On March 20, 2006, seven years ago yesterday, I posted my first piece on flickr. I still remember the frustration and rejection because my "photo" was not an actual photograph, but a shot of some art work! Thank goodness they've loosened up about that! At the time I couldn't understand why they were touting groups, some of which contained specific art, but for some reason I was hauled off to the penalty box for awhile until it got all straightened out.

 

I'm working on an item which I may submit to a quilting magazine with a "lettering" theme. I love going into my archives and giving new life to old images. This typewriter was created by my husband for our website and remains there to this day. However I have altered it here and am not sure how it is going to end up on my final piece. Stay tuned . . . and thanks for your patience in waiting for me to reply and visit. I won't make the deadline if I don't stay focused.

 

Today I thought I had broken my machine when I tried to do some embroidery with the wrong pressure foot . . . oops . . .

 

“There is nothing to writing.

All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”

~ Ernest Hemingway ~

 

Well, I'm not "bleeding" from typing, but I have pricked my finger a number of times

on sewing needles!
