Artist Way Quilters: Chap 8 Check-in January 15, 2006">Chap 8 check-inChap 8 check-in I have not done well with my morning pages this week. Our break really took its toll on that morning habit. I only wrote 4 out of 7 days. Although I didn't doe them every day, on the days I did write it seems to come more easily.
I not only treatedmy artist well this week. She was spoiled rotten. It started on Thursday evening when I got together with two friends to knit. It was fun and it's always nice to be able to get together with friends who share in the same interest. Unfortunately I do not have any friends nearby who quilt. At least not yet.
Then on Friday, I arrived home from work to find no one but TWO quilting catalogs. I just love to look through quilting catalogs, even if I'm not interested in ordering anything at the time.
On Saturday I had my Saturday Sampler class. I've learned so much taking that class. I've done blocks that I'm not sure I would have tried yet if it were on my own. Going to their shop is alway so enjoyable for me. I walk out with my head full of quilts to be made, and very often my arms full of stuff to make them! And for my final moment of artist child gluteny, after wanting one for the past couple of years, I bought an Ott-Lite. It was on sale at 50% off. Without the sale I would have been without the light. So no more struggling to see what color blue that blue is. I had a couple of blocks to cut out and it went so much easier using the light. My artist child is skipping around and singing!

I couldn't stand looking at the typos I didn't see before I hit "publish" so I deleted my comment and will try one more time (with feeling!)
Skipping and singing and cutting out quilt blocks? What, I ask you, could be better than that?
I think the break took it's toll on all of us, but I'm still optimistic. We have 4 more weeks to take back those good morning pages/artist date habits.
Sophie, you're so good. Were you a nun in another life?
I sort of look at it that the commitment we made for AW was only 12 weeks and we're 2/3 of the way though it - I've always said that I should be able to do anything for a year. . or two, so surely I can get myself through the last 4 weeks of this and get some benefit out of it. Of course, I'm also already contemplating 12 weeks of Walking in This World! Some people are a glutton for punishment! LOL!
YAH for treating your artist so well! Nothing wrong with that once in awhile! :o)
