YAY! Spring is here! Ahhhhh ....
FAIRYLAND FLOWERS
I can finally get on to making some designs online for my "print on demand" POD shops and I finally have some incentive and interest in making some sewing projects!
It's been a rough couple of months. Since the time from when I got home from Arizona until just a few weeks ago, life has been full of unwanted, nerve-wracking experiences, some of which were severely JARRING!
Having health issues in which you end up being hospitalized for a week is kind of a bother, oh boy! But, things are much better now. We got through it and now have to do the things we have to do for follow-up doctors visits and try to live a much healthier lifestyle. My partner had an issue with COPD, congestive heart failure, afib, a couple of strokes and mild heart attack! Now, he is fine. Diabetes II was diagnosed too, which is what all of this trouble stemmed from, we are told. HE IS FINE NOW! Thankful and now we both feel more at ease.
There was no way I could even dream about art or designing during all of this. I don't do creativity well when I pulled in way too many directions and am having anxiety over my own health. I have RA and I am not always able to 'be there' when needed, so I push myself, the adrenaline takes over. I end up getting sick. It took a while for me to feel centered and better again, like I've finally rested and can now free up my mind to create. JOY!
NOW IT'S TIME TO GET INTO SPRING COLORS!
I am making a color palette for my newest designs for spring. I want to use cherries, strawberries, gingham checks, maybe some chevron stripes, polkadots and patchwork quilt style. Embellishments will include some bric-a-brac ribbon, maybe some ribbon flowers, beads, glitter, felt look flowers, mushrooms and buttons. Oh, and backgrounds may include the wonderful lattice work effect!
