Opportunity Knocks
I have been offered the artist in residence position that I talked about in my last post That should help me focus on my work as I will be setting regular hours and treating my work like a job. I will have studio space in a senior center and I will work with the seniors to create a heritage quilt.
I am excited about this opportunity. I have talked about wanting separate studio space away from home for a long time. Now that dream is coming true and I am just waiting to see if what I wanted works for me. I will have a lot of room to spread out and a ton of storage space.
This is coming just in time as I have been taking a vacation from work since I got to NY two weeks ago. I have been seeing friends and family and having fun. I have been reading and beading and walking, but hardly any sewing or designing. I don't even have my next project in mind yet. That almost never happens. I am usually mentally one or two projects ahead as I work on a current one. I know, though, that as I pick up the pace of work everything will fall into place.
I went into Manhattan to see a show with my friend Leah yesterday. As we walked from the train we passed through the Garment Center and stopped in at Mood Fabrics. That is the store made famous from Project Runway. What a great store! They have three floors of all kinds of fabric, roll after roll of silk, cotton, velvet, etc. I did not have a ton of time so did not buy anything, just enjoyed looking. I will definitely go back with more time to spend.
Bren this is wonderful! I am so happy "with " you! I can see us jumping up and down right now!
Bravo !
Jacque
