Reading not Crafting

On Saturday, Marc and I celebrated our wedding anniversay.  23 years on the 23rd.  I told Marc it was our "golden" anniversary, something Mel tells me.  When your birthday is the same day as your age, it's your golden birthday - I stretched that for our anniversary.  We were not supposed to give gifts - we're shopping for couches, but Marc gave me a beautiful pair of golden earrings.  Such a guy!

I have been busy making things but it's just too dark to photograph!   I have also been busy reading.  Miss KC recommended The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and I could not stop reading it, what a great novel! Then after hearing Patti Smith's interview on NPR, I ordered Just Kids.  Why didn't I listen to Patti Smith before?  I had an impression of her, probably encourage by Gilda Radner's SNL skits of "Candy Slice" and that impression was not true.   

Feet to the fire, I have not done anything physcially creative today. I've glanced at the MS Living magazine. Knit a few rows on a sock. I'm going to work on creating links for glass beads after I get off the computer. I have been thinking about a class I'm taking at the Art and Soul retreat next month. I am wondering about working with a horse photograph. Will it be OK? I wonder.

It's A New Dawn, A New Day and A New Year

It's a new year and I am going to devote it to being more ceative.  To that end, I am so excited that Art and Soul Retreat is coming to Las Vegas in February.  I am taking classes all four days and was able to get a class with Sally Jean Alexander.  Next weekend, I am taking Mel down to So Cal for a couple of Pony Club clinics.  I wanted to see my friends but didn't want to spend all day at the clinics.  I thought about visiting French General in it's new location and registered for a millinery flower class on Saturday. 

I've gradually realized (although I've heard it before) that you have to nourish creativity.  You have to do something every day and I've been working towards that end.  I've made suttering efforts in the past but this past year has shown me that's well rewarded.

Last - here's this picture.  Are they not beautiful?
