Studio

 It has been around a year, maybe longer, that Keziah has been hoping to rent a studio at a local art school.  Today that finally happened.  Officially it will be February 1st, but she and I are going to split the cost and rent this space.  We are SO excited!!  There are still things left there from the previous tenant.  We went in and swept the place out today and I think we are going to move things around a little more tomorrow.  We want to make sure that the things that don't belong to us that we can't use are separate or out of there before we move things in.  In the beginning, for me, I will be bringing some of my things there to organize, like boxes of photos.  My loom will fit in there though.  I have a floor loom that a friend is keeping for me in his barn.  I'm looking forward to making the time to work there doing whatever.

One half...

The other half.

Other happy things for today:

  • Graffiti and art in the studio.


  • Winston, the orange tabby.
This made me giggle.

  • As mentioned about a week ago, I am on some meds to help combat my depression.  Today I found that I was smiling, for hardly any reason.  I'm not saying I never smile or laugh, but this was a pleasant kind of unusual for me.
  • Day 12 of the A&S challenge I continued to work on sewing together some weaving to make a bag.  I'm going to try to have it finished before Weaving Wednesday.

Peaches

 We missed the window of opportunity to harvest any peaches.  The local wildlife however did not.  I moved a wildlife camera to the very overgrown garden and got some evidence as to what animals are scavenging for food there.  The videos I have uploaded to YouTube are my happy things for today.  It has been a while and I hope I did it all right.  Enjoy! https://youtu.be/eGde2FkGAM4 https://youtu.be/sPTce7Xg-f8 https://youtu.be/Z478nzo-pOs https://youtu.be/CakS5Z6Aisg https://youtu.be/4XVWowksaO8 ☮ Thank you for being part of my happy things.  Stay safe.

Snow Sounds

 When I don't work and my schedule adjusts to daytime, I often stay snuggled in bed doing things on my phone. This morning it was snowing outside. I can hear the cars go by. I can tell when the roads are wet. Right now (around 8 AM) I can tell that some snow is staying on the roads and under tires, at least in some spots. There is a muffled crunching sort of sound the tires make when rolling over snow. And yet there isn't. I realize that the crunching was a slower vehicle, probably on the side of the road, turning, or driveway. Most cars are traveling at a reasonable speed, the snow is most likely blowing to the sides, lightweight. The sound is still muffled slightly which tells me that the snow is falling.  Other happy things for today: Day 5: Today the A&S challenge is not an unfinished project.  I found my lucet so I decided to refresh my memory on how to do a lucet braid. There were YouTube videos and multiple failed attempts. Eventually I used a video ...

Weaving Day

My grandson, Gideon, has been trying to learn magic tricks with cards. He struggles with the slight of hand, and knows it. I admire that he is trying. He also tries to invent new card games. Other happy things from today: My friend, Amy, had a craft afternoon at her house today for just a few people. Most of us had weaving projects. I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but made some good progress on my loom. It was also good to spend time with friends.  Later, at home the family had leftovers from Thanksgiving, including pie for dessert. The pies are almost gone and I have enjoyed them while we've had them.  We also watched a movie together. Spider-Man: No Way Home was a really good movie that Keziah and I had seen, but Gideon and Zed had not. There was laughter in the beginning of the movie and tears at the end. I like that we watch things together and often discuss them after. ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations ...
