I think one of the problems with challenges is that they make you feel guilty (as several of the comments suggest). I've pretty much decided that I won't be doing any challenges and one of these days I'm going to write a rant about it in my blog. Nothing like being a stick-in-the-mud!<br />best, nadia<br />PS.

I am pleased to see that I am not the only one wishing to be a part of a bigger group but lacking drive ;)<br />I have yet to do anything but try the bubble printing ;) ... dismal prospect of anything positive as I am trying to get those lovely bubbles on fabric. Think I will try a touch of ink instead of paint ... I seem to recall something from my watercolour beginnings re: ink & soap ! ?<br /><br />I have 3 daughters ... only one of them shows an interest in sewing and has made a few bags ... and all of them (+ son) claim not to be able to draw a straight line ! 3 of my grands show artistic leanings : } yay !!Threadpainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575214840766105122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199320800173971648.post-56228315971353989072013-07-07T06:46:27.235-04:002013-07-07T06:46:27.235-04:00I do so know what you mean about challenges - I in...I do so know what you mean about challenges - I intend every month to start doing the sketchbook challenge as I work in mine a lot - but I never seem to find the time to get myself sorted. This month's theme sounds particularly inviting - I must take a grip and post!<br />I<br /> do the photo challenge Roy G Biv (see my blog for the latest - the colour blue) which is fun and makes me look at the colour around me in a different way every month but I'm not sure whether that will continue when the current round is finished. I may then be searching for something new to do - so many thanks for the ideas.<br /><br />Having an arty, stitch-minded granddaughter must be a joy. My two little ones are too young - though the oldest (aged 3) loves crafting, so hope there, perhaps. Like her mother, she will no doubt do her own thing!<br />Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199320800173971648.post-88992585886389661212013-07-06T07:39:33.820-04:002013-07-06T07:39:33.820-04:00Thanks Sue !

This new piece will have at least a 2" border on it as well ... so quite large for me.<br /><br />She does sew ! ... and is always devising something for her wardrobe ,,, loves taking an old blouse and making a skirt ... makes her own bow-ties, .... small things like that, and she runs a sewing machine very well. She will broaden those skills in the next few years ... mostly all that she has done is by word of mouth (mine), she figures it out and does it on her own.Threadpainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575214840766105122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199320800173971648.post-4562447481159793392013-07-06T07:33:19.031-04:002013-07-06T07:33:19.031-04:00Hi Marny ... it's a bit of a scary thing and I...Hi Marny ... it's a bit of a scary thing and I, too, am usually so overwhelmed (good word) as well by the energy of artists, that reading is all I can do ... but it is time to 'play' a bit. The bubble printing isn't working for me so some more reading/experimenting is required.<br />Gk #2 is a great kid and actually likes to go with Grandma whenever I'm doing demo's or gallery sitting ... sitting tomorrow, actually !Threadpainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575214840766105122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199320800173971648.post-13492073643702322542013-07-05T19:21:26.684-04:002013-07-05T19:21:26.684-04:00The artworks in Museum look amazing, and it was ni...The artworks in Museum look amazing, and it was nice to see your piece with the machine. It's always hard to get an idea of the size of things when it's just a pic, but I see the one you're working on is quite large. Looks good!
