Face Off

I just keep staring at that quiltlet, trying to come up with an epiphany for faces for mother and daughter. The clipart just doesn't work. It's too, what?, clippy. And the jewelry doesn't work; it's too, what, funky? And too dimensional. I don't really want my quilts to "stick out" that much. And any way, I think the faces should be more ephemeral or ethereal--or something that starts with an E. What I really would like is to have just the right faces and print them on a sheer fabric so that the background shows through the faces. I don't even thing that's possible. I could paint them on sheer fabric--that is, if I could paint that well. My sister, who is a wonderful painter, could do it--but the girl claims she's busy, busy, busy; I dare not ask her. Well, I have a month and two and a half days to come up with something.

Speaking of that--what happened to 2006? Did I sleep through most of it? Some short time ago (seems like maybe the day before yesterday), I opened this new day calendar on my desk. I look at it now, and it's all poofy with pasted in stuff, and it has writing all through it. Who did all that? Couldn't have been me? Will all the years from now on last only a few days like this one did? I better start making arrangements. I know time speeds up as we get older, but this is ridiculous. Could it be something peculiar to 2006--a glitch in the space/time continuum caused by global warming or something. (I fear global warming; there's no telling what it might cause). I just want to grab 2006 by the ears and yell, "Hey 2006! Hold it there. Where do you think you're going? We still have things to do." Or as my dear Aunt Edna (whom I love to quote) would likely say: "Hey, 2006, what did you come for--a ball of fire?" Love that Aunt Edna.
