The next 4 What Girls Want quilts. I can’t see the end yet. 118-121.
The first four What Girls Want quilts. They are about 5″ x7″. I’m having fun, can you tell? Numbers 113-117.
Alright, I must be out of my flippin’ mind, but I am going to start a series of small quilts, featuring what women want. I have assembled all I need, including new markers, which are essential for all endeavors. And I will spend some time today writing down the dreams of girls. Then I’ll begin the sewing, my favorite part, soon.
I made a purse from some painted fabric, this is number 112 for the year. It has a magnetic clasp under the red leaf.
Today I went to get a haircut. I was in the mood for a change, so I tried Vicki’s Wash and Wear Haircuts, in downtown Ann Arbor. My friend, Linda Klenczar, got hers done a few weeks ago, and I admired it. So, this is my story.
My hair looks like a shrub. If it has nothing on it, you can clearly see the layers, like it has been cut around 4 different size bowls. I blew it dry before these pictures, and fluffed it. Before, front view.
Before, left side.

I like it. It is short, but I think much more flattering. And I expect it will grow out well, without having to be tortured with round brushes and gel. Plus, the shop, Heavenly Metals is a wonderful candy box of delights. There are all sorts of beautiful things to use and wear. I found at least 6 things I wanted, a couple scarves, embroidered, and silk ones, some jewelry made with buttons, (that was not country style,) at least 2 felted purses with tres cool flowers and or spots. And I had husband in tow, so could not look long. I recommend going.
This is the inspiration for a new challenge. The fiberart piece must use these colors, and the subject is to be chickens. Due May 6th, I’ll post.
A Mexican Marigold stool, and a Dog Dreams stool, painted today. These are mine to keep, for use in the mosaic room. Numbers 110-111.
Numbers 99-109, fused glass. I will drill holes in the large ones, and hang them in windows. Some of the small ones will go in mosaics, some will be drilled for jewelry.
