My friend is much like your partner in that he is calm and steady and can calm and steady me when I start to get stressed. I think he is even more helpful to me because he is not an artist so any of his experiences he might share come from a totally different place than when I share frustrations with my quilting friends. I love that he can be firm with me, and then make me laugh!<br /><br />And isn't it amazing how quickly those deadlines sneak up on us if we don't keep an eye on them and have a plan. Good luck to you as you get your work made for the festival.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments about my posts - so glad you enjoy them.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-18258186427118694402017-04-23T16:41:12.544-07:002017-04-23T16:41:12.544-07:00Dear Sheila, thanks so much for updating, it is so...Dear Sheila, thanks so much for updating, it is so cool reading what are you doing. Your comment about having a friend to get accountable with art work reminded me that in the church we have this too in discipleship or prayer partnership. It helps a lot in spiritual walking. I, for example, tend to be very anxious and stressed about everything and I got a partner that is so calm that she helped me a lot through the years with her example. About exhibition deadlines... yes, I know them too, as in the Sumi-e classes we are counting the months until the first weekend of July, when Japan Festival happens.<br />Thanks for sharing so generously your creative process and your life.<br />It is a joy reading your posts.Lucia Sasakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698589553453660688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-88493924779195748942017-04-23T13:50:14.570-07:002017-04-23T13:50:14.570-07:00Oh ya……you are definitely working hard…..love the ...Oh ya……you are definitely working hard…..love the direction you are going!!The Inside Storihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984299652568523595noreply@blogger.com
