This morning I am feeling so grateful to have spent time with a good buddy last night. We had dinner and multiple good laughs. It is so good to feel "understood" by a friend -- especially when I have trouble understanding myself, sometimes! I am so grateful to all my friends who are kind and supportive, and make life an enjoyable ride. I've learned to laugh about life's struggles more than agonize over them, and am blessed to have people in my life that feel the same and can keep the laughter going. Cheers to my pals!
Today is another jam packed day filled with things that must get done. Just waiting for the hips and legs to cooperate. It's hard to do much when hips hurt. Boo. Today I hope to carve out a block of time to begin the background of my skull piece. It will be different than in quilts past. I have a sample block that I made almost a year ago and put aside that feels right for what I want to have behind the heavily embellished skull form. It is purposefully not super well crafted -- rough around the edges and surface. Will have fibers and beads with less density that in the foreground. Maybe text. Time to get rocking on it! Here's a taste...
Blurry photo taken last night in a darkened room, but the gist is there. It is fun to be off in a new and unknown creative direction again. Hoping for time to make it happen in full.
What will you make today?
