I was not a kid who liked to play in the dirt. I don't like to get dirty, and I don't like to get sticky. But a girls gotta' do what a girl's gotta' do, so I pulled out the Mod Podge and Mod Podged me up a little storm. And then for good measure, I threw in some Fabri-tac and applique glue. Plus sandpaper and steel wool. Good times.
If you were wondering... that little girl in the back of picture 2, is indeed me. I think this photo was taken at my fifth birthday party. (I printed it out on fabric for the project above). In the background: Cousins Cornelia and Heidi and Great Aunt Anne for whom my Anna is named.
Now back to less messy endeavors, like sewing.
You've stopped at the online journal of Bari Ackerman (the J. is for Jill, my middle name). I am a fabric, sewing pattern and surface designer. I love to create. And, I love to share ideas and dreams with other creative people. I hope you'll stay for a visit. And, feel free to chime in on the conversation. You know, so I don't think I'm talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
