Usually don't like to start celebrating Christmas season early but this year I got a beautiful birthday surprise.  A good friend presented me with a pink poinsettia.  It is beautiful and fragile.  My friend is a flower lover and she said she wish she had bought one for herself.  As a thank you I painted her a picture of her beautiful gift.  The painting could never be as beautiful as God's creation.  It is my humble thank you for this early start to Christmas. www.loisbajor.com     SHOP/GALLERY

The fabric from my new Fabric Line (soon to be announced) arrived and I was going to sew it into a sample upholstry piece this morning. The electric light bulb on my very old sewing machine did not turn on, I changed the bulb and than I discovered there was no power to the machine. Opened the machine up and low and behold the plastic socket had broken in two. Time to glue the pieces together. It was one of those rare moments when I had everything I needed to proceed, a new light bulb, gorilla glue and a small pliers. Being creative means being able to cope with unexpected problems that seem miles removed from issues of your first creative impulse.  How did I get so far from just designing fabric? Why were the things I needed available without a trip to the store? Years of creative experience and just plain luck I suppose.
