9 Moons Ago

Inspired by morning pages:

Took “off” for the weekend since we partied and then spent the night at Mum and Dad’s to visit with them and Ebony. The party was great fun. I did go as Mother Nature after all. Easy enough to make a wreath, from all the stuff in the garden. And I wore a blue dress and a green silk robe over it, which has a leaf pattern.
Yesterday, Eb and I made “ooze” from a kit that we gave her. And that made me think of silly putty and the rest…
Didn’t do my artist date last week, but I’ll see if I can make up for it this week. Time sometimes seems to get away from me, and before I realise it, it’s the end of the week. I have no clue what I’m doing for this week though, so I’ll start thinking about that!

But…
this reading deprivation for week 4 is driving me nuts!! I HATE it. I still check email once a day, and the weekend wasn’t bad since we were busy, but arghhhh…I can’t wait till Saturday! But, maybe it’s going to benefit me more than I realise? I did take the extra time and effort tonight to make pumpkin bread. I probably wouldn’t have bothered doing that normally, because it’s a bit involved. We’ll see what changes the next few days bring…

Another storm. Power was out for most of the day/night. Played Rummikub and Poker by candlelight till we were bored silly. Still don’t know what I’m going to wear as a costume for the party. The store I was going to go to for my Artist Date has been closed 2 days in a row. Bleh. Glad the electricity is on now and the fan is working. Tea and toast and then headed to bed!

Back after the storm.

Decided to do a bit of site clean-up, and delete a bunch of links that I don’t visit that much. Making room for the new. Don’t know which ones I’ll add yet, or when, but I’ll probably put up a couple at a time. In the meantime, I’m keeping my eye out!

It’s Australia Day. (Public Holiday) Hot hazy day with smoke from far off bushfires drifting over the hills. Thunderstorm is rolling in, so I thought I’d post this now since there’s a chance the power could go out. Still letting the paint on the canvas dry a bit longer, as I didn’t realize I’d painted it a little thickly in places. I may work on a sketch in a little while, and possibly do another piece like the pez drawing?
Still trying to think of a costume for Daniel’s party on Saturday. Hrmmm…I may just stick with my original plan of “Mother Nature” and wear a wreath made from garden stuff, and a flowered outfit…. Since there’s a barbeque before the party I’m trying to think of a low maintenance costume that’s easy to take off for a while. We have some paper masks, so I can decorate one of those too.
Oopps..there’s the thunder..I’m gonna scoot!…
