A Perfectionist’s Paint Story
When I was a child I loved to draw, paint, and color on the walls with crayons. My love for creativity was a natural need for as long as I can remember. When I was five I began taking art classes every summer with my aunt who was fortunate enough to own her own art school. She could take an inexperienced artist, and instruct them in such a way that their art would rival Picasso. As I got older my mom wouldn’t allow me to take art classes at school, telling me that I already had that knowledge, and I needed to choose other electives in school to make me well rounded. That didn’t do much for me as all I did was change instruments every year as I hated taking anything that wasn’t art.

Things That Are Real
"The world is happening to you, it will come to you." It is very easy for me to drown in a sea of mundane things. This is, to me, is about technology, social media, phone calls, and the pressure to be successful, in spite of the economic downturn, they are constantly exposed to me?

Making The Best of a Difficult Situation
Making The Best of a Difficult Situation Debrarose Toscano Year after year I found myself unable to attend quilt shows due to various reasons: to far away, to expensive, unavailable due to work or family obligations etc.…. and then came COVID. After dealing with all the restrictions that we instantly had to face and sewing feverishly making face mask for family, friends, neighbors local nursing homes I was tired, nervous, and depressed. Until one day I read an email from Mancuso Show Management informing all of us that they were going to hold their first virtual quilt show. I immediately went to their website to check it out and instantly signed up for their event including various classes. I attended classes in each of their virtual shows in 2020 – wow what a great experience I was in my glory!!

Reframing 101: The Power of Perspective

5 Simple Steps to Get S.M.A.R.T. About Your Fitness and Wellness Goals
If you’re anything like me there have been countless times where you’ve sat down with a pen and paper to write out goals you want to achieve over the next few weeks or months. Whether it’s for New Year’s or an upcoming special occasion, you’ve meant the goals you set and start out motivated for the first couple of weeks only to fall off track and leave them unfinished. It’s easy when we’re at this low point to think we ourselves are the problem, but in fact a large part of the issue lies in how we plan and set our goals. It wasn’t until I heard about the S.M.A.R.T method that I realized I had been going about goalsetting all wrong.

Fluff
An old New Home sewing machine sits to my left. An elderly pair of scissors sits to its left, waiting to be used for the next project. A cut out scrub top sits draped, onto the plastic chair, waiting for its introduction to the mechanics and magic of the machine to form it into a practical piece of clothing. To my right is a four shaft, six treadle J-Made floor loom. The warp, waiting for the throw of the boat shuttle to produce another line of the rosebud sampler that I am making. It's weft is 8/2 burgundy cotton thread which is shimmering in the sunlight. The kitchen table sports a ten year old UFO of crewel embroidery, a cute picture of a puppy and a kitten. I found it in my stash a couple of weeks ago. I figured that this year it would be finished come hell or high water.
