Back In The Studio

I've been spending a lot of time in my studio.

Cleaned things up a bit, and removed the daybed, too crowded with it there,

and hauled a chair back up into the corner. 

We've had a glorious cool June, but the tide is turning, so I'm retreating from

the garden back inside till fall temps. 

Getting the chair up the stairs and around the half wall

was challenging. Another one of my "midnight" ideas.

I pushed the chair end over end up the stairs, easy peasy,

but then it couldn't clear the turn into the room.

With one huge lift I got it up on it's back on top of the wall,

praying it didn't crash down to the bottom floor and slid it

 along the half wall into the room. Pretty proud of myself actually, 

but did receive a scolding from darling daughter.

I just had knee injections that afternoon and was feeling "powerful",

but of course she thought I was over doing.

Don't we all Over Do?

 

I've been gilli printing and painting and I took several free and also fee classes

on line the past few months and weeks. Ordered some supplies from Amazon, 

that arrive today and I will be attempting 

to paint "things"- flowers maybe, a dog for the first time?

 I will show anything that I'm not mortified to show you.

 They will not be realistic for sure,

but hopefully not trashcan worthy. The fun is the process right?

I also hope to FINALLY finish that damn blue log cabin quilt, begun years ago 

and worked on off and on for years. I showed it last year hoping 

to guilt myself into finishing... Why do we sometimes just get "stuck" on 

things like this.? I have a small area in my hallway that needs to be repainted. It might take 

about 30 minutes? Can I do it? Nope

I have four hallway lights I have hated for 30 years. Looked recently to replace, $$

but I'd rather save for new flooring. So I'm going to paint the bases from gold to black.

I can't /won't remove so I'll paint in place, hehe

I'll take you along for that adventure.

I've worked out a clever solution I think.

I have to keep busy to avoid the dread I feel about the world and society.

It's a frickin' mess for sure.
