As for the great heraldry of artistry in our family, the need to make ends meet was paramount. My mother and grandmother were pretty crafty, but they still had to devote themselves to the family first.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-83102809139311791752008-09-12T18:47:00.000-07:002008-09-12T18:47:00.000-07:00I may not have read back far enough in your blog t...I may not have read back far enough in your blog to know this, if you've already posted about it - but is your entire family artistic?

One of the ways to get "relaxed" is to do quick work to get the creative juices flowing again. It's kind of like mentally and artisically stretching!Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-81844424489667775262008-09-03T08:15:00.000-07:002008-09-03T08:15:00.000-07:00Those are beautiful!
