Hello world!
studio
My first post! Today I woke up after a fun day with my stained glass student Maureen. She always makes me feel better and more motivated. I have been trying to finish a lsit of repairs and UFOs for years and she suggested making a list of them and crossing them off as they get done. Well low and behold it is a working idea. The first day I did five. After working 4 hours we went to lunch at Glory Days which was a very welcome surprise. It rained during the day which put a damper on my yard sale for Saturday idea. Oh well there are other weekends and this way I can drag more stuff from the storage unit. I am a pack rat who is storing her packrat daughter’s things while she is at school in Florida. We both decided it is time to downsize more. In the last two years we have moved from 3200 sq ft to 1800 sq ft now to 1400 sq ft., 5 bedrooms and 3 baths to 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. The bathroom is a challenge with two teenagers at home.
So today I went to the doctor because my left eye is swollen and I have a rash on my neck for 4 days. Now on stronger medicine since last doctor visit Wednesday night. Hope it will clear up and not be as itchy. Left cheek is numb so that is weird. Still not sure whether it is poison ivy or just allergy to some crazy new thing. Cannot wait to be rid of it.
I am listening to Darcy Nair Bond CD “I feel my Heart Fly”, a wonderful hammered dulcimer artist from Northern Virginia. Also in the background is hammering as the neighbor’s house is being rebuilt after a house fire last winter. Tom, the neighbor has been wonderful letting me borrow tools and filling me in on the neighborhood. He has caught 4 raccoons in the last month, they have been relocated to a country setting far away from our busy road out front.
Well I am going to cut some zinc to frame a raccoon panel for my daughter Meagan. She loved the Pocahontas movie and Meeko the raccoon when she was young. Hope you have a great day and make some art in your life today.
