Tammy Gilley: January 2014
http://tammygilley.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 29, 2014. A Legend in My Own Mind. Was quoted as saying, "I figure if a girl wants to be a legend, she should go ahead and be one". I've always loved that quote. I mean, really, why not? It's like the popular tag line, "Just Do It". Lately, I've been spending a lot of time on Pinterest. A Lot Of. Time. I've been pinning home decorating ideas to my At Home. Boards, funky miscellaneous photos to my Love This. Board, beautiful fiber arts to my Stitchy Goodness board. And Color Me Happy.

http://jensnextchance.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Life at the intersection of art and parenting. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. I've spent the last few days thinking about dish towels. Literally. I'm working on creating Tea Towels from stash of stained and worn vintage table linens. Monday, November 26, 2012. Venessa made the turkey, stuffing, cranberries, gravy, mashed potatoes, and deep dish apple pie. All delish. My job was vegetable sides, bread and wine. This was a great assignment. Martha Stewart's Hearty Garlic Greens. 1-2 large sweet potatoes.

Jen's Next Chance: December 2012
http://jensnextchance.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Life at the intersection of art and parenting. Sunday, December 30, 2012. For this new year, I've decided to use my journal daily as a tool for artistic growth. I've journaled off and on throughout my life, leaning on it more or less depending on what I felt I needed. My tendency is to abandon it when I don't feel the need or have the energy and then to pick it up again as the mood strikes. Interestingly, this is also my relationship to my work. I want to change that behavior. It's time to get to work.

Jen's Next Chance: April 2013
http://jensnextchance.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Life at the intersection of art and parenting. Sunday, April 28, 2013. On Sundays, I want to give everything up for love. I want it all dyed red. I want the paint to peel, the floorboards to buckle. I want to burn it down. I want the crown of thorns. I want dresses made of scraps of silk and lace. I want everything whole and torn apart all at once. How do we get through these Sundays, brightness shining on this clear, sensational imperfection? Saturday, April 27, 2013. Friday, April 26, 2013. Tuesday, Ap...

Life at the intersection of art and parenting. Sunday, January 20, 2013. More Work In Progress, Pictures Not Words. So the problem with journaling on paper is that it reduces my need to journal here. The good thing about it is that I am creating lots of new work. Thursday, January 17, 2013. Sorry to be silent for so long. I have been busy in the studio, and though I have much to say, pictures will have to do for today. Sunday, January 13, 2013. Why I Sometimes Feel Bad About My Parenting. The last time I...

Jen's Next Chance: October 2013
http://jensnextchance.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Life at the intersection of art and parenting. Monday, October 21, 2013. It's All Painty Up In Here. Ellis has been inspired. He saw a painting of a lightning bolt at the movie theater and loved it so much he came home and wanted to paint something like it himself. Obviously, I had a moment of total parenting awesomeness. It was amazing not just because my child had a moment of inspiration but because I had everything on hand to help him realize his vision. Hooray for art supply hoarding! We used the Bal...

Life at the intersection of art and parenting. Thursday, January 2, 2014. Snow buries us deeper and deeper here in Chicago today. It's been a perfect day for stitching inside, reflecting on the gifts of 2013. I'll start the year here with some images that didn't make it to the blog last year. Ellis started Kindergarten in his Thumb and Pinky. I stitched some special orders. I made a robot costume. And it rained. A lot. Ellis learned to take a selfie. 2014, we can't wait.
