Other fun and excitement is that I finally, after years, started going through my closets at my parents' house. I made room here in my costume closet for fabric samples I got from my brother years ago when he sold futons. There is even more fabric hidden at Mom and Dad's but we haven't been able to put our paws on it yet. I've got a significant amount already, just today, though! One piece is to recover the dining chair downstairs. It was sanded a few months ago, and has been patiently awaiting a new seat cover.
I also came across three brand new photo frames that match others I have here at my house. I could definitely use them, and it was a nice surprise. Oh, and another tiny surprise is that I now have three book screws from a bolt of fabric (if I make two covers, and choose awesome art paper to put inside, the book is literally bolted together with these screws), so I'm looking forward to that project as well because bookmaking is fun!
Lastly, I remembered that the St. Tammany Art Association offers clay, a kiln, and even classes for a small fee. There are so many clay and ceramic projects I've been needing and wanting to tend to....woo! I will be one busy little artist here this summer! May as well be, though. The job market is terrible, and it's too hot to stay outside for very long on days off.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend! I also hope that you, too, can find some treasures that make you happy and inspired!
