with the rain settling in on seattle for the winter, i’m caught between the miserable feeling knowing that the sun will be gone for the next 8 months and staying positive with the thought of snow + skiing just around the corner. 

today was the perfect day to browse through the SAM, which i hadn’t done in years.  the new expansion opened a few months ago so it was great to browse through the new spaces as well as all the new exhibits.  they have a great collection of modern art and i really enjoyed discussing the possible meaning of a few totally random pieces.  there were a few quilts to give inspiration, especially one from gee’s bend (i stumbled upon their collections a few years ago when i was looking for modern quilt inspiration).  the ladies from gee’s bend are truly unique and inspiring!

my quilt collection has been at the top of my list lately.  i need to get the designs into cad/photoshop and the fabrics finalized so i can sweet talk my mom into making a few for me to photograph.  and the name is still up in the air…  ugh!

heather and i have been talking about designing a website for tourism in burwell… so that would be a nice contract opportunity for us both!  and i have so much volunteer stuff to get done in the next few months with asid & legislation preparation for idcw, that i’m sure filling the time inside won’t be a problem.
