Only time will tell...
A pleasant surprise when I went out on the front porch. Flowers blooming today...
SUNDAY - Recovery Day 2
I stopped by my Weekly Morning Art Zoom for a little while this morning... from my living room sofa. It was only for a short visit, but longer than Friday night's visit so I considered it a win. By the time my 15 minutes were up, I was ready for a nap!
MONDAY - Recovery Day 3
I haven't been up to the studio since Thursday! I really wanted to fix that since Prompt Deck Playground was planned for the midday so I dragged myself up there. Our fearless leader pulled the following cards for us to gather supplies: Color Card No. 011 - paint straight out of the tube, Medium Card No. 067 - washi tape, and Artist Card No. 115 - Johanna Clough - use papers with torn edges. To these she added three more cards as we played in our journals. The additions? Card No. 028 - grids, Card No. 089 - List of Tiny Delights, and Card No. 056 - Set a 10 minute timer and STOP, no matter what. Here is the page I created in my Get Messy Hangout Journal using a portion of the large piece made in last week's lesson with Brooke Henry:
It was good to do a bit of art, but afterwards, I went straight in for a nap!
TUESDAY - #100Days100ThingsDecluttered
Recovery Day 4
The other night I had and idea for my March entry for the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge. Once again, I climbed up the stairs this morning to choose some YELLOW fabric. No decisions were made so there's no photo to share.
Here's what's happening in construction news today. Prep for roofing the next 3 houses:
WEDNESDAY - Recovery Day 5
Today's trip up to the studio found me enjoying my Weekly Zoom Call with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:
This afternoon we got more new neighbors:
THURSDAY - Recovery Day 6
Well... I've been mostly out of commission for nearly a week. I really wanted to try leaving the house. Alas, that didn't happen! Instead, I went upstairs to find that it's roofing day at the construction site next door...
But the purpose of my climb was for Curiosity Collective at Get Messy. I wanted to take in today's lesson with Amanda @amandswork on IG. Here's what I made in revisiting my gel print landscape work. The circles/bubbles came from Amanda's journal spread and were included to remind myself that play is the most important part of my art exploration:
Moving right along on my 2nd blue sock. The 1st one has been waiting for its match:
FRIDAY - Recovery Day 7
Members of my Knit Group attended Carolina Fiber Festival in Raleigh today. I had hoped that I might be able to go with them, but that didn't happen. Here are the friends who enjoyed the outing...
While I did some mixed media work with my friends at Get Messy. I worked on the following project during this afternoon's Open Studio and my Evening Art Zoom, but the final reveal of this gel print on fabric will come a bit later:
SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I hope you will join me in visiting Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week. There's no YELLOW sewing for me to share this week.
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!
Glad you are recovering, even if it’s not at the pace you’d prefer.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing good going up and down the stairs to your studio! :)
ReplyDeleteFlowers blooming - that's a great sight! Hope you're feeling better each day, Joy.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to be good & recover, but sounds like you are balancing it all well by resting & doing a little bit. And blooming flowers is always a plus. Keep taking care of yourself & knitting socks!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are recovering. Take it easy, don't overdo! (I know that is easy to say! lol). You'll feel better each day. Good you are able to walk the stair to your studio and be creative, it helps our mood. Do take care and speedy recovery, Joy!
