My Favorite Smell...

...is the smell of warm sewing machine. It's the oil, metal and memories connected with sewing. I get high when I create. Music playing, focus to a bare minimum, artwork in front of me. Sometimes I even forget to breathe!
I was a woman on a mission this weekend! I have been updating my website, adding more artwork, putting prices for my pieces on each page , you know-wrapping up loose ends (more on this later). All of this brought me to the fact that I don't make large works of art as often as smaller and easier to finish ones!
So!

Out came the journal. Off to the art supply store to buy a cheapy projector, I am off and running on a new piece! AND for the first time ever, this piece is male oriented! omigoddess!

I know this is a wonky photograph and it really doesn't explain much but it's blogable.
What do you think about 'blogable' as a word?
Yesterday, I washed, figured out and got the whole thing basted. I did so much creating I felt awesome today (at work even)!

Diversionary photo:

We made salmon stuffed dumplings on Sunday. Salmon, cabbage, ginger soysauce, and mustard all wrapped up and lightly fried. it reminds me of being in my late teens, sailing the Long Island Sound with my mom and pop, coming home, hot, tired and hungry to make a double batch of these little guys.

I finished Repose, formerly known as 'The Bitch'! She is in my gallery
