This is the page I did with Ann-tastic. I still need to add some text…mulling it around in my brain. I was showing A. the process I go through when I create a journal page. She is just beginning on her mixed-media art adventure–she’s a talented woman & will make some great art. Can’t wait to see it!

Managed to get a few chores done this morning. Maybe the Beijing pollution did something to my brain and that’s why I’ve been walking around in a fog. Snort.

Irrational…

I don’t sew.

So why, oh why, have I spent WAY too much time looking at Japanese craft books online…books with patterns like this:

If I happened to get my hands on such a craft book, could I actually make any of the quirky critters within? Heck, no. I can barely read an English pattern, let alone a Japanese one.

I also want need a handmade bag, like this (purse by MarketaNewYork, found on Etsy):

I did an art journal page this week with my friend Ann-tastic. I’ll post it tomorrow. I’ve had a hard time adjusting back to "normal" life since the China trip. I’m battling fatigue and the blahs…post-adventure let-down, I guess. I need some sort of challenge or swap to jump start my creativity. Suggestions???

Random stuff…

  • Two words: jetlag bites.
  • I uploaded some more China pics (I know, I see you yawning) in the China Photo Album (located in the column on the left).
  • Found Magic Pony, a delightful Canadian boutique with all kinds of cool stuff to give people for the holidays. I’m in love with Little Wedgehead (see below):

  • Haven’t been too creative except for this SB layout. Ho-hum. I’m hoping next week will be much more artful.
