In my studio

I've been making lists in my head the past few days.....things I want to do, things I need to do, things I like, things I don't like.........

What I need to do today:
1. Clean my bathroom.
2. Laundry----seems like there is always a lot to do.
3. Take Bandit the Wonderdog for a walk or two.

What I want to do today:
1. Putter.
2. Find a cozy spot to curl up and relax with a good book and hot drink.
3. Make art.

What I'll probably do today:
1. Clean the bathroom.
2. Take Bandit the Wonderdog for a walk or two, even though it's raining.
3. Laundry---but only one load!
4. Make art.
5. Read or watch a movie, curl up on the couch under my down comforter, and eat something warm and nourishing.
(Not necessarily in this order! But I will clean the bathroom first to get it out of the way.)

Finishing what I started

My first altered book, started in April, 2005. Completed January 25, 2006. Completing this allowed me to "close the book" on some other things. Don't let anyone ever tell you that art doesn't heal. Making it, looking at it, becoming part of the creative process............it all works some kind of inner magic!

Resurfacing..........

I feel compelled to share some of the things I have learned as a result of some of my recent experiences.
1. Don't hold resentment.
2. Don't settle.
3. Saying good-bye is hard, but not saying good-bye can be even harder.
4. Finish what you start.

too soon...........
