mossrose s weblog life as an artist weaver spinner knitter crafter mossrose s weblog life as an artist weaver spinner knitter crafter how has so much time passed june 7 2019 i am now a grandmother to two little girls i spend weekdays caring for them and trying to get back into working on my artwork this next week i start a watercolor class with diane lawrence of berryton i took a class with her last saturday and really enjoyed it i am also get more involved in rug hooking i have been working on getting mcgown certification for the last two years in dubuque iowa and have been able to take classes with michelle micarelli and tricia travis you can see some of my current work on my facebook page moss rose designs posted in uncategorized leave a comment time passes september 19 2012 i sure have been lax on blogging this year i think there has been so much to process that i couldn t find any more energy on september 11 i got the call that my mother in law had passed away she had been in the hospital the previous monday through friday when she was released to go back to the pines the next day home health called me saying her eyes were glazed and she was unresponsive and they were wondering what to do we decided she should be sent back to the hospital they decided maybe she could have some morphine and then they shipped her back monday i got a call saying she was now eligible for hospice so jim and i went in to set that up we have some hard feelings about how long it took them to get her into hospice but that is another story her funeral was saturday in osmond ne it was a beautiful day and people seemed to be having a good time remembering by that night though i felt like my exhaustion had caught up with me we drove home the next day and are now trying to get our life back together again i have worked two days so far subbing i work part of the day friday and then again on monday it hardly seems worth the effort here are the pictures i promised of what i have been working on this painting is based on a picture the instructor had of a boat on lake michigan this next watercolor i can most relate to as i saw a lot of farmland with snow on it growing up in wisconsin the pillow is a class i took this late summer i learned a lot of different techniques doing this so you can see i did do some interesting this summer i now need to get the energy to get going again posted in sewing watercolors leave a comment what should i do now august 12 2012 school starts in three days this is the first time in over 5 years that i didn t have a position to go to i was accepted to sub in the local district but that isn t the same and it will not be easy or very lucrative this uncertainty has me on edge posted in school work 2 comments what an opportunity august 12 2012 my mother turned 75 on the 9th in honor of this she my niece and i went to sturgeon bay to take a watercolor class the teacher connie glowacki was delightful and i can t recommend her enough she is a wonderful painter and very encouraging if you ever have a chance you should check out her work my mother worked on a barn in winter my niece trista is new to painting but i think she did a good job my work isn t finished but i hope to post it soon posted in arts and crafts watercolors leave a comment this year we got a vacation july 28 2012 it was two years since our last vacation that meant i hadn t seen my mother and siblings in that long the situation with work and moving my mother in law down here kept getting in the way so it was nice to have a chance to get away our first getaway was to branson this was a first for us jim s uncle let us use his timeshare for a week i couldn t imagine being in a place for that long without it being at a relatives but we managed to do it we went to craft malls several shows and tried out different restaurants our second trip was to wisconsin to see my family by way of minnesota we spent about two weeks there we went to an amish store and bought bulk foods and visited with a rug weaver it got me feeling like getting my loom going we brought my mother back here and she spent almost two weeks here i tried finding things for her to do i took her rughooking with me one day and took her to a sewing class to learn how to make a coiled basket she started a quilt top and seemed to have a good time about a week ago we all piled in the van to go to a wedding in omaha the next day it was back in the van for wisconsin to take her back home it is a long trip so we tried to find interesting stops to break up the trip we finally got home on thursday it was an all day trip with stops in mineral point and madison i need to find an inexpensive way to break up this trip as doing the trip in just one day takes a big toll i think we covered 7 states in our travels so far this summer which seems like more than enough lewis and clark visitor center in nebraska city ne the basket mom sewed in the class we took the wild flower prairie at mom s posted in travels vacation leave a comment i need a plan for fall july 28 2012 at this point i have had no responses to the job applications i submitted for jobs i feel a little remorse for not staying at the last place but emphasis is on the little i do need to do something though to keep myself employable and to generate some income i imagine i will sub locally but i can t take a steady diet of that so need to work out what i can do creatively 1 i have a chip carved plate to finish 2 i have to finish a hooked rug pattern of christmas star 3 i have a small mat to finish of the manger 4 i have christmas quilt to finish 5 i have a carved jesus to finish 6 i want to paint the portrait of heather and scott i have sketched out 7 i have some baby blankets to finish 8 i want to sew some baby bibs 9 i need to finish the christmas dish towels i have started 10 i have a sheep mat to finish up 11 i want to weave off the warp i have on the big loom 12 i have a hummingbird to finish carving 13 i have a watercolor class scheduled for the fall 14 i have a bunny rug to bind 15 i have to learn to use my circular sock machine i have many projects started that need finishing now if i can find the balance and energy to get them done posted in arts and crafts leave a comment vacation continued june 20 2012 upon our arrival in branson we checked into the timeshare jim s uncle set up for us it was a beautiful place it was hard sitting through the sales presentation the next day but once that was over the week was ours to enjoy tuesday night was a performance by the oak ridge boys what a fine performance that was for some reason we had 4th row seats so we had a good view of it all wednesday afternoon we went to the sights and sounds theater and saw a performance of joseph the theater was beautiful and the performance included animals and children it was a very meaningful presentation thursday afternoon we went to see jim stafford at 68 he still is funny and a skilled musician he had his teenage son and daughter who also performed masterfully on the piano all in all we saw some great shows i bought a hammered dulcimer from a craftsman at the branson mill he gave me a deal as the top plate had warped some the tone is beautiful though and he said he would replace it if it became less stable jim ended up buying a used lathe from the same guy for the last two years he has been wanting to learn how to make turned pens now we just need to find the person who can give him instructions on that during the rest of vacation we drove around and saw where the tornado had devastated the town on feb 29th of this year went to the butterfly palace did some shopping and just tried to enjoy ourselves we are now back home and life s problems were there to greet us but hopefully we can handle them better after the break tags vacation posted in vacation leave a comment a much needed vacation june 19 2012 precious moments chapel recently my husband s uncle offered us the use of his timeshare so we took him up on it and just got back from a week in branson i can t remember a time when we ever took a vacation that didn t involve going to a relative s to visit them so this was something different for us on the way down we stopped in carthage mo to see the precious moment s chapel it is amazing i got so involved in looking at the art work that i lost track of what it was supposed to represent if you ever get a chance you should go i thought they were so sweet looking posted in vacation leave a comment i am trying to get back on my feet again may 29 2012 i spent the first few days off just sleeping it doesn t seem like one should have to sleep that much i only had one nap today though i signed up for a class at the fabric corner to learn how to machine quilt they are bringing in a presenter so i should have a major challenge coming next week i have been doing pinterest lately my daughter got me interested in it on the days i feel especially tired i pin pictures to refer back to later i am also hoping that the people who pinned them gain some benefit from this for the artists who sell their work maybe they will get a new patron i have learned many new things by studying it i have tried two new recipes and have lined up some new projects to make down the road i spent this morning scanning some of my mother in law s pictures i uploaded them to facebook so her other sons can see them my next step is to upload them to a site to make a book that includes the names and some of their stories it is amazing how much time this is taking though the challenge i gave my family and friends was to do 1 new thing each week and to try to spend 15 minutes per day doing something that makes you happy so far i have done the 1 new thing and spent 2 3 days doing the 15 minute projects it is slow progress but progress none the less posted in ramblings summer time leave a comment hello it is me again may 22 2012 school is now done for the year at this point i am not sure when i will go back i turned in my resignation yesterday it has been a perfect storm of issues at school and health issues with my mother in law and i don t have any more to give at the moment two weeks ago i stepped out of a hall only to have a running student hit me and i ended up on the floor i don t think she did it intentionally but my head still ended up hitting the floor i remember lying there and thinking there had to be something better for me somewhere posted in uncategorized 2 comments older entries recent posts how has so much time passed time passes what
