Recently a pen pal friend from a land far far away asked me what my blog domain was in her last letter to me. It got me thinking how I have abandoned my online journal displaying my projects. It has been well over 30 months since I had posted anything, and so much has happened in those 30 months. Life is so completely different from April 2013 in the way of where I live, my family structure, my day job and my long term goals. All of that craziness has not deterred the creative spirit inside however. Creativity has been my saving grace, my therapy through some turmoil I experienced in these past couple of years, and it has led me to new avenues of my creative expression.
So today I log into this blog, ready to freshen it up. It used to be named "The Joy of Quilting" because I wanted a space dedicated to this traditional form of American art that I have indulged in for the past 10 years. Now, I am experimenting with drawing and painting, deciding to keep the title simple and real by using my birth name.
In honor of the inspiration my pen pal gave me, please visit her blog at http://sewchicken.blogspot.com/ . Her art is incredible, and I admire her ability to span many forms of creative expression.
