I started writing this post right after I got home from Ashtanga Yoga class yesterday morning. I love Ashtanga, it’s totally challenging – less of the mellow Hatha and more interesting because you work to get your body into what seem to be totally unnatural positions. Cool.
I know I have seemed missing over the last couple of days, but I’ve been organizing both my Webshots (which is now family and kid photos – great spot or the Grandparents to hang out!) and my Flickr which is all artwork…mostly mine, but a bit of Roger’s photography (whatever I can steal, scan and slap on the internet). OH, and there still aren’t many new photos up yet…maybe over the next couple of days!
I have also painted the office (this photo seems MUCH more pink than it really is – it’s more of a peach color.)
note: my pictures on this post have dissappeared! The problem with moving and changing your blog all the time!
However, it’s MUCH nicer (and just a TAD bit more professional) not to have animals painted on the walls….makes me feel much like it’s a real office – now I just have to get those Christmas cards out! I sewed 3 little half curtains to hide the mess in there too…this was one piece of fabric from my mother in law…cool, eh? Another piece my mother in law’s trip to Malasia (I think I’m right on that) is this, which I turned into an insert for the living room swag. It was always too short and I put it up before I had a sewing machine. So, now it’s seamed and there’s an insert in the middle and at the bottom. I’m totally proud of it…and I think the colors work well.
Today we are headed to the art museum….I made banana muffins from this cute kids book, and there’s a little housework to do and then we’re off to the museum. I can’t wait! I need the inspiration!
I’ve joined the “Artist Way” group on Flickr and Yahoo…can’t wait to get started (you also have to buy the book. I think I’m going to do a visual journal. I figure my complete reluctance to do such a thing probably means something, so it will be a good exercise (see Arlee and Sharon’s discussion of this).
Susan Sorrell has given me a bunch of cool links with neat visual journals. I’ll try to highlight them over the next couple of days. Making myself draw every day will be a big challenge. I have no idea why, but I have “issues” with being forced to do anything…even drawing! (maybe rebelious?)
Anyway, maybe more later today, no posts tomorrow because New Year’s Day is deemed “no tech” day (which in this family is HUGE!). But I’ll have lots of time to do “fun” stitching…so that’s good.
