Comments on: January love http://mimikirchner.com/blog/archives/2010/01/january-love/ the art and craft of Mimi Kirchner Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:59:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Angie http://mimikirchner.com/blog/archives/2010/01/january-love/comment-page-1/#comment-7878 Angie Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:28:37 +0000 http://mimikirchner.com/blog/?p=2486#comment-7878 Hi Mimi- I'm a longtime lurker and a big fan. Your creations make me smile and give me inspiration. I hope January proves to be a fresh start for you. And thanks for mentioning your struggle in school. It's such a drag for those of us who don't fit the mold but I'm so glad you found your passion and are doing what you love. I have to share that when my dad was within days of dying last April I was exhausted and couldn't concentrate on any of my normal projects, let alone be creative and think up something new. So when I came home from sitting with him all day I curled up on the couch with my large tin of buttons and sorted away for a couple evenings until they were all catagorized. I don't know why but it made me feel better. Buttons are lovely for so many reasons. Keep up the good work and thanks again for sharing your life on your lovely blog- Angie in WA Hi Mimi-

My studio is sunny and full of wonderful materials to work with. I'm working on a doll order and find I love doing dolls by commission. There are knitting projects swamping sections of my house, good books on the bedside table, a bowl of clementines in the kitchen. It's cozy. Beth I’m enjoying January, too.

Sometimes i just like to sit in the room and look around. it is a magical place of our own and i am glad that there are others out there that understand. i think my favorite part is touching all the fabric and buttons.

What a full year you had. I admire the things you have created and very much look forward to seeing what the new year brings forth. I am tempted to make the trip from the Berkshires to take your February workshop. I'll have to check into my family's schedule and see if it is doable. By the way, I just sorted my load of buttons. I have a jar for each color - but I like those plastic sorting boxes you have used. Easier to see individual buttons. I really enjoyed reading through your last few posts. What a full year you had.

I love the process of re-establishing order, before it all goes horribly wrong again! I am with you on September too! And as a teacher I feel even more that way! (I do love my job-but I love my summer holiday SO much!) Looks as if your sorting is coming on well! I love the process of re-establishing order, before it all goes horribly wrong again!
