This morning, I packed up two orders, walked to the post office, then the bank, then the library and back home. And somehow, since I haven&#8217;t done any sewing, I feel like I haven&#8217;t gotten anything done! So, now I am writing a blog post. Last week I took a super-fast, overnight trip to Brooklyn to see the year-end show at the NYU Game Center where one son is getting his MFA. Next week, I will probably go back again for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mister-finch.com\/\">Mister Finch<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevenkasher.com\/\">show<\/a>. Busy, busy!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a table full of foxes waiting for me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526foxes.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9085\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526foxes.jpg\" alt=\"5:26:foxes\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526foxes.jpg 400w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526foxes-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But, I&#8217;ve gotten distracted by ornaments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526ornaments.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9086\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526ornaments.jpg\" alt=\"5:26:ornaments\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526ornaments.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526ornaments-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/526ornaments-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I was asked to design some ornaments for West Elm, I needed to come up with a lot of ideas and then they picked what they wanted. The thing is, I liked all of them! It has been tickling the back of my conscious brain ever since that I should move forward with these others and make patterns. I even got started a few times but ended up getting flooded with ideas and then feeling overwhelmed. This time, I said I would teach a class to make ornaments. That is the way I finish things- commit to someone else. So, moving forward! So far I have a fish, a whale, robot, and a long list, drawings, and first try prototypes of lots of other things. I will keep you informed as they move forward.<\/p>\n<p>What else? I am taking a class to make the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colettepatterns.com\/sewing\/cooper\">Cooper bag<\/a>. I know, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/busman%27s_holiday\">busman&#8217;s holiday<\/a>, but I knew I wouldn&#8217;t get to it if I didn&#8217;t schedule a time. Hopefully it will be done on Wednesday evening and then I can show you.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to Portland, Oregon in July (8- 13). So excited!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if I mentioned it before, but a reminder since I&#8217;m making a list here- I am not planning on doing any shows this year. It doesn&#8217;t look like that will slow down my traveling though!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is lots going on around here.
