I came home on Saturday after a 2 week workshop with Nancy Crow at the Barn titled Potpourri 1 and 2. To spend time with 27 other women who are pushing the boundaries of their work was more than a privilege. There was a wide range of experience but no limit on honesty, compassion, support and willingness to share technique and information. I wanted to pinch myself at times to make sure it was real. And then, when I slept for about 5-hours, sewed for 12 hours every day including sewing time on the weekend , got frustrated beyond belief when nothing would come of my efforts the last few days, drank a few glasses of wine and laughed until I cried, I knew it was real.
I met new friends (miss you Barb and Maria) , caught up with old friends from previous workshops, and worked side by side with Elizabeth . I am inspired , a little overstimulated, sad sad it’s done with but more than excited to get back to work in my studio.
Back to work after I put it all away.
I miss you too! I hope the unpacking goes smoothly–did you find cupcake I forgot in your backseat?
Actually, my black lab made good use of the cupcake in about 1 minute of the back door being open! Shucks, right? I am unpacked and ready to sew next week.
I miss you too, it seems odd to be back in real life. My windows open so wide! Thanks for all the rides, giggles and belly laughs!
Glad you can open your windows-haha! It was the best of times, you silly girl. Thanks to you as well. Keep in touch.
