I stayed home all day and I feel like I have been running around on one of those little circles in a gerbil cage...you run and run but you never seem to get anywhere. I have washed all ...well almost all of my wonderful vintage fibers in a pre-soak and gentle cycle on my old Maytag Maggie. I actually washed a little too much because because I try to air dry them over night and then check them out in early morning light of day. They are drying on my kitchen counters, my furniture in the living room, the bathroom downstairs and up, my ironing board in my studio and on my studio table and studio chair. I love holding these precious threads as they begin a new life in my process...I have selected some of the imperfections to adhere on a board for my attempt to print with a fabric collagraph...my thoughts are also about what will happen if I can remove them with the remnants of inks and paints after i make a print...I have never done this before so I am telling myself to "Just Play".
I made the final adjustments for the dinosaur wall hanging for my dear Marshall Cole's third birthday on Sunday. We will spend the day over there on Saturday so I can care for my little angel Morgan..boy do I sound like a grandmother? The rest of the family will attend a special theater performance and then come home for a family game night. Sunday morning we are having a dino breakfast with Safari hats and special pancakes and treats for the day. The sun is suppose to come out on Sunday and tonight we are having snow flurries and thunder...the sun is coming back soon. I need to add the buttons to the dinosaur wall hanging so I will keep this a short spurt of activities in my day.
Tomorrow we are going to have a date...if we can both stay awake and walk around the courthouse square and taste different chocolates and see the art galleries openings and galas. I promised Ken we would be home in time to see the Ohio State University basketball game. March Madness has taken over my family...the phone keeps ringing as they each check on the latest scores. My sister is even getting into the fever pitch of fun :o). I want to sit still tomorrow and finish my Snow Moon piece and get some final photographs. I received a message today with the message to "seek understanding" in others and with my hands busy I realize how fortunate I have been in my life to have such a wonderful circle of creative artists.
