Tip / Technique Tuesday

If you’re like me and you appreciate the need to swatch certain projects, the following tip might work for you.

Want to keep track of your swatch dimensions without pesky post-it notes that don’t always stay “posted” and in place?  Use marking tags instead.  I got these ones from Amazon but I’m sure you can find them at any office supply store.  This size is just the right size to record all the details I need to record.

The Start of Something Big …

“If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.” ~ Virginia Woolf

So I started to tell the truth about myself in the first week of the year (Jan 1 – 7th).  I honestly told the truth that I am tired of health issues.  I honestly told the truth that I’m tired of looking for professional changes — either in my current environment or another.  I honestly told the truth that this is not a year that I can sit passively but one where I have to take action.  I honestly told the truth that when the year is over, I’d like my blanket to be representative of contentment, excitement, refreshing and happiness rather than the moodiness / sadness which I’ve experienced during the first six days of the year.

This project already has the makings of being something big — tangibly and intangibly.

Here’s week one:
