The Wanderer is packed and we are
ready to take off to a warmer climate. One of the most frequent questions I get
is, do I miss my studio when traveling. The answer is yes, but I manage to get
my crafting fix. I have a craft space
instead of a studio.
The
last time out I misjudged how much time I would have for crafting ( I was also reading a Civil War historical
fiction series)
and took too many supplies. I didn't accomplish much because I hopped back and
forth between projects (and
was reluctant to put the books down.) For this trip, I have decided to focus on
the following four crafts. Focus? Really that is not something that is
often associated with me!
Here
is my plan:
I
will have my pens with which to tangle and have hopes of creating some funky
tangled characters. I am taking Jane Davenport’s Beautiful Faces for inspiration in drawing faces for my funky folks.
Of
course my travel easel and charcoal is on board.
I
am also taking my recently acquired 1953
Singer Featherweight as well as my Silhouette
Portrait. We will be spending the month of March in Florida near the
granddaughters. I think they are making a list of all the things we can make
while we are there.
In
addition to crafting, my other passion is reading (bet you didn't see
that coming,)
especially historical novels. I can get so caught up in a story I can easily
ignore chores and can read all night. So, due to my lack of discipline, I do
not allow myself to read at home. However when on the road, well why not.
So,
how can I put down my books and focus on my crafting? I am going to make
a commitment to post on this blog at the end of each week showing my projects
for that week. (We
will see how well this plays out!)
Keeping
to my word of the year, I am off to feed
my soul!
