This is to remind folks when to empty the dishwasher. I’ve tried with the magnets that say “Clean” on one side and “Dirty” upside down so you are supposed to twist them around, but it’s easier to slap this on whenever we run the dishwasher. It’s recyclable because it’s just on heavy sketchbook paper with a loop of masking tape to hold it on. When not on active duty it lives on the whiteboard nearby. And when we need a change of appearance, it’s quickly replaced.
Are you ever gobsmacked by synchronicity? The other day I was browsing through an old copy of Mark Lipinski’s Quilter’s Home (the only magazine for quilters that’s fun to read) when I found an article entitled A GPS for Quilting Creativity. This is the March 2009 issue. The wild thing is that I already did this exercise, although I have totally no recollection of having read this article.
Digging through older sketchbooks, I located the pages I’d created, and have now cut them into another sketchbook and personalized the cover. That way this tool won’t disappear again and will be handy as I want to add to the pages. For now I’m going to share K. & this is Y: (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun!)
Last week I watched a documentary “Real Men Knit” which of course had interviews with Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably. I’m deep in the throes of domino knitting, and the other K is I’ve signed up to take Elizabeth Barton’s Quilt University design class and the artist to whom I look for inspiration is Paul Klee. (Note to self: do the prep work before the book is due back to the library and the class starts!)
