This fabric that I painted, warm sunshine and a delicious dinner out with Mr C. And, of course, Scooter always makes me happy.

This is my fiber sketch for today – a composition with fused hand-dyed fabric.

Have a nice week-end. Our rain is coming back tomorrow, but, one day of sunshine makes it bearable.

I am trying so hard to be positive and find the energy to be creative. I went to bed with a scratchy throat and woke up feeling the same, with a slight fever and achiness. I don’t know if it is allergies or a cold. I do feel better tonight.

M & M came over today while Steph and Jack had lunch with a client. I felt badly that I was not up to being super granny, but they had a great time playing computer games and watching Disney TV channel.

The sun came out for a brief visit this afternoon and I took Scooter for a half hour walk. I even felt pleasantly warm.

Tonight, I had some fun in my studio. I felted the little landscape for my sketchbook project. It was lots of fun. I want to try some more little pieces.

I also worked on the yellow/purple piece. I am really excited at how it is turning out. I am going out on a limb and trying something that I have had in the back of my mind. I am hoping that I can spend some quality time with it tomorrow. I leave you with this positive affirmation which I will take to heart.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.
