Now I have all the time in the world and do nothing. I like the timer idea, have tried it before and it really helps.susan hemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784893342890918275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-75699373081638982002018-04-04T01:54:46.824-04:002018-04-04T01:54:46.824-04:00Thank you Judi, excellent idea.

But I can certainly do it for 15’ a day!

I wonder if you know the work of Julie Green? She does a daily meditation of painting each day and has produced some amazing things. For four years she sumi-ed a few shells every day on rice paper until she had enough to wallpaper the whole gallery with her paintings hung on top. Her husband Clay Lohman is a quilter.

She was an artist and had an area in her kitchen that was always set up for painting. By the time we met, her children were grown and she had become a quilter. I would express to her my frustration with motherhood and how it left me little time to make. She said, if you have a clean house that is a sure sign that you are not creating enough. Let the house work go. Keep the craft moving. Lovely post Judy. Thank you.Maria Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957467971593083397noreply@blogger.com
