Thanks to you Elaine for inviting Anna to be a guest blogger at vacation time - a great time for the Da Vinci principles. judithkhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222373504029195323.post-73294864202854520652012-08-12T21:59:44.297-07:002012-08-12T21:59:44.297-07:00Karen - feeling guilty is counterproductive!

Not everything is art - or has to be art! My personal focus is on creativity! Baking and decorating a cake, arranging a flower bouquet - they are all acts of creativity.

Teaching and mentoring have taken up most of my time so far! It will be early October before I can get back into the studio to produce. The good news: I have several concrete ideas for some large work - all I need now is uninterrupted time to create...something I look forward to!

I do follow your blog and I can see you are a whole brain thinker. You have extraordinary talent and skills and I am hoping to be able to take a class from you next year.<br />I too morphed from a traditional quilter to an art quilter but when ever I am stumped or feel stuck I will do a small traditional quilt, it really gets my mind working again, just stitching is meditative , quiets my mind and the ideas start bubbling up. By the way I still can't see how you can accomplish so much and be so prolific, I would imagine you have to have tremendous self discipline . Sigh, have to say I am lacking in that department.<br />Thank you for sharing and I will print out your article it is certainly worth re-reading and sharing, MarilynLuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431850436258955079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222373504029195323.post-89287406448972589872012-08-12T17:07:39.407-07:002012-08-12T17:07:39.407-07:00I agree with Martha - I will reread this several t...I agree with Martha - I will reread this several times to take it all! One thing that pleased me: I had been feeling 'guilty' for working on traditional quilts and not producing art quilts, but it is indeed like meditation and gave my busy mind a rest.Karen Jurekhttp://www.karenjurek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222373504029195323.post-28921888309256210052012-08-12T09:24:50.663-07:002012-08-12T09:24:50.663-07:00Glad you found this article worth saving.
