poetry

Summer poetry session this morning! Our assignment for this week was to write a poem using the word "precipice". Quickly gathering my thoughts, together with pen and paper, I starting writing last night. After having left it go for a while, I never realize how much I miss writing until I am pressed to do it. And it was a lovely session and lunch with a lovely group!

paper piles!

Not planning on it, I started sorting paper piles this morning. All day! Art stuff, other stuff, all mixed together. Sorting, sorting, sorting. Filing, filing, filing. Shredding, shredding, shredding. An accomplishment for the day. Me and Timber have sore backs and headaches.

Biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning! Dan is coming. Danielle is still sleeping. zzzzz
A cool morning and I hear the train whistle. Two of my favorite things.

pages done!

Ready for "Creative Spirits" tomorrow night, I have my assigned pages done! This one is to the theme of "Art Journal". Random thoughts, quotes, pictures.

This one, "Trees, Wood". Colors of trees, leaves, wood. A nature theme.

Starting the week off right

Yesterday, a nice day at The Center with my friend, Peggy, who came to help me put magazines and other supplies into my new space in the newly emptied cabinet there. Thank you, Lois. Ann came too as she had mistaken the time for my workshop the other day, and instead of coming in the morning, was just arriving when we were leaving. We made up the time yesterday.

Today finishing up two collage ledger pages due tomorrow for "Creative Spirits". And want to look through my photographs for inspiration for a collage, like when I did the Newberry one. I loved doing that one and I got to visit it last week at my friend Eve's office, its new home.

"White Kitty" has had a little vacation at Grandma's house. Danielle left her here the other day. I promised I would make sure she was comfortable. "Daddy" and her are coming by this morning for breakfast and I know they will be happy to see each other. You had a nice rest, White Kitty.

projects, projects, projects

Have a long list of projects going. Ongoing. Chipping away at the list and a sense of accomplishment happens every so often. This drawing, done a week ago at our session of summer art, is for the 2009 calendar at The Center. The Herb Cottage's window that I love.

Today continuing with yesterday's pretty good start on ledger pages for the Creative Spirits group.
