  Perhaps committing to a WIP Wednesday will help me to reduce my fabric stash, and finish projects.

I must thank Monika Kinner-Whalen for the “pruning” her garden of commitments; she has given me the opportunity to add to my garden. I’ve been a keen observer of Monika’s work for a couple of years now. Her excitement about and skill with using textiles creatively has reminded me of what I have missed about textiles for a couple of years. I can only hope that I can provide you with something as enticing as what Monika has created for many, many Wednesdays.

I have kept many blogs, but am starting Laurel’s Stitches (http://laurelsstitches.blogspot.ca/) from scratch. Right now, I need a clean canvas. I am currently quilting, but I do sew, embroider, knit, and crochet pretty much as my muse nudges me. Thank you for reading and I hope you continue to follow along with TN&TN.

I have no photos to share with this post and I promise to get better with time.
